Auto-formatting broken in VS2017, wtf?
-
So just recently, my copy of VS2017 Community has started acting strange. The most noticeable issue is the auto-indenting of brackets.
Old behavior: When I typed
public class Identifier {}and hit enter, it would nicely align the brackets:
public class Identifier { }at the right level of indentation (however deep or shallow).
Now, what I'm seeing is
public class Identifier { }with the end bracket at line position 0 (regardless of indentation) and the start bracket one indent level deeper. Any clues?
It also seems that Intellisense has gone zombie on me (marking spurious errors (as in claiming there's something in a blank line) and not giving the right suggestions). It's still giving something, just lobotomized.
Edit: This seems to only affect that solution. Other solutions are not affected.

@benjamin-hall have you already tried deleting the intellisense database file and/or the
.vshidden folder?

@benjamin-hall It should be in the root directory of your project/solution. Just exit Visual Studio, delete it, and then reopen.

Hmm, I just may have fixed it--it seems that VS was opening the folder, not the solution. Opening the solution seems to have fixed things.
Why it thought opening the folder was the right thing to do...I'll never know.

I blame those ASP.NET Core hippies.

@masonwheeler Does this count as Marxist propaganda?
