Q# Intellisense Errors - visual-studio

I can build my Q# projects fine, but VS 2017 (v. 15.9.4) has the Intellisense errors code QS6103 of "No namespace with that name exists." for my first two "open" statements shown below. I have tried with both the "0.3.1811.1501" and "0.3.1811.2802" versions of the SDK and Canon.
namespace Quantum.QSharpApplication1
{
open Microsoft.Quantum.Primitive;
open Microsoft.Quantum.Canon;
operation HelloQ () : Unit {
Message("Hello quantum world!");
}
}

What version of .NET Core do you have installed? (You can check using dotnet --version)
I ran into similar problems with Q# IntelliSense not recognizing library namespaces, with .NET Core 2.1.500 and 2.1.403, but with 2.1.402 it works fine. I had to uninstall the higher versions though.

Visual Studio not recognizing installed Core SDKs

I have three versions of .NET Core installed on my machine:
However, both VS2017 and VS 2019 return the following error when I execute dotnet --version command:
PM> dotnet --version
dotnet : Did you mean to run dotnet SDK commands? Please install dotnet SDK from:
I can create a solution targeting .NET Core but when I create a Console App targeting .NET Core, for example, the Debug button is labeled Attach instead of Start as usual, and Start Debugging and Start Without Debugging commands in the Debug menu are disabled.
What I tried so far:
Added "C:\ProgramFiles\dotnet" to system PATH variable.
Modified VS2019 using VS Installer.
Restarted several times.
I did have several other version of .NET Core but uninstalled them since I had no solutions targeting these versions and wanted to clean up.
I only left 2.2.300 and 3.0.100 and when I used VS Installer to modify VS2019 it added SDK 2.1.700.
Any ideas on how to resolve this issue without completely removing Visual Studio and installing from scratch?
Apparently x86 version(s) of .NET Core SDKs must be installed as well. After installing 3.0.100 x86 dotnet --version command works fine and I can build and debug .NET Core projects...

ASP.NET CORE 2.1 Preview "SharedCompilationId" parameter is not supported by the "Csc" task

I am trying run the project with views in separate class library on Mac OSX as described in below article
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2018/03/01/asp-net-core-2-1-razor-ui-in-class-libraries/
The problem is that I cannot build the class library project with Visual Studio Community 7.4 on Mac OS.
Project builds with command line (donet build) without problems but when I try to build it with Visual Studio it throws two errors:
/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/NuGetFallbackFolder/microsoft.aspnetcore.razor.design/2.1.0-preview1-final/build/netstandard2.0/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Design.Compilation.targets(10,10): Error MSB4064: The "SharedCompilationId" parameter is not supported by the "Csc" task. Verify the parameter exists on the task, and it is a settable public instance property. (MSB4064)
/usr/local/share/dotnet/sdk/NuGetFallbackFolder/microsoft.aspnetcore.razor.design/2.1.0-preview1-final/build/netstandard2.0/Microsoft.AspNetCore.Razor.Design.Compilation.targets(5,5): Error MSB4063: The "Csc" task could not be initialized with its input parameters. (MSB4063)
When I change RazorCompileOnBuild to false or remove Content from Content Build project compiles without errors.
Go to Nuget Console and add:
Install-Package Microsoft.Net.Compilers -Version 2.8.2
You will no longer get above mentioned error.
I had this problem on the build server but not locally.
The solution:
Install the updated Visual Studio on the build server. In my case 2017.15.4
As I find you can solve this issue in two ways.
Solution 1
Add Microsoft.Net.Compilers compilers package to the project.
Solution 2
Build the project using the command line. dotnet build
In my case, I had installed the .NET Core 2.1 SDK, but not the runtime.
Strange how Microsoft don't include the runtime in the SDK.
If you face this problem there are three steps you need to take:
Ensure that Nuget package and Target Framework match.
Ensure that the referenced runtime and sdk are installed.
Ensure that Visual Studio is up to date.

