Extremely slow build with unchanged projects (v3.0.2.2 compared to v3.0.0)

[stevoma]

Visual Studio 2015 SP3, BuildVersion 3.0.2.2
With BuildVersion 3.0.2.2, the build process of projects that have not been changed and therefore do not need to be compiled is very slow. This cannot be used with approx. 300 projects in the solution (it takes approx. 12 minutes).
In version 3.0.0 this is fine (approx. 30 seconds).

Hi there,

a Preview of version 4.x is available in the VSIX Gallery feed. You can follow along with the installation instructions from the README https://github.com/StefanKert/BuildVision?tab=readme-ov-file#setup-visual-studio-for-preview-channel. Would love to hear if this fixes the issues you are facing. As soon as the issues that people are currently seeing are resolved there will be a official marketplace release.

Thanks :)

Hi Stefan, if I try to install v4.0.0.7 I get the error “This extension is not supported on the current product”. I have MS Visual Studio 2015.

Hi @stevoma ,

thanks for getting back. The current version 4.0.0 does not support 2015 since it is not really possible to stay backwards compatible and also make it work with 2022 :/

Visual Studio 2022, 17.10.5; BuildVision 4.0.0.10

I just realised that BuildVision is extremely slowing down my builds. If the extension window is opened, my cpu load only shows at 20% and builds take very long. When hiding the extension window during a build, cpu load instantly raises to 100% and build is drastically faster.

@redstripes89 Thanks for the hint, these settings helped so much:
State on build begin: Close Window
State on build success: Show Window
State on build error: Show Window

@stevoma Thanks, I didn't realize that there are settings to configure this.
However, since I tried this extension as a replacement for ReSharpers Build &/ Run to see the progress of the build, closing the window on build begin would not make much sense.
So as long as this extensions slows down the build so much, I'm afraid I cannot use it.
