Installation Feedback
After installing the package, the install dialog prints out "Installation failed" in red. This sent me into an infinite loop of installing the package over and over again. After giving up, I tried to create a normal VB.NET project and realized the packages were already installed.
I'm using…
- Xamarin 4.2.2
- Mono 3.2.5
- Mountain Lion
- Starbucks Wi-Fi (don't know if this would help but any information is useful)
The dialog sent you into an infinite loop or do you mean you tried installing the package again and again?
Also if you click the Messages part you can see the error with a call stack which might help work out what the problem was.
I went on trying to install it over and over again.
That being said, I cleaned up Xamarin from my machine—removing the MonoTouch from /Developer, removing its plist using launchctl, removing the Mono.framework from /Library and trashing the app bundle using AppCleaner. After reinstalling Xamarin—from scratch, that is—the packages for ASP.NET up to MVC 3 with Razor already exist. Can this be the reason?—because Xamarin was recently updated to include these?
Also, I do not understand which messages pane you ask to check. The Details pane in the installation of the sub modules is always blank
Near the bottom of the Manage Packages dialog there is a Messages label with an arrow next to it. If you click the arrow it will expand and show more information about what happened during the installation of a NuGet package.
It does not get up to this point for me.
The way I solved this problem is by downloading a pre-packaged project which works with MVC 4 Razor. I now use this as a boilerplate.
