Scripty Visual Studio extension URL is not working

Hi Guys,

When I click on the "Scripty Visual Studio extension URL" I get 404, Is Scripty still a thing? Being supported and developed?

Thanks Regards

Sorry about that - I should probably remove the link. There were reports of the vsix breaking Visual Studio. Since I don't have time to look closer at it right now, I unlisted the package lest it get swamped with bad reviews. The MSBuild package should still work though, at least for most types of projects.

Is Scripty still a thing? Being supported and developed?

The short answer is that no, it's not currently being supported and developed. The longer answer is that I'm not prepared to consider it abandoned yet. I have the intention of coming back here and resurrecting the project at some point, though it's been a year or two and that hasn't happened yet so I have no idea when.

We've used scripty in the past to generate code and it's been a very useful tool.

Since visual studio has been updated, the extension was no longer working.

Calling the scripty.exe worked but, to simplify calling the .exe, we would end up regenerating all the .csx output on each change that we wanted to capture.

I've created a fork of scripty with a 'vs2019' branch in which I've gone through and 'updated' the code to work in our situation (vs2019 - framework - not core at this time)

It appears to be working (on my machine), but I don't know if it is worth a pull request as it could not work on older visual studios with the changes I've done.

Thoughts?
