Installation of AnkhSVN Visual Studio 2019

Question

I can not Install AnkhSVN -Subversion Support for Visual Studio 2019,

I have tried to Install It, It says Version is Invalid for VS2019

I use VS2019 Professional

Answer 1

I have made a fork of the AnkhSVN project and published a version on Visual Studio Marketplace as AnkhSVN2019.

This version targets only Visual Studio 2019.

The page on the Visual Studio Marketplace is here:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=PhilJollans.AnkhSVN2019

You can also find it by searching the Visual Studio Marketplace in Visual Studio.

The project is on GitHub here:
https://github.com/PhilJollans/AnkhSVN2019

As far as I can tell it is working correctly, but that is based on a small number of systems, and I only use a subset of the features.

Support for Visual Studio 2022

My fork of AnkhSVN does not support Visual Studio 2022, but there is a version in the GitHub repository from the original developers of AnkhSVN.

As of 4-December-2021, this version is not available in the Visual Studio Marketplace, but you can download the package from the releases page on GitHub.

As of 4-December-2021, the download link for the current version is
https://github.com/AmpScm/AnkhSVN/releases/download/v2.9.87/Ankh-VSIX-2022.zip,
but there may now be a newer version.

Answer 2

The latest AnkhSVN version is not compatible with Visual Studio 2019 (and the project, unfortunately, seems dead).

A possible solution is to edit manually the files stored in the vsix file (it's a zip file with a different extension).

The file to edit are:

• extension.vsixmanifest
  Change the occurance of [15.0,16.0) to [15.0,17.0)
  Change the prerequisite in this way:
  <Prerequisite Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor" Version="[15.0,)" DisplayName="Visual Studio core editor" />

• catalog.json
  search Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor and change the version to "[15.0,)"

• manifest.json
  search Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.CoreEditor and change the version to "[15.0,)" as the catalog.json

After these changes it's possible to install the extension in VS2019 but still open a warning shown by VS related an incompatibility of the load process (AnkhSVN use a synchronous load, VS2019 want an async load).
