No way to prioritize SDK resolvers error messages

Open mhutch opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

With multiple SDK resolvers installed, when an SDK cannot be found, errors from all the resolvers are displayed, whether they are useful or not.

For example:

/Users/mikayla/code/ProjectFae/Source/ProjectFaeMono/ProjectFaeMono.csproj : error : /usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/2.1.4/Sdks/Mono.UE4.Sdk/Sdk not found. Check that a recent enough .NET Core SDK is installed and/or increase the version specified in global.json.
/Users/mikayla/code/ProjectFae/Source/ProjectFaeMono/ProjectFaeMono.csproj : error : Could not find UE4 engine matching '{15B0F9D0-4216-D682-DA95-EC969882E53B}'
Project "/Users/mikayla/code/ProjectFae/ProjectFae_Managed.sln" (1) is building "/Users/mikayla/code/ProjectFae/Source/ProjectFaeMono/ProjectFaeMono.csproj" (2) on node 1 (default targets).
/Users/mikayla/code/ProjectFae/Source/ProjectFaeMono/ProjectFaeMono.csproj : error MSB4236: The SDK 'Mono.UE4.Sdk' specified could not be found.

In this case, the error Could not find UE4 engine matching '{15B0F9D0-4216-D682-DA95-EC969882E53B}' provides useful information to help fix the error, as it comes from a resolver that knows how to handle the Mono.UE4.Sdk SDK. The error from the .NET Core resolver is irrelevant, and the final error doesn't add much useful information.

Note that this makes it VERY hard to figure out why the project isn't loading in VS, because VS just says that the SDK could not be found - it doesn't show any of the error messages from the resolvers at all.

@AR-May this is related to the request from @olgaark.
