Can I Install The Custom Document Well (vertical Tabs) Extension For Visual Studio 2019?


Answer :

Update #2

Vertical tabs are out of preview and are now officially part of Visual Studio 2019 v16.4!

Update #1

The new "Vertical Document Tabs" feature is part of Visual Studio 2019 version 16.4 Preview 2. There is also a dedicated blog post.

Original answer

  1. Download CustomDocWell.vsix
  2. Unzip the file, e.g. rename it to CustomDocWell.vsix.zip and extract the contents
  3. Download the workaround extension.vsixmanifest (non-raw page)
    • The only change is that the upper bound of the InstallationTarget version has been removed
  4. Replace the original extension.vsixmanifest with the workaround file
  5. Download the workaround manifest.json (non-raw page)
    • The only change is the sha256 for extension.vsixmanifest has been recalculated
  6. Replace the original manifest.json with the workaround file
  7. Zip the contents into a new CustomDocWell.zip
    • Important: Make sure the root of the zip file is at the level of extension.vsixmanifest and manifest.json, as well as the other files and folders. The root of the zip file should not be a folder named CustomDocWell.
  8. Rename to CustomDocWell.vsix
  9. Run the VSIX file

If you don't get any errors you'll still get a warning when you open Visual Studio 2019:

Deprecation warning

The extension will still work; the Learn more link explains more.

The settings are under Tools > Options > Productivity Power Tools > Custom Document Well.

Errors

If you get an error it's likely that the sha256 of extension.vsixmanifest is incorrect. You can try calculating it on your own (PowerShell has Get-FileHash) and putting it in manifest.json.


For this workaround to work with VS 16.1, just click "Allow synchronous autoload" in the warning banner and restart VS. It will allow the use of the deprecated sync APIs... until the feature comes build in !

For those who have hidden the banner, check this option: Options/Environment/Extensions/Allow synchronous autoload of extensions


In addition to Andrew Keeto's answer: After step 4, in extension.vsixmanifest in the section Add:

<InstallationTarget Version="[15.0,)" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro" /> <InstallationTarget Version="[15.0,)" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Enterprise" />

Or update the max version:

<Installation InstalledByMsi="false">     <InstallationTarget Version="[15.0,17.0)" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Community" />     <InstallationTarget Version="[15.0,17.0)" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro" />     <InstallationTarget Version="[15.0,17.0)" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Enterprise" /> </Installation> <Prerequisites>     <Prerequisite Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor" Version="[15.0,17.0)" DisplayName="Visual Studio core editor" /> </Prerequisites>

I've recalculate the SHA265 for the manifest.json at https://emn178.github.io/online-tools/sha256_checksum.html and replaced it with the sha265 code for extension.vsixmanifest

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
