Could Not Find A Part Of The Path ... Bin\roslyn\csc.exe


Answer :

TL; DR



run this in the Package Manager Console:



Update-Package Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform -r



More information



This problem is not related to Visual Studio itself, so answers suggesting adding build steps to copy files over are rather a workaround. Same with adding compiler binaries manually to the project.



The Roslyn compiler comes from a NuGet package and there is/was a bug in some versions of that package (I don't know exactly which ones). The solution is to reinstall/upgrade that package to a bug-free version. Originally before I wrote the answer back in 2015 I fixed it by installing following packages at specific versions:




  • Microsoft.Net.Compilers 1.1.1

  • Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform 1.0.1



Then I looked into .csproj and made sure that the paths to packages are correct (in my case ..\..\packages\*.*) inside tags <ImportProject> on top and in <Target> with name "EnsureNuGetPackageBuildImports" on the bottom. This is on MVC 5 and .NET Framework 4.5.2.



The problem with the default VS2015 templates is that the compiler isn't actually copied to the tfr\bin\roslyn\ directory, but rather the {outdir}\roslyn\ directory



Add this code in your .csproj file:



<Target Name="CopyRoslynFiles" AfterTargets="AfterBuild" Condition="!$(Disable_CopyWebApplication) And '$(OutDir)' != '$(OutputPath)'">
    <ItemGroup>
      <RoslynFiles Include="$(CscToolPath)\*" />
    </ItemGroup>
    <MakeDir Directories="$(WebProjectOutputDir)\bin\roslyn" />
    <Copy SourceFiles="@(RoslynFiles)" DestinationFolder="$(WebProjectOutputDir)\bin\roslyn" SkipUnchangedFiles="true" Retries="$(CopyRetryCount)" RetryDelayMilliseconds="$(CopyRetryDelayMilliseconds)" />
</Target>


Your build is trying to find \bin\roslyn\csc.exe because the following packages have been added to your project. Just review your packages.config file, you can have both of them there



Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform
Microsoft.Net.Compilers



What is Roslyn and Who added them(packages) in the project : If you’re using .net Framework 4.5.2 to create projects
using VS2015, you might have noticed that the project templates use
Roslyn by default. Actually Roslyn is one of open-source
compilers for .NET languages from Microsoft.



Why should we delete Roslyn :
If your project has Roslyn references and you are interested to deploy
it no server, you will get unwanted errors on the website as many
hosting providers still have not upgraded their servers and hence do
not support Roslyn. To resolve this issue, you will need to remove the
Roslyn compiler from the project template.




if you are not interested in using Roslyn,
follow steps bellow to delete it



1.
Remove NuGet packages, use the following commands from Nuget Package Console 



PM> Uninstall-package Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform
PM> Uninstall-package Microsoft.Net.Compilers


2.
After you do this, your web.config file should be auto-updated. In case it is not, look for the below code in web.config file and if it is found, delete this piece of code.



<system.codedom>
    <compilers>
      <compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs" type="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.CSharpCodeProvider, Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" warningLevel="4" compilerOptions="/langversion:6 /nowarn:1659;1699;1701"></compiler>
      <compiler language="vb;vbs;visualbasic;vbscript" extension=".vb" type="Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform.VBCodeProvider, Microsoft.CodeDom.Providers.DotNetCompilerPlatform, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" warningLevel="4" compilerOptions="/langversion:14 /nowarn:41008 /define:_MYTYPE=\&quot;Web\&quot; /optionInfer+"></compiler>
    </compilers>
</system.codedom>

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.
