[BUG] Failed to resolve include text for file EFCoreDesigner.ttinclude

[mciprijanovic]

Hi,

I noticed a bug. Here is the description. Whenever I try to save a change to a model, even just to move a table on the layout, and I try to save, I get errors displayed in the image below.

I have Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Current Version 17.3.3
I have EF Visual editor 4.2.1.3.

This does not happen with older versions of EF Visual Editor. I tried with 4.2.0. all is OK, friend of mine has 4.2.1.0. all OK also.
Can you please investigate what is happening?

One more question is the following: on the official page of the product migration from 2019 to 2022 is described like this:

Migrating from VS2019 You'll have to change a line in your model's .tt file to accommodate how Visual Studio 2022 handles library imports in text templates.
Change line 5, which reads
#><#@ assembly name="EnvDTE"
to be
#><#@ assembly name="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Interop"

However, I didn't change this line in any model and all works OK. I mean, worked OK until the tool update. Should I anyway change the models or not?

For a temporary fix, look in the .tt file in your project. Lines 8-10 likely read

#><#@ include file="EFDesigner.ttinclude" once="true"
#><#@ include file="EF6Designer.ttinclude" once="true"
#><#@ include file="EFCoreDesigner.ttinclude" once="true"

Remove those to get rid of that error. This will be fixed in the next release.

It's ok to leave it be. Something in your environment or project is allowing that to work, and that's ok. It won't be true for the majority of the people ... you're one of the lucky ones.

Re-added those two empty .ttinclude files for legacy model compatability.
