Weird resharper issue with action lists that don't work.

Question

So we had a power outage at work the other day and ever since then ReSharper and Visual Studio just aren't playing nicely. The issue occurs when I try to click on one of the light bulb action lists, they just disappear. I also noticed that when I compile and there is an error, the error list acts like it's trying to open but doesn't. I have un-installed and re-installed resharper and run a repair on VS. Has anyone else run into this?

You can see an example of what I mean here: http://rapidshare.com/files/197237456/resharper.avi

Answer 1

Can you access the context actions menu via the shortcut key? On my install (IntelliJ/R#2 key bindings) the shortcut is ALT+ENTER.

If you do try another reinstall, you might like to revert to default factory settings by moving the settings file (My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Settings\CurrentSettings.vssettings) and seeing if it's a config thing.

Also, you haven't stated what version of R# you're using. I see that you're using auto properties so that must be VS2008. Are you using the nightly builds for 4.5?

Failing all of this, your best bet would be to file a bug report with JetBrains's issue tracker, Jira.

Good luck with this one. I hate being without ReSharper!

Answer 2

I had VS Database Edition installed and apparently it causes issues with resharper. I un-installed it and the problem went away.

Answer 3

I had the same problem, including having vs database edition installed, and solved it by resetting the Visual Studio settings.

vs cmd prompt: devenv /resetsettings

Note: you might need to run cmd prompt as an administrator
