Updated Xamarin Studio Plugin for 4.0.5 and higher.

The plugin can be found here..

This works in 4.0.5 - 4.0.8.   Problems with policy conflicts with the CSharp plugin have been resolved.

Use the "Install from file.." in the addins panel to install.

This version works for me, even on that machine which constantly had issues previously.

[Ben Cooley]

Yep.   IT definitely was a conflict with the C# plugin's NamingPolicy.  Now that both policy's are int their own namespace, no more trouble.   I think we should be able to active the Add-In manager version pretty soon now that that issue is resolved.

I do also want go go a bit deeper on the completion service, as the completions for parameters not working right really annoys me.

This file seems to conflict with MonoGame, if you have that already installed. I had to remove MonoGame to get this to install without error. (I believe it was sdl.dll and a couple of others)

I've tried to install that mpack on two different macs, and I must be missing a step, because I keep getting the same error in all my playscript or as files: "Unexpected symbol "package"" amongst others. I assume it's trying to compile the files as c#, and then choking on the non-c# code. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? These are my steps:

1. Install Xamarin Studio
2. Install the PlayScriptBinding-4.0.5.mpack

I have a feeling I'm missing something kind of obvious, but I can't see it. :-)

Kevin,

Check that you are setting Build action to Compile for your AS3/Playscript files. This is not set by default yet (if I am not mistaken; But I remember there are plans to fix this in the future).

[Kevin Newman]

If I right click on .play files I can see they are set to Build Action -> Compile, is that what you mean?

I think the problem I'm having is that they are just getting thrown at the C# compiler/parser instead of the playscript/as3 compiler/parser. It gives me compile errors about the package keyword (amongst others).

Yes. I can not tell you for sure whether this is the reason of your issue. This was just my first guess. Anyway, be sure to set all your AS3/Play files to have Build Action = Compile.

[Ben Cooley]

If you haven't set your framework to the PlayScript framework, you'll get those problems.  I usually have to exit the IDE and then re-start it to make sure it's switched.

I'm getting the attached error when installing the add-in.

[Kevin Newman]

I never got that specific error, but I did get a different error caused by a conflict with another plugin. In my case it was MonoGame, and uninstalling that resolved the problem.

It could also be a compatibility issue with Xamarin's recent move to Mono 3.x (I haven't tested yet).

We've just noticed that the plugin needs to be updated for 4.0.11.   I'll be doing that in the next day or two. 

Quite a bit easier to get all of this work done now that we are all full time on PlayScript.

[Ben Cooley]

Might be that you've updated to 4.0.11.  It seems something has been broken since our update to 4.0.10. 

[Edward Silverton]

I've got 4.0.10 (build 4)

[Ben Cooley]

Latest plugin is now updated to 4.0.12.
