Why can't `cargo build` compile structopt-derive in VS Code? - visual-studio-code

I'm trying to write a small CLI application using Rust and the excellent structopt crate.
When I'm using Notepad++ (to write code) and Conemu (to run Cargo commands), everything works fine.
However, when I'm using VS Code with Rust plugin (or Eclipse Corrosion), cargo build command fails with this error
Compiling atty v0.2.10
Compiling clap v2.31.2
Compiling structopt-derive v0.2.10

It seems like some process has locked the output file, but LockHunter (which I use to detect that kind of locks) doesn't detect any...
What is the problem? What can I do - beside coding using Notepad++ - to be able to run cargo commands in VS Code?

Seems like it's a bug in RLS : Windows: RLS keeping derive plugin DLLs opened prevents cargo build from working #802
Whenever the RLS is running for a crate, I can't do cargo build for that crate. It fails with errors like this:
[...]
Looking in Process Explorer, RLS has the derive plugin DLLs loaded. I assume this is what's causing cargo to fail, since it can't write to those files while they're loaded. Similarly, cargo clean fails:
[...]
If I close VSCode (and thus RLS), building with cargo build works fine again.
I assume this is Windows-specific due to its file exclusivity behavior. I think this started happening with a recent nightly (3/28?). I suppose this could've been caused by some change in cargo or rustc causing it to write to dlls which were already built or something.
So solution should be quite simple : update RLS to its latest version and see the bug being fixed !
And to update RLS, it's simply a matter of rustup update

or-tools: build examples on vs2022

I've downloaded the binaries: or-tools_VisualStudio2022-64bit_v9.3.10497
I'm using vs2022 on win10. My shell has cygwin in the path if it's related.
I ran
%comspec% /k "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"
cl.exe is in the path, and which.exe finds it.
I ran make test_cc, but it complained
the cl command was not found in your PATH
exit 127
make: *** [Makefile:271: test_cc] Error 127
The var CXX_BIN was empty even though which cl returned the correct path. I set it manually to cl.
Then, there was a complaint about echo and a newline, which I commented out. Then, it couldn't find md, so I created manually md objs.
A few of the examples were built, but then it stopped with another error. For now, I just got what I want:
make run SOURCE=examples/cpp/solve.cc
but probably there was an easier way to get it?
I tried to build it from the source using cmake. Doesn't work off-the-shelf as well:
Build abseil-cpp: OFF
...
CMake Error at C:/prj-external-libs/vcpkg/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake:824 (_find_package):

cmake looks more promising, and I was missing dependencies. Should give it a flag -DBUILD_DEPS:BOOL=ON.
OR-Tools depends on few external dependencies so CMake build will try to find them using the idiomatic find_package() => your distro/env(vcpkg ?) must provide them, just regular CMake stuff here.
ref: https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/find_package.html
note: we provide few findFoo.cmake here https://github.com/google/or-tools/tree/main/cmake
We also provide a meta option to build statically all our dependencies, simply pass -DBUILD_DEPS=ON cmake option at configure time.
You can also build only some of them, please take a look at
https://github.com/google/or-tools/tree/main/cmake#dependencies
Concerning Gurobi and GRBtunemodeladv symbol, this one has been removed by last version of Gurobi so we fix it in v9.4/main/stable branch...

Unable to run/debug robot tests in vscode - robocorp extensions installed

I have installed Robocorp Code as well as Robot Framework Language Server and have configured them. However, I am still having errors when trying to run the tests via the code lens options.
Repo - A webapi repo with a specific folder containing all tests. Lets call it regression.
RF - 4.1.3
Python - 3.8
This is what happens when I click on Run on the code lens for any of the tests -
`PS C:\git\xxxx\regression> C:; cd 'C:\git\xxxx\regression'; &
'C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\rf-ls-run\run_env_00_smh5defr.bat'

However, the test starts if I remove the argumentfile parameter but it, of course, fails because its missing arguments from the file.
Do note that the folder specified in pythopath exists and has some python libraries needed for the tests.

