Visual Studio Integration Issues
02 Jun 2014, 23:25

Really excited to see the new Visual Studio integration however when I edit a cBot in Visual Studio it wont build, I get the following error:

No cTrader or cAlgo was found with version 1.20 or higher

I'm running Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate Edition, Everything installed as described in the help pages. I also tried this on another machine (also running Windows 7 and VS 2012 Ultimate) which produced the exact same result.

Please let me know if you need any further information to support you in identifying the issue?

Please run cAlgo and press Shift+Ctrl+Alt+T. It will send us troubleshooting information. Thank you for your assistance.

Please update the Visual Studio Extension using Extensions and Updates in Visual Studio. Let us know if problem persists.

Hey Guys,

Half way there... The solution now builds but any changes i make in VS don't get reflected in cAlgo... for example:

Adding Print("Hello from visual studio"); to the onBar method does not get updated in cAlgo, even if I save and build in VS.

Will be changes applied if you restart cAlgo? Please make sure that cBot is not running during the build. Please also try to add your code to the OnStart method.

If I restart cAlgo it does update the code changes.

I'm not running the cBot when I change the code.

So in summary, unless I restart cAlgo i don't get any code updates made in VS.

Are you running cAlgo in Virtual Machine?

Is "Documents" a shared folder? Are you running your virtual machine on Mac?

Documents is NOT shared.

I'm running VMWare Fusion on a Mac.

I also have this issue.

if I edit in calgo, and return to vstudio , vstudio states the source code has changed do you want to refresh. However edit in vstudio, nothing appears in calgo until the restart.

In the YouTube demo it seems to work.

thanks.

RE:

Can you answer to next questions

Do you face such problem everytime?
Do you run cbot while saving changes in VS?
Do you use VM ? Is "Documents" a shared folder? Are you running your virtual machine on Mac?
