CodeMaid options are disabled in my text editor and shows command not available error

[gopinathbecse]

Environment

• Visual Studio version: VS 2013 Ultimate with Update 5
• CodeMaid version: 10.3.29
• Code language: C#

Description

After I installed CodeMaid on VS 2013 the code maid options are disabled in text editor. When I press Ctrl M+F (Find in solution explorer) I can see message in VS status bar says

The key combination (Ctrl+M, Ctrl+F) is bound to command (Find In Solution Explorer) which is not currently available.

Steps to recreate

1. Just installed VS 2013 in a new PC
2. Installed CodeMaid
3. Restart VS
4. Nothing done more than that!!

Current behavior

• Also tried to access menu CodeMaid -> Options, nothing happens.

Thanks for reporting the issue. That is strange behavior I have not seen before. The commands in the context menu may disable if the file you have open is not a part of the solution (e.g. you just open a random text file from disk). However the CodeMaid->Options menu should always be available. What happens when you try to launch that?

I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling CodeMaid. Usually the installs are very simple, isolated and work as expected but I don't have a lot of other ideas.

Thanks for the reply Steve. I too feel very strange! I tried re-install multiple times before reporting the issue, but no luck. The file I opened does belong to the solution. Nothing happens when I click on CodeMaid -> Options or CodeMaid -> About CodeMaid Can't able to blame some other applications/versions, because it is a brand new PC, just installed VS 2013+CodeMaid Without CodeMaid it feels like my hands are lost! Please help me to resolve this. At least I need Find in Explorer and  Cleanup active document.

Have you installed all of the VS2013 updates? I think they went up to Update 5.

[gopinathbecse]

Yes. See below.

Perhaps try the following from the command line where Visual Studio's devenv file is located (typically at c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common7\IDE)

devenv /resetskippkgs

followed by

devenv /setup

Hi Steve I Just gave a try. Command "devenv /resetskippkgs" shows a warning window says "CodeMaid" didn't load correctly as below. When I run "devenv /setup" nothing happens! Here with I have attached the "ActivityLog.xml" file which shows some error while creating instance for CodeMaid. Can you please help me to resolve this?

I think some of the content you intended to include did not come across (e.g. ActivityLog.xml attachment)?

Hi Steve, How can I make it work? Is there any possibility to resolve this?

Please go to the GitHub issue and attach your ActivityLog.xml file as well as any other debugging information you have.

I had same issue after update from 10.2 to 10.3.
Visual Studio 2013 CE with update 4.

Instalation .Net framework 4.6.2 solved this.

[gopinathbecse]

Thank you so much @alekk84. It is working great now.

[gopinathbecse]

@codecadwallader, @alekk84 solution fixed my issue. I installed .Net framework version 4.6 and now CodeMaid options and shortcuts are working fine as expected.

[codecadwallader]

Great, thanks all.
