Is MvcScaffolding compatible with VS 2013 RC by command line?

Question

At NuGet when I try to install MvcScaffolding, by typing:

Install-Package MvcScaffolding 

I am getting this error

Set-DefaultScaffolder : Cannot get an instance of EnvDTE.DTE

Is it happening because of this new scaffolding engine in Visual Studio 2013 ?

Answer 1

I emailed Scott Hanselman about this a few weeks back. Here's his response:

We've found out what's up and we are going to release a fixed version, although we're taking Scaffolding in a new direction with VS2013 we still want this to work. Thanks for finding this bug.

So I'd keep eyes peeled for a new release of MvcScaffold that will hopefully resolve this. In the mean time, there are new features for VS2013 that take scaffolding in a much-improved direction, so you may want to investigate those.

Edit: There's a new package available (make sure to run VS2013 as admin to get it to work):

Install-Package MvcScaffolding -Version 1.0.8-vs2013 -Pre

Answer 2

I came across this same bug in VS2015. I pulled the source, fixed the bugs, and uploaded new NuGet packages with linked dependencies. The 3 new packages are:

• MvcScaffolding.VS2015
• T4Scaffolding.VS2015
• T4Scaffolding.Core.VS2015

If you simply install the MvcScaffolding package, the other packages will be pulled through. Hope this helps someone else. Cheers.