CordovaApp.Windows.jsproj(70,3): error MSB4019: The imported project

While doing Create your first app tutorial from official Cordova website, when building the helloworld app, I got the error I've posted above.
I'm building cordova project from commandline and using Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools and Windows 10 SDK - but not Visual Studio with built-in tools.
Why? Because part of my current project, is to prepare dev environment for building Windows 10 UAP apps with Cordova, without need to install Visual Studio.
Anybody here had same or similar problem with building Cordova windows projects without having Visual Studio with tools installed?
Why I need to do, to resolve this issue?
Anybody here had same or similar problem with building Cordova windows projects without having Visual Studio with tools installed?
As far as I know the missing target files are installed together with the Visual Studio instead of the MSBuild Tools.
I created a blank win10 environment(test machine) and installed both MSBuild tools also the Windows 10 SDK, I encountered the issue you have, the Microsoft.VisualStudio.WJProject.Default.props cannot be found.
Then I checked my original machine(have Visual Studio 2015 installed), the folder that contains the correct target files(C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\JavaScript) is created at the same date as Visual Studio installed.
So Visual Studio installed something that we did not install. I have tried to copy the MSBuild folder from my original machine to the test machine, the error MSB4019 has been resolved, but I got another error:
C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\JavaScript\Microsof
t.VisualStudio.JavaScript.UAP.targets(82,3): error : "10.0.14393.0"
is not a supported value for TargetPlatformVersion. Please change it
on the Project Prop erty page.
After search the Internet, the TargetPlatformVersion is related to the Windows SDK version, then I have changed the value to the windows SDK version in the project file, but this error is still persist.
Obviously, The easiest way to build your building Cordova windows projects is to install Visual Studio. If you want make it work without Visual Studio, it sometimes a lot of work to figure out. You'll need to install the right Windows / .NET Platform SDK. You can install multiple of these SDKs side by side. You might need to install further SDKs to get your application to compile. The downloads for these all assume that you also have Visual Studio installed, but many of their payloads can also be installed separately. It can become quite a hassle.
Hope this can help you.

Xamarin Studio 6 incompatible with NUnit 3.2.1

I've downloaded the latest copy of xamarin studio which is 6.0 build 3668. I've built a tiny console app and I'm trying to run some unit tests through the UI in xamarin, but I get a message saying that nunit 3.2.1 is unsupported. I have a fake script which does work when run in the terminal.
Full error message is here : Skipped loading assembly test because it references an unsupported version of the nunit.framework, 3.2.1.0.
Can anyone help please ?
I have also faced the problem: "Error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'NUnit' could not be found".
It's because the .dll file is not loaded in the references of the solution.
In my case, I am using Monodevelop/Xamarin Studio 7.8.4,
having multiple NUnit dlls in the monodevelop.UnitTest directory.
Duo to this reason, I had to add reference manually.
As I am using the Ubuntu 18.04 distribution, the nunit.framework.dll assembly was locketed at: usr/lib/monodevelop/Addins/MonoDevelop.UnitTesting/NUnit2/nunitframework.dll
So, I just added this assembly to the my project and the unit test was working fine.
Note: here I have added nunit.framework 2.6.4 assembly.

Where can I find the TypeScript version installed in Visual Studio?

