Error When adding a new folder to a Proj node in the Solution Explorer
USMember ✭
- Right click on the proj node
- Add a folder, it generates an error but the folder is added as 'New Folder'
- Right click or 'F2' key to change the folder name
- After typing the new name, hit the 'Enter' key and a dialog box pops up with the the following error:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

- the problem is that it does NOT change the folder name so I'm stuck!
Help please!

Heya! Can you please tell me what version of XS you're using?
Also, is it Windows or Mac?
Edit: Nevermind, F2 is Windows-only.

Okay, we got this cleared. Is the checked out repository on a different machine or on the local file system? In short, is the absolute path ofthe repository a network path or a local path? I'm trying to nail down the reason why filesystem operations could not resolve the path itself, since I've been unable to reproduce this specific issue on my machine.
I've fixed the error you had on creating a directory though.
It is the absolute path of the repo on another machine on my local network.
Thanks for looking into this issue and fixing it quickly. I'm a business edition subscriber, how do I get this fix?
The first fix will land in a hotfix release.
The fix with repositories on another machine is something that requires me to setup a similar environment to be able to test locally. I'll track this on my radar here:
