Monodevelop.aspnet v5.7 missing


I recently took two actions and no longer have a stable Monodevelop environment.

  1. Upgraded to 5.7 from the monodevelop repository
  2. Installed Entity Framework via Nuget

As soon as I installed EF6, I started experiencing instability in my application. I decided to remove the package, and Monodevelop crashed. Upon reboot, I've lost the ability to open my ASP.Net project.

When I go to load my project, it has a yellow warning icon over and states:

The ASP.NET plug is not installed

When I go to addins, I get an error message stating that MonoSoftDebugger for ASP.NET cannot be installed because MonoDevelop.Aspnet v5.7 is not available.

I did attempt to purge my whole mono setup and reinstall, but no differences. I have also tried loading other ASP.Net Projects, all are experiencing the same issue.

Extra Details

OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

install method: apt-get install monodevelop
respository: deb http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian wheezy main

Solution

  • I've pushed a workaround to this to the Debian repository (RPM will take another hour maybe).

    The workaround should get the addin working with basic ASP.NEt and MVC1-3, but is missing support for MVC4 which is in the Windows/Mac Xamarin Studio. This was also the case with 5.5, so it shouldn't affect you in this instance.
