Is MvcScaffolding compatible with VS 2013 RC by command line?

Question

At NuGet when I try to install MvcScaffolding, by typing:

Install-Package MvcScaffolding 

I am getting this error

Set-DefaultScaffolder : Cannot get an instance of EnvDTE.DTE

Is it happening because of this new scaffolding engine in Visual Studio 2013 ?

Solution 1

I emailed Scott Hanselman about this a few weeks back. Here's his response:

We've found out what's up and we are going to release a fixed version, although we're taking Scaffolding in a new direction with VS2013 we still want this to work. Thanks for finding this bug.

So I'd keep eyes peeled for a new release of MvcScaffold that will hopefully resolve this. In the mean time, there are new features for VS2013 that take scaffolding in a much-improved direction, so you may want to investigate those.

Edit: There's a new package available (make sure to run VS2013 as admin to get it to work):

Install-Package MvcScaffolding -Version 1.0.8-vs2013 -Pre

Solution 2

I came across this same bug in VS2015. I pulled the source, fixed the bugs, and uploaded new NuGet packages with linked dependencies. The 3 new packages are:

• MvcScaffolding.VS2015
• T4Scaffolding.VS2015
• T4Scaffolding.Core.VS2015

If you simply install the MvcScaffolding package, the other packages will be pulled through. Hope this helps someone else. Cheers.

Solution 3

I found that I had to go into my .\packages folder (for the solution) and manually delete all MvcScaffolding and T4Scaffolding package folders (I have the NuGet "restore packages" feature enabled that, I thought, would take care to restore anything that I should not have deleted, plus I made a backup).

After that, antinescience's Install-Package command for vs2013 worked fine, and so did the "Scaffold Controller ..." to scaffold an MVC5 controller.

I'm having the same problem with visual studio 2013 Ultimate RC

[Prisoner ZERO]

As of todays date...I am also having this problem. And none of the prescribed solutions are working

The same problem here the error is still not solved, it would be nice if they solve it because I have to start a new project using Visual Studio 2013, it would be very disappointing to have such problem just at its start :D

I have also this problem and I can't install the package 1.0.8-vs2013, it doesn't install

For those having problems make sure to run VS2013 as admin

Worked for me on VS2013 as well.
