CodeLens not showing references

Question

CodeLens stopped working for some reason in project solution that I'm dealing nowadays. It is not showing references instead "- references". However, when I open up Visual Studio with another project It works like charm.I can confirm that CodeLens is enabled. Do you have any idea to make it work?

Answer 1

My Solution:

Toggle the CodeLens feature off and then on again.

• Go into Tools -> Options... -> Text Editor -> All Languages -> CodeLens.
• Uncheck "Enable CodeLens" option and click OK.
• Go back into Tools -> Options... -> Text Editor -> All Languages -> CodeLens.
• Check the "Enable CodeLens" option and click OK.

Note: I've fixed the issue once before by closing the problem .cs file and then reopening it. Closing any referenced files may also be required.

My Problem(s):

Similar to the original poster, CodeLens stopped refreshing references after I made a bunch of refactors. I was seeing stale references to code that didn't exist and I was also seeing the "- references" issue as described in the original post.

My Environment & Specific Scenario:

• Visual Studio 2015 with Service Pack 2 and Resharper Ultimate 10.0.1
• I was doing a major overhaul with a ton of refactoring and my project wasn't compilable for an hour or so. Once I could compile the project again, the references weren't working.

Answer 2

Same problem here.
CodeLens works normally with small solutions, but not working with large ones.
And this behavior is accompanied with crash of Alm.Shared.Remoting.RemoteContainer.dll process.
Tried in VS 2013 Update 4 and VS 2013 Update 5 RC.
Solution:
Close all programs and clean %LocalAppData%\Temp folder (or maybe just ALM folder inside it).
