Power Tools: Context menu commands not working in project under solution folder

description

None of the actions from the file context menu is working when the project is under a solution folder. A message box saying “Sequence contains no matching element” is displayed, no exception is written to the output window. It was not an issue with the CTP 1.

Still the same error with EF Power Tools Beta 3 and VS 2012 Update 1

Moving back to Active as we have seen reports of this in Beta 3 of the Power Tools.

@Dennis_Wanke - Any chance you could provide a solution that re-produces the issue? We haven't been able to get the error to occur with Beta 3.

@RoMiller: actually, there is nothing special about the solution to reproduce it. Just make a class derived from DbContext and put its containing project under any solution folder. Then right-click the CLASS FILE and try out any command from Entity Framework sub-menu (e.g. “View Model …”). For me, it doesn’t work. Than take the project off from the solution folder and it works just fine.
Just in case, I made the solution for you – please find it in the attachment.

Thanks @RoMiller. Also I am using Visual Studio 2012 11.0.051106.01 Update 1.

Fyi. I just updated to VS 2012 Update 2 and no difference.

Simple workaround: Create a new solution and ADD the EXISTING EntityFramwork-based project to the solution. You can now do all the Power-tools magic and any changes you do to the classes will obviously reflect in the original solution.