Maybe it's obvious, but I checked everywhere (besides the right place) and googled it. Nothing.
If you only have TypeScript installed for Visual Studio then:
Start the Visual Studio Command Prompt
Type tsc -v and hit Enter
Visual Studio 2017 versions 15.3 and above bind the TypeScript version to individual projects, as this answer points out:
Right click on the project node in Solution Explorer
Click Properties
Go to the TypeScript Build tab
Two years after the question was asked, using Visual Studio Command Prompt still did not produce right answer for me. But the usual Help|About window seems working these days:
UPDATE (June 2017):
VS 2013 does NOT show this info. (Later note: VS 2017 Enterprise edition does not show this info either).
VS uses Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild) to compile Typescript files. MSBuild can support several major releases of Typescript, but About window shows only the latest one.
Here is how to get to the bottom of it:
A. To check which versions of Typescript are installed with your Visual Studio/MSBuild, inspect contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript folder. For example, I have versions 1.0, 1.8 and 2.2:
B. Check which version of Typescript is requested by your project. In *.csproj file, look for <TypeScriptToolsVersion> tag, or you can add it if it is missing, like this
<PropertyGroup>
...
<TypeScriptToolsVersion>1.8</TypeScriptToolsVersion>
...
</PropertyGroup>
C. Finally, you can check, which version of Typescript is actually used by MSBuild. In TOOLS | Options | Projects and Solutions | Build and Run set MSBuild project output verbosity to Detailed:
Then build your project and inspect the output: you should see the reference to one of Typescript folders described in (A).
Based in the response of basarat, I give here a little more information how to run this in Visual Studio 2013.
Go to Windows Start button -> All Programs -> Visual Studio 2013 ->
Visual Studio Tools A windows is open with a list of tool.
Select Developer Command Prompt for VS2013
In the opened Console write: tsc -v
You get the version: See Image
[UPDATE]
If you update your Visual Studio to a new version of Typescript as 1.0.x you don't see the last version here. To see the last version:
Go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript, there you see directories of type 0.9, 1.0 1.1
Enter the high number that you have (in this case 1.1)
Copy the directory and run in CMD the command tsc -v, you get the
version.
NOTE: Typescript 1.3 install in directory 1.1, for that it is important to run the command to know the last version that you have installed.
NOTE: It is possible that you have installed a version 1.3 and your code use 1.0.3. To avoid this if you have your Typescript in a separate(s) project(s) unload the project and see if the Typescript tag:
<TypeScriptToolsVersion>1.1</TypeScriptToolsVersion>
is set to 1.1.
[UPDATE 2]
TypeScript version 1.4, 1.5 .. 1.7 install in 1.4, 1.5... 1.7 directories. they are not problem to found version. if you have typescript in separate project and you migrate from a previous typescript your project continue to use the old version. to solve this:
unload the project file and change the typescript version to 1.x at:
<TypeScriptToolsVersion>1.x</TypeScriptToolsVersion>
If you installed the typescript using the visual studio installer file, the path to the new typescript compiler should be automatically updated to point to 1.x directory. If you have problem, review that you environment variable Path include
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.x\
SUGGESTION TO MICROSOFT :-) Because Typescript run side by side with other version, maybe is good to have in the project properties have a combo box to select the typescript compiler (similar to select the net version)
The tsc -v command run technically reads the TypeScript compiler version within the SDK directory set within the Windows Path variable. This doesn't necessarily reflect the latest version installed as the Path variable is not updated with subsequent installations.
The version that VS.NET uses to compile the TypeScript is what's in the project's configuration:
<TypeScriptToolsVersion>1.5</TypeScriptToolsVersion>
To help explain this more in detail I created the following post which has the specifics on the TypeScript versions installed, and which version VS.NET uses to compile the TypeScript files.
Which Version of TypeScript is Installed and Which Version is Visual Studio Using?
I also added a feature request on Microsoft Connect to make viewing and switching the TypeScript targeted version in VS.NET easier. This isn't really a TypeScript feature request as much as it is a VS.NET IDE enhancement.
Allow switching TypeScript configured version from Project Properties IDE
The TypeScript team sorted this out in Visual Studio 2017 versions 15.3 and later, including the free Community edition.
How to See Which TypeScript Versions are Installed in Visual Studio
All you now need do is to go to project properties of any TypeScript Visual Studio project (right-click the project file in Solution Explorer/Properties), then go to the TypeScript Build tab on the left-hand side. This has a 'Typescript version' dropdown that shows you the version the project is using, and if you open it the dropdown shows you ALL versions of TypeScript currently installed in Visual Studio.
The actual installs are currently at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript and then subfolders by version number, at least on Win10 on my computer. If you want to see the exact version (e.g. 2.8.3 rather than just 2.8) you can find the appropriate tsc.exe in here and look at its properties (Details tab in right-click/Properties in File Explorer).
