TFW you have to rely on someone else to give you numbers and they get them obviously wrong...

TTGH

git clone https://github.com/rubberduck-vba/Rubberduck.git FooBar fails. Time to nuke VS and reinstall. :fingers-crossed:

this

make sure to delete the folders when you finish

IvenBach

Which folders?

The repo folders?

this

for whatever reasons, installers don't always clean up everything

no, the VS folders

IvenBach

Noted.

got a new sign in my cubicle

> Are you on fire?
No? - then I'm busy.
Yes? - Then put yourself out and wait patiently. I'm still busy.

IvenBach

:barf: non-dark theme

Woot it auto picked up my settings via logging in.

this

what? that fast?

last time i installed vs it was like 30-60 minutes

IvenBach

Problem still exists though...

I did delete the VS folder, but not the installer. That shouldn't have mattered.

[rubberduck-vba/Rubberduck] MDoerner opened issue #4524: RD should recover the selection after each rewrite in a consistent way

> Now that PR #4465 is merged we have one place all rewriting has to go through, the `IRewriteSession`. This presents an opportunity to consistently recover the previous selection after every rewrite.

Currently, each refactoring implements its own way of recovering the selection in the active code pane, wherease the quickfixes make no attempt at all to recover the selection.

My suggestion is to introduce some `ISelectionService` with the capability to save the selection for specified modul

this

web installer?

IvenBach

10:26 PM

Not sure.

vs_community__180819884.1486745309.exe was the install file.

this

if it's a web installer, then you get a dialog where you see it downloading stuff and installing

if it's a offline installer, then there's no downloading anything

also, web installer is only 1-3 MB big

offline installer => lots and lots of gigabytes

IvenBach

Web installer. 1MB

IvenBach

I've exhausted everything I can think of.

Somewhere something has gone terribly wrong and it's affecting me.

this

indeed.

i wish i knew what it was but ....

IvenBach

10:31 PM

Within `C:\Program Files (x86)` there are 3 VS folders.

Microsoft Visual Studio
Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0
Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0

[rubberduck-vba/Rubberduck] MDoerner created comment on issue #3929: Prompt before wiping member attributes

> Now that our rewriting setup has changed a bit and that we have to contexts from the attributes parse for members able to have attributes on the declarations, I would suggest to tackle the actual problem.

My idea is to save the attributes by `QualifiedMemberName` for all affected modules when applying code pane rewriters, to hook up a new task with the state change to `Ready`, then to reapply the attributes in that task and finally unregister the task from the state changes event again.

Vogel612

@IvenBach oh wow, that's....

a lot of different VS versions there

IvenBach

Within the first folder Microsoft Visual Studio I deleted the 2017 directory where it was installed. Should I delete the other 10.0 and 14.0 folders?

Vogel612

I would just uninstall from software menu / vs installer where possible

because VS is probably not just the visual studio folders

M.Doerner

I also have four VS versions on my system.

IvenBach

10:33 PM

I used control panel > uninstall

this

leave the others alone

if it's not 2017, don't delete it

unlike other software VS and SQL Server are pretty good at coexisting among mulitple versions

M.Doerner

Does anybody else have the problem that logging is disabled all of a sudden in RD?

this

what does your config file say?

few PRs ago I put one out that would automatically disable the logging if it never was edited by an user.

to enable trace-level logging for first time running only.

M.Doerner

log level is 6, whatever that means.

this

that would be None

do you see a waseditedbyuser tag above?

if it's false then that's why

if it's false and the log level is set to 0, it will automatically change to 6 at shutdown

it's set to true whenever you edit the logging level via the setting dialog.

the problem I didn't anticipate is if there's a previous config file that already exists and is missing the tag WasEditedByUser, then it act as if it was set to False and thus disables the logging at the shutdown.

sorry, i didn't remember the tag name correctly -- it's actually UserEditedLogLevel

M.Doerner

10:48 PM

I do not have that tag.

this

That'd be why.

if you go ahead and edit the setting dialog, you should now see the tag added

M.Doerner

I actually had logging on trace before.

this

which also was just the condition to trigger the change.

M.Doerner

I cannot open the settings dialog.

this

oooh

because of the other issue

M.Doerner

10:50 PM

Yep

this

in that case, you can just manually add the tag

<UserEditedLogLevel>True</UserEditedLogLevel>

then change the log level to 0

M.Doerner

Actually, trace is 0, right?

this

that will ensure it does not get changed again next time it's shutdown

yes

[rubberduck-vba/Rubberduck] MDoerner unassigned MDoerner from issue #3098: Resolver can't handle jagged arrays

Vogel612

11:26 PM

weird... I can't fetch from your fork @this

ah, right..

it's because I didn't add my ssh key to windows.

Ignore me

oh jeez.

@this your remote has a ton of tags and branches...

this

hmm. high time i deleted some stuff....

Vogel612

obtw ToolsVersion="16.0" in the project declaration seems to be actually doing something

this

for each work I've done, I've always made a branch. I've just been sloppy with deleting them

Vogel612

yea, it's easy to forget deleting them from the remote

this

i didn't even thunk there'd be a 16.0

were you able to replicate Iven's issue?

Vogel612

11:32 PM

nope

this

then what makes you say it did something?

Vogel612

the fact that the Settings.Designer does now contain a <UserEditedLogLevel> entry

this

how do we know we do have the tools 16.0, whatever it is?

Vogel612

we don't?

this

feels weird to be relying on a version that supposedly hasn't been released yet.

Vogel612

11:34 PM

I dunno, I'd really need to dig into it when I'm not half asleep

this

I honestly have no idea what it is really. I assumed it was tied in w/ the VS

Vogel612

it also added a ton of XAMLs as <None ...><Generator>MSBuild:Compile</Generator></None> to the Core csproj

but I don't know how correct or useful that is

Comintern

IIR my build did that once or twice, but it stopped for some inexplicable reason.

IvenBach

11:46 PM

I get that as well.

Vogel612

sigh... MS is making it hard again ...

[rubberduck-vba/Rubberduck] BZngr created comment on issue #4524: RD should recover the selection after each rewrite in a consistent way

> I'm definitely in favor of a consistent 'rule' for setting the selection after a rewrite. That said, in the case of refactorings that create something in a new module (e.g. extract interface) we may want more that an offset. As a user, I think I would expect to be presented with a selection somewhere in the new interface declaration module.

BigBen

Regex question: what would be the pattern to match a number, nested within text, with decimal places but not immediately followed by %? first time using regex. started out with "\d*\.\d*" and am unsure where to go from there. Examples: would match 1.3, 2.4 but not 1.3% or 2.4%.

Comintern

@BigBen Is this a VBA regex?

BigBen

@Comintern Yes

Vogel612

11:59 PM

we got a tool for that
