Template "Analyzer wite Code Fix (.NET Standard)" displays errors and does not initialize

[fjoppe]

Hi,

I hope I targetted the correct repository for this issue.

I'm trying to follow this tutorial, but I never get to step 3 in "Writing an analyzer" because after chosing the template, multiple errors are displayed, and when clicking them away, an empty solution is displayed.

I had several tries to this, and seen many different errors, which changed by installing additional compononents via the VS installer, ie dotnet core versions which are out of support. I also installed the Visual Studio 2019 preview to overcome other error messages.

When I choose the template, I choose Framework 4.7.2. I also had the issue with other framework versions (4.5-4.8). There's no dotnet core in the list.

The errors which I currently get are all in this format:

A problem was encountered creating the sub project 'Analyzer2'. Operation could not be completed. The project file '|path|\Analyzer2.csproj' cannot be migrated. See the migration report for details.

All errors refer to csproj files. Not one csproj is created in the target path.

My configuration:

I tried a few times and was not able to reproduce this. Can you post either a video or a complete/exact sequence of steps and screenshots for what you are trying to do?
