Settings - Feature Advisor is not turned off if it is enabled in other options layers

created 4 years ago

I've tried disabling the Feature Advisor several times in Code Rush 20.2.6 and it fails to persist my changes.

Reproduction steps for me are:

  1. Click the feature advisor notification icon in the bottom right of Visual Studio 2018.
  2. Click Disable Advisor
  3. Notifications Disappear but the advisor is still on if you go into the gear icon to view the settings.
  4. Uncheck Enable Feature Advisor in the settings and click Apply
  5. Click OK to close the settings
  6. Click on the gear to go back into settings and Feature Advisor is turned on yet again.

How do I get the settings to persist?

    Hi Agon,

    Thank you for your report.
    I reproduced this behavior locally. We will research it and see if we can fix it.
    I recommend you open the CodeRush\Options Layers… menu item and turn off the Feature Advisor for each options layer.

    It looks like the issue occurs because of a conflict between the Feature Advisor settings and CodeRush options layers.

    I look forward to your reply.

        I've got the same problem with CR 21.2.5.

        The Feature Advisor is disabled:
