Tooltips not being generated in VS2017/FSI v4.1

[aaron-comyn]

It appears that tooltips are not being generated when VS2017 & FSI 4.1 is used to generate documentation. The generated website contains a <div class="span1"></div> instead of the normal set of <div class="tip" id="fs1"... tags.

I have not tested this with FAKE or any other task runner.

Steps to reproduce:

Run processScriptAsHtml () in FSharp.Formatting\literate\build.fsx on in VS 2017 (F# Interactive version 4.1). Run the same function from the same script in VS 2015 (F# Interactive version 14.0.23413.0).
The resulting FSharp.Formatting\literate\output\demo-script.html will differ.

Happy workaround:

Run the same function from the same script in VS 2015 :)

Minor side note:

build.fsx calls #load "../../src/FSharp.Formatting.fsx" from projectscaffold, instead of the relative path to the packages script (../FSharp.Formatting.fsx) . [I woulda sent a PR if it weren't for the impact across projects...]

LOVE this library!

Confirmed. Same with a run from FAKE or a manual run from FSI 4.1. Somehow using FSI 4.1 breaks FSharp.Formatting.

Very likely just needs a package update as in #441. The FSharp.Compiler.Service used is locked to 2.0.0.8 which is ancient.

Is this still the case when using the beta of the library?

[kurtschelfthout]

@wallymathieu Probably. This project is essentially dead. Last release (the beta) was in 2016 according to NuGet.

@kurtschelfthout Not that I'm aware of. Latest releases are on AppVeyor, use source https://ci.appveyor.com/nuget/fsharp-formatting in your paket.dependencies

[kurtschelfthout]

I finally updated to the latest release on the appveyor feed and can confirm that fixes the issue.

I'm closing the issue @kurtschelfthout 😄