Live Sass Compiler - #use causes compilation error

I'm using Live Sass Compiler v3.0.0 in my VS Code and it throws a compilation error whenever I use the #use rule to import variables from another file. However, when I use the Sass command line interface (sass --watch) to compile my files, it throws no errors.
Therefore, I want to ask is this caused by a syntax error in my code or a bug of Live Sass Compiler.
Steps to Reproduce
File Structure & Code
This is the file structure of the folder called sass-test that I opened in VS Code:
sass-test
| style.scss
| _variables.scss
style.scss
#use "variables";
html {
color: variables.$primaryColor;
}
_variables.scss
$primaryColor: #ff0000;
Live Sass Compiler Output
Open style.scss in a new tab in VS Code. Then, click the "Watch Sass" button located in the bottom right of the window. Live Sass Compiler would output the following error:
Compiling Sass/Scss Files:
d:\Web Development\sass-test\style.scss
--------------------
Compilation Error
Error: Invalid CSS after " color: variables": expected expression (e.g. 1px, bold), was ".$primaryColor;"
on line 4 of sass/d:\Web Development\sass-test\style.scss
>> color: variables.$primaryColor;
------------------^
--------------------
Watching...
-------------------
Sass CLI Output
Open Terminal and run sass --watch style.scss:style.css. The compiler successfully compiles without any errors:
Compiled style.scss to style.css.
Sass is watching for changes. Press Ctrl-C to stop.
Since my code can compile successfully with Sass CLI, does it mean that my code is syntactically correct and it's caused by a bug from the Live Sass Compiler extension?
I had same/similar problem two days ago.
#use is a new directive introduced in the new official Version 'Dart Sass' and replaces '#import' which is depricated now.
The popular Extension 'Live Sass Compiler' in VS Code is not longer supported by the maintainer for some time. So unfortunately the Sass Version is not updated in that extension...
In VS Code for 'Dart Sass' I found the the Extension 'DartJS Sass Compiler':
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=codelios.dartsass
Actual I just did a quick testing so I cannot report much about it. But on the first glance it is running well. But as it is another extension you may have to change some settings.
UPDATE
Additional to the above reported exentsion DartJS Sass Compiler with actual SASS version I found an actualised and actual maintained fork of Live Sass Compiler. It has been deep hidden in the searching reuslts. As it is a very popular extension in VS Code here the link to the fork:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=glenn2223.live-sass
Remark:
I played arround with both extension. Both are doing the job well and have advantages.
'DartJS Sass Compiler' has the additional possibility for more detailed output like information about sass version and watchers. And additional to included SASS version it allows to use your own SASS version if installed to your system or locally to your project. So there is no/less dependency on updates by the maintainer.
'Live Sass Compiler' runs out of the box with included sass version. As it is a very popular extension in VS Code there is a special advantage: it seems it keeps your settings in the old projects running.
I think both are good solutions.

Cannot get Cordova project building in VS2015 with the facebook connect plugin

I've tried everything, but cannot seem to get it working. I've done the following:
1.Remove the plugins with the variables via the config designer.
2.Update to Cordova 5.0.0 via the config designer (Platforms > Cordova CLI)
3.From the command line: 1.Go to your project directory.
2.Type the following substituting the plugin name for the plugin you wish to add:
3.npm install -g cordova
4.cordova plugin add nl.x-services.plugins.launchmyapp --variable URL_SCHEME=myscheme
But I still cannot build. Here is the detailed output from MSBUILD :
http://pastebin.com/7enSzCxs
And a highlight of some of the errors I'm getting

Any ideas at all? Using a fresh install of VS2015 with the tools for cordova, trying to build for android.
EDIT:
So after taking the advice of Kamil Pajdzik below, I used build.bat to compile it and found some issues with my path being waaay to long. I mapped a drive to cut down the length and it will now build AOK from the build.bat.
Still no dice in Visual studio though (I assume this is difference between build.bat using gradle and vs using ant).
My only error now is :
1> -code-gen:
1> [mergemanifest] Merging AndroidManifest files into one.
1> [mergemanifest] Manifest merger disabled. Using project manifest only.

