Visual studio 2017 15.3 Freezing with dotnet core libraries

[the4ups]

My bad, sorry. I use another file version. For me commenting this code helps (lines: 134 and 135 in current version):
if (sync)
projectSyncAction.EndInvoke(projectSyncAction.BeginInvoke(generatedFileNames, null, null));

As workaround: comment 145 and 146 at MultipleOutputHelper.ttinclude. This should fix issue.

This? This is line 145 and 146 :/
‘’’
: base(host, template) {
var hostServiceProvider = (IServiceProvider)host;
‘’’

I can't see how that would work at all, you'd get a compiler error.

Not sure why this would be freezing with dotnet core libraries, need a sample project to repro this on as the libs shouldn't make any difference. I can only imagine that the project add-in for VS 2017 for whatever type of project you are using has major problems with the calls I make to add the project to your solution/source control.

One workaround would be to change line 31 https://github.com/damieng/DamienGKit/blob/master/T4/MultipleOutputHelper/MultipleOutputHelper.ttinclude#L31 to read

return new Manager(host, template);

You'll just need to manually add the files to VS using the show file/include in project.

I think the right fix is to leave the suggested change https://github.com/damieng/DamienGKit/blob/master/T4/MultipleOutputHelper/MultipleOutputHelper.ttinclude#L31 undone and then modify the following line (at around line 134)

if (sync)
projectSyncAction.EndInvoke(projectSyncAction.BeginInvoke(generatedFileNames, null, null));

to

if (sync)
projectSyncAction(generatedFileNames);

Fixed.