How to Install Specific TypeScript Version
If you want to install a specific version of TypeScript then these can be found on Visual Studio Marketplace, although specific version numbers can be a little difficult to find in that list. A Google search for, for example, 'visual studio marketplace typescript 3.3.1' will usually find the exact version you want. If you install from here and restart Visual Studio the version will appear in the dropdown. Note also that some of the latest versions of TypeScript (e.g. 4.2) will refuse to install if there's a more recent version installed.
Node.js Console Applications
This answer does not apply to the 'Node.js Console Application' project type, which doesn't have a TypeScript Build tab in project properties. This is because it uses a version of TypeScript installed in the project folder using npm. The version can be seen and changed in the package.json file, and when installed appears under the npm entry in Solution Explorer, and in the node_modules/typescript folder on disk.
On Visual Studio 2015 just go to: help/about Microsoft Visual Studio
Then you will see something like this:
Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2015
Version 14.0.24720.00 Update 1
Microsoft .NET Framework
Version 4.6.01055
...
TypeScript 1.7.6.0
TypeScript for Microsoft Visual Studio
....
You can run it in NuGet Package Manager Console in Visual Studio 2013.
As far as I understand VS has nothing to do with TS installed by NPM.
(You may notice after you install TS using NPM, there is no tsc.exe file).
VS targets only tsc.exe installed by TS for VS extension, which installes TS to c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\X.Y.
You may have multiple folders under c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript.
Set TypeScriptToolsVersion to the highest version installed.
In my case I had folders "1.0", "1.7", "1.8", so I set TypeScriptToolsVersion = 1.8, and if you run tsc - v inside that folder you will get 1.8.3 or something, however, when u run tsc outside that folder, it will use PATH variable pointing to TS version installed by NPM, which is in my case 1.8.10.
I believe TS for VS will always be a little behind the latest version of TS you install using NPM. But as far as I understand, VS doesnt know anything about TS installed by NPM, it only targets whateve versions installed by TS for VS extensions, and the version specified in TypeScriptToolsVersion in your project file.
I have VS2015 and I have to run a build with TypeScript 1.7, although I have 1.8 installed via npm install typescript -g there are two ways (at least for me they worked):
Go to your .proj file and add <TypeScriptToolsVersion>1.7</TypeScriptToolsVersion> as up as possible. Rebuild, re-run. If it doesn't work try 2.
Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Enviroment Variables. Make sure you add your desired TypeScript version first: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.7;C:\Users\serban\AppData\Roaming\npm
This will also affect your CLI:
$ tsc -v
message TS6029: Version 1.7.5
First, make sure you have the following address in your Environment Variables Path
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\2.0
Then open your Command Prompt and type the following command:
tsc -v
You can do npm list | grep typescript if it's installed through npm.
Open a (normal, not the VS) command prompt or a PowerShell prompt.
tsc.exe -v
tsc.cmd -v
tsc -v
If you installed the same version of TypeScript for Visual Studio and using npm, the output from the above three commands should be the same.
If not, check your System PATH to see where in the path hierarchy and which typescript directory is listed. For PowerShell users, the easy way is:
$env:path -split ';'
Be careful of having nothing or multiple TypeScript directories listed in your System PATH variable. As of June 9, 2017, my System PATH looked like this (just the top part, which is all that matters in this situation):
ps>$env:path -split ';'
C:\Windows\system32
C:\Windows
C:\Windows\System32\Wbem
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\2.3
C:\nodejs\
C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\npm
Notice that only the 2.3 directory is included in the PATH, not multiple versions.
In the command prompt, simply type 1 of the following command then hit Enter :
tsc -v
or
tsc -version
or
tsc --version
Note: Make sure you have added Typescript to environment variable path
before running command, details here: How to set environment
variable.
For a non-commandline approach, you can open the Extensions & Updates window (Tools->Extensions and Updates) and search for the Typescript for Microsoft Visual Studio extension under Installed
If you'd like to find out what version of Typescript is being used on a particular project, go to your package-lock.json file. You will find something like this:
"typescript": {
"version": "3.5.3"
}
As of Visual Studio 2022, there is a new TypeScript/JavaScript project type for Angular/React/Vue, the TypeScript SDK is deprecated (but still installable through the VS installer with warnings), and Visual Studio supposedly provides IntelliSense and language support based on the TypeScript version you're using for your project (npm is the preferred way to specify the version of TypeScript you're using, via your package.json file).
Per this answer, though, there are still questions about how to control/discern what specific TypeScript language version Visual Studio 2022 is supporting at any given moment.
