When I try to search for text within the solution or a number of files using monodevelop it takes forever, infact I'm pretty sure the thing hangs as I've never seen a single result. Is this feature supposed to work (in v2.4.2)??
Its worth noting I get a an error when hitting 'tip of the day' too whic would indicate that my monodevelop isnt working as it should be. How can update monodevelop or fix these problems?
Hi guys, same problem for me with the find in files feature (whatever the find/scope/file mask I choose): it runs forever and eventually freezes/crashes the editor :(
As a result, it will never show me any result at all and most of the time I'll have to interrupt + restart the editor...
I was having that same problem on specific searches (for instance class names of my solution). I’m pretty sure the problem came from the fact that MonoDevelop sees all my serialized XML files in the Assets Folders. I have a bunch of very large XML files who may contain hundreds of occurences of certain words.
This led me to add a File Mask in the Find In Files dialog. That way MonoDevelop only searches the *.js or *.cs files of the solutions.
Fixed all my crash triggering keyword searches so far !
