Not working in VS2017 (15.8.0) about betterstartpage HOT 9 CLOSED

You're right. In the latest updates Microsoft again made changes to their internal models. I will work on it as soon as possible.

It's really terrible that the internal models change that often. Maybe I will find a better way of creating them.

Problem solved. I was able to find a better system to create the original start page than calling tons of internal functions. This solution should be now more future proof. Version 1.18 is available on the Marketplace.

Not working as of VS2017 15.8.0. Getting the same empty page as willemodendaal.

I'm seeing the same thing as @silkfire -- BSP was working fine in 15.7.x as of this morning. Upgraded to 15.8 just a short while ago and I'm getting the blank start page that @willemodendaal initially described.

Any reason why you still use 15.5.4? I recommend upgrading VS to the latest version.

same here.
Thank you for your job. Great extension!

I guess due to the changes, VS 15.7.x is no longer supported? I just get a blank page.

I'm not yet upgrading due to a bug in 15.8.x that breaks unit test running.

It's not possible for me to test on all versions for me as also I am only running on one version.

If you could check the ActivityLog for errors maybe we can find out what's happening. With my latest changes that should be more future proof I did not check if it works for older versions.

There are no errors or warnings in the ActivityLog, the only entries are:

No worries though, I'll just wait for the bug fix by Microsoft and then upgrade to the latest version.
