Discussion for: Packages containing tools are being renamed

What exactly razor tools does? and when/why I could need it?

[natemcmaster]

https://github.com/aspnet/RazorTooling is part of what provides the IntelliSense for Razor files (*.cshtml) in Visual Studio.

[Bartmax]

is this a visual studio only thing? shouldn't be part of visual studio instead of some tool package? Even if it's not only for VS, I don't see how an IDE feature has a place on project.json

About the announcement: A table would be more readable than an list (at least on mobile)

otnet-razor-tooling? 😜

[mikes-gh]

@natemcmaster @Bartmax
I think dotnet-razor-tooling is for Razor intellisense for TagHelpers to be precise.

@NTaylorMullen

FYI: dotnet-razor-tooling is only for TagHelper IntelliSense.

It would be good to clarify that on readme.md for razor tooling

Its also a bit behind on this rename and currently broken on ci build.

[moozzyk]

The table contains status of the rename. dotnet-razor-tooling and dotnet-aspnet-codegenerator renames are still in progress.

[MaximRouiller]

@moozzyk I was more highlighting the typo. 😃

[moozzyk]

@MaximRouiller - I commented on @mikes-gh response and fixed the typo you pointed out to.

[mikes-gh]

@moozzyk sorry saw that now hidden on iPad layout. I guess tables aren't responsive on github

I got this error

tools must specify a version range

for this

"tools": {
  "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools": {
    "version": "1.0.0-*",
    "imports": "portable-net451+win8"
  }
},
"dependencies": {
  "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools": {
    "version": "1.0.0-*",
    "type": "build"
  }
}

@dodyg - haven't seen this. Can you provide more context? When/Where does this error happen? Is it during restore? Also what version of dotnet are you using?

[dodyg]

Year it was during dotnet restore. The problem goes away now. I don't really know what happened.

I am using

.NET Command Line Tools (1.0.0-rc2-002498)

Product Information:
 Version:     1.0.0-rc2-002498

This https://github.com/NuGet/NuGet.Client/blob/d74b04c1bdd3a6bb14b0ba6edd319e9c839c6eae/test/NuGet.Core.Tests/NuGet.ProjectModel.Test/PackageSpecReaderTests.cs#L203-L212 tells me that you in your project.json the tool did not have version. It wouldn't get away on its own though. If you see this again show your project.json file and I will try to repro.