Okay, this appears to be the issue. There are two problems. The first is a max path size issue on Windows. The issue is that it the plugin uses part of the the app's ID to create a folder, and VS by default uses a random identifier that is fairly long so this exacerbates the issue.
To resolve:
Update the ID for your project to something short (com.myproject.short)
Move the project to the root of your drive
Go to the project folder and re-add the android platform. From the command line:
cordova platform remove android
cordova platform add android
The second issue that then remains is an "Ant" build seems to be missing a folder which likely is a bug. If you add the "ant-build" folder in the location it complains about the build succeeds.
Also - Be sure plugins/fetch.json is included in your checkins since this is where your plugin variables are stored. If that file is deleted, you'll need to remove and re-add the plugin again. From your update it sounds like either VS is still set to use Cordova 4.3.0 and/or plugins/fetch.json does not contain your plugin variables. You should see something like this if the plugin was added using Cordova 5.0.0:
{
"com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect": {
"source": {
"type": "registry",
"id": "com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect"
},
"is_top_level": true,
"variables": {
"APP_ID": "123",
"APP_NAME": "nbaer"
}
}
}
The "variables" section is what may be missing.
Try running F:\GIT\CordovaFb\BlankCordovaApp1\fbtest\platforms\android\cordova\build.bat from a command line. It usually gives more information.
Cordova 5.0.0 requires Android SDK in version 22. You can check if you have that installed via SDK manager.
This particular plugin appears to have some challenges with Cordova 5.0.0. Android underwent significant changes in this release that may be causing issues.
https://github.com/Wizcorp/phonegap-facebook-plugin/issues/1010
I am seeing failures if you build either with Ant or Gradle using a pure Cordova command line interface project. Likely a plugin fix is required to resolve the issue. I reccomend adding comments to this defect to help the plugin author resolve the issue.
So thanks to Chucks help, I managed to get a build working. It was indeed a combination of path length exceeding 260 characters (which I solved by mapping my solution directory to a drive) and a couple of folders not being created.
They were in my case :
F:\Git\CordovaFb\FBTest\platforms\android\com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect\myapp7a29c6c80cee4b2aa0dc8a70dc57527d-FacebookLib\bin\classes
and
F:\Git\CordovaFb\FBTest\platforms\android\com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect\myapp7a29c6c80cee4b2aa0dc8a70dc57527d-FacebookLib\ant-build
I seem to have to manually recreate these from time to time as they get deleted on some builds...
So the full process is as follows (for others who have the same issue)
1) Create your solution in as short a path as possible (map a drive if you need to)
2) Add your cordova project to the solution, double click config.xml, goto platforms and change the CLI version to 5.0.0
3) Fire up a command prompt in the solutions root
4) Type the following cordova plugin add https://github.com/Wizcorp/phonegap-facebook-plugin.git --variable APP_ID="00000000" --variable APP_NAME="My App"
5) When its done you'll have the plugin in the plugins dir and the fetch.json file should contain the variables you entered for appid and appname
6) Do a full build and you'll get some errors (Exit code 8)
7) Manually create the following :
[Solution Route]\platforms\android\com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect\myapp7a29c6c80cee4b2aa0dc8a70dc57527d-FacebookLib\bin\classes`
and
[Solution Route]\platforms\android\com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect\myapp7a29c6c80cee4b2aa0dc8a70dc57527d-FacebookLib\bin\classes`
8) Your build should succeed! Check periodically if those paths still exist.
This should get you by until the next release of the cordova tools for VS (if they fix it)
platforms\android\AndroidManifest.xml
just change android:minSdkVersion="14" to android:minSdkVersion="15"

How can I get Compass to work in Visual Studio via NuGet?

My developer friend who has the luxury of developing in a non-Windows environment has been raving about Compass. I finally decided I wanted to give it a try. I'm tired of trying to keep up with all of the intricacies of cross-browser CSS.
So, I found it on NuGet, and installed it.
I installs to my solutions root directory in the packages directory:
$(SolutionDir)packages\Ruby.Compass.0.12.2.3\
It comes with a Readme that states the following message:
Ruby Compass v. 0.12.2
Compass is installed in its own NuGet package dir, and available by
'compass' command in "packages\Ruby.Compass.0.12.2.3" folder.
To compile Compass files during build, add the next line to the
project pre-build events:
"$(SolutionDir)packages\Ruby.Compass.0.12.2.3\compass" compile
"$(ProjectDir)."
So, I placed the line in my pre-build events, saved, and tried to build my project. However, I get an error as follows:
The command
""$(SolutionDir)packages\Ruby.Compass.0.12.2.3\compass" compile "$(ProjectDir)."" exited with code 1.
Notice: It actually shows the full path to the ProjectDir and SolutionDir as it's supposed too in the error message. I replaced them with the tokens to keep the project name unanimous.
Let me mention that I tried variations of the suggestion pre-build line:
"$(SolutionDir)packages\Ruby.Compass.0.12.2.3\compass" compile "$(ProjectDir)"
"$(SolutionDir)packages\Ruby.Compass.0.12.2.3\compass" compile "$(ProjectDir)css"
"$(SolutionDir)packages\Ruby.Compass.0.12.2.3\compass" compile "$(ProjectDir)css\test.scss"
The first one just removed that trailing .. The second one pointed it to the directory where all my css files are stored. The third one pointed it to the exact file I was trying to compile was located.
I opened up compass.cmd which is the file it is calling, and it looks like the following:
#echo off
"%~dp0ruby\bin\compass" %*
I'm assuming this calls the compass file in the ruby/bin folder, which looks like this:
#!C:/downloads/ruby-2.0.0-p247-x64-mingw32/ruby-2.0.0-p247-x64-mingw32/bin/ruby.exe
#
# This file was generated by RubyGems.
#
# The application 'compass' is installed as part of a gem, and
# this file is here to facilitate running it.
#
require 'rubygems'
version = ">= 0"
if ARGV.first
str = ARGV.first
str = str.dup.force_encoding("BINARY") if str.respond_to? :force_encoding
if str =~ /\A_(.*)_\z/
version = $1
ARGV.shift
end
end
gem 'compass', version
load Gem.bin_path('compass', 'compass', version)
From there, I'm not sure what is going on. I'm not a Ruby person.
Is there an issue that I'm overlooking here?
Has anyone else been able to install Ruby.Compass via NuGet?
How can I get this working in Visual Studio without having to fight with Ruby?
