Rider asks to install csharpier every time I open it

[donkee]

Rider keeps asking me to install csharpier globally or locally every time I open a project, even though I have the latest version installed globally (0.24.2 as of this time). I click to have it install it globally, nothing seems to happen, but csharpier still seems to format on save like I've set it to do.

So really the issue is just the annoying pop-up every time I open a project.

Is there anything in the rider logs about what CSharpier is trying to do? https://github.com/belav/csharpier/tree/main/Src/CSharpier.Rider has details of getting to the logs. I normally only see this when CSharpier is failing to install, but if your format on save is working that doesn't seem to be the case. The plugin installs its own copy of CSharpier because it leaves the tool running, which can cause issues if it makes use of the default tool install.

Here's the CSharpier logs from the last few days:

and here's me checking the version of the tool in my terminal:

[sirdawidd]

In my case it require .net in version 6 where i have 7 so it failing

dotnet csharpier --version You must install or update .NET to run this application.

App: C:\Users.dotnet\tools\dotnet-csharpier.exe Architecture: x64 Framework: 'Microsoft.NETCore.App', version '6.0.0' (x64) .NET location: C:\Programs\dotnet-sdk-7.0.101-win-x64

I have dotnet 6 and am using it

@donkee the plugin installs its own version of CSharpier, which is the part I believe is failing. It will determine the version to install based on a dotnet-tools.json or running the dotnet csharpier --version command that you are.

There should be some logs prior to the ones you sent that look something like this

2023-05-27 11:49:58,742 [   4376]   FINE - #c.i.c.CSharpierLogger - Ensure there is a csharpier process for C:\projects\csharpier\Src\CSharpier.Cli

The Adding new version entry will hopefully have another entry after it indicating the error.

I'm hoping to add better error detection to the install process soon to surface the error to the user without needing to get into the log.

I don't see anything like your example. The only other thing I can see is the following:

2023-05-26 08:07:12,004 [ 131684]   WARN - #c.i.o.a.e.ActionUtil - Action is not performed because target component is not showing: action=com.intellij.csharpier.InstallGlobalAction, component=com.intellij.notification.impl.NotificationsManagerImpl$10

Should I create a dotnet-tools.json file? I am using an M1 Mac, btw - in case that matters.

That message doesn't seem related.

It could be that you are running into the problem here - https://github.com/belav/csharpier/issues/716#issuecomment-1532178103 which has a workaround for setting PATH.

I am hoping to address the problem in https://github.com/belav/csharpier/issues/893

I ran this command launchctl config user path "xxxx1:xxxx2:xxxx3" and rebooted, but I'm still seeing the behavior
