PHP Tools Not Installing Fully on VS2017

Postby Disclosure » October 30th, 2018, 4:24 pm

I have just attempted to install the currently latest PHP Tools version 1.29.11015 however the extension does not appear to have activated. I cannot create new PHP projects (templates are missing in the template selection windows) the PHP Tools About box is missing in the Help menu of VS. If you drop a php file into the IDE the syntax colouring is off and there is no help tooltips when hovering over standard php function names.

The installation went on without any issues. It is shown in the list of the extensions and it is not disabled. Disabling it, restarting VS, enabling it again and restarting VS did not produce any change, it still does not seem to register within the IDE. I tried installing a previous version 1.29.10958 which I know for a fact was working on VS2017 but got exact the same result.

The extension started working this morning, evidently a machine reboot might have helped.

Hello,

Quite strange, VSIX installer did some magic there it seems. I guess it needed the restart for caches to refresh. Anyway I'm glad it works now.

Cheers!
