Sitecore TDS Code generation Error

I am trying to generate code from TDS code Generation by following GlassTutorial24 TDS version: 5.1.0.3, visual studio 2012.

The generated class only has "ErrorGeneratingOutput".

My project properties as below: TDS Project Properties

Edit 1:

Error while building:

Error 1 Compiling transformation: Metadata file 'HedgehogDevelopment.CodeGeneration.Extensions.dll' could not be found xxx.TDS.Master\Code Generation Templates\glassv3header.tt

Error 2 Compiling transformation: Invalid token 'this' in class, struct, or interface member declaration xxx.TDS.Master\Code Generation Templates\GlassV3Item.tt

Error 3 Compiling transformation: Method must have a return type xxx.TDS.Master\Code Generation Templates\GlassV3Item.tt

Error 4 Compiling transformation: Type expected xxx.TDS.Master\Code Generation Templates\GlassV3Item.tt

Solution

  • Unfortunately the tutorial was out of date and need to be updated to the new code generation templates.

    You need to use the files from Hedgehogs Repository: https://github.com/HedgehogDevelopment/tds-codegen/tree/master/Sitecore.Master/Code%20Generation%20Templates

    You also need the following files:

    • Helpers.tt
    • GlassV3Header.tt
    • GlassV3Item.tt
    • GeneralExtensions.tt
    • Inflector.tt
    • StringExtensions.tt

    The tutorial has now been updated as well:
