Forum: IronRuby Working on IronRuby visual studio tools

Re-post of this email as it accidentally was sent as a reply to someone
else's... Oops
-------------------------------------------------
I'm hoping to do some work to fix some of the bugs in IronRuby's visual
studio integration, but I'm having a few issues getting a dev 
environment
up and running.

- I can build IronStudio.sln from the Solutions folder, and my modified
version of the IronRuby tools loads in the visual studio experimental
instance and is fine.
- I can build the full IronRuby installer, and when I install it, my
modified version of IronRuby tools loads in the normal visual studio
instance.

But, I can't figure out how I can build a modified version of IronRuby
tools and run it in a normal instance without doing the full MSI release
build.
Simply building the tools and then launching a normal visual studio
instance produces this error message when I open any solution:

---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
The 'Microsoft.IronRubyTools.IronRubyToolsPackage, IronRubyTools,
Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7f709c5b713576e1' 
package
did not load correctly.



The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the
installation of another extension. You can get more information by 
running
the application together with the /log parameter on the command line, 
and
then examining the file
'C:\Users\orione\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\ActivityLog.xml'.



Continue to show this error message?
---------------------------
Yes   No
---------------------------

If I click Yes, then the projects load, but this dialog reappears 
whenever
I launch VS or load any solutions. If I click no, VS disables the 
IronRuby
addin, and I have to run devenv /ResetSkipPkgs to put it back (and then
the error messages come back). The only way to "fix" the issue is to
uninstall/reinstall the IronRuby tools MSI itself.

Is there a way to get the non-experimental instance of visual studio to
load IronRuby tools without having to do a full build if the MSI in
release mode?

Thanks, Orion

Orion, what can't you accomplish with the experimental hive which you 
think you can do by installing a non-MSI'd IronRuby tools?

The non-MSI installation is not supported as we use the GAC for 
resolving dependencies of "IronStudio" components between Ruby and 
Python. A non-MSI installation using VSIX has no dependency management, 
so things could break easily.

The experimental instance works well for development.
After making a change to the VS tools I'd like to use it "in anger" in 
the
production instance working on real code, and rebuilding/reinstalling 
the
release MSI is just an extra step requiring more time.

If it's difficult to resolve or likely to cause issues then it's no big
deal, I was mainly just curious.

Is there a wiki page which explains this? I could add one?

Thanks, Orion

If you need it for "in production" testing definitely use the MSI. 
That's the way how users will install it.
