Not working Visual Studio 2022 17.2.2

[izzyreal]

Versions

• Git Diff Margin version: 3.12.1
• Visual Studio version: 17.2.2

What happened

Installing the extension only makes the margin a bit wider. Other than that, I don't see that the extension is doing anything. Since this is the first time using the extension, I'm not entirely sure if I need to perform some special action in order to see something that the extension is doing.

I've added the toolbar, but all of its buttons are greyed out.

Things I've tried:

• Wait for background tasks to complete
• Update Visual Studio to 2022 17.2.2 (not sure what version I was on, but it was in the 2022 range)
• Set the theme to Blue (it was on Dark)
• Select some code
• Disable/Enable the extension without restarting VS
• Disable the extension, restart, Enable, restart and check again
• Remove and reinstall the extension

In no case do I see anything that isn't there without the extension, except for a wider margin when the extension is installed and active.

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Unsure how to reproduce it on other systems. All I did was install the extension on VS2022. I have not seen it work and this is the first time I've tried this extension.

Expected behavior

Additional stuff besides the wider margin.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do to assist in troubleshooting.

Visual Studio 17.2.6 - Same thing.

[ITSharkz]

17.4.2 - the same

[Mac-Olo]

Mine's doing nothing as well in 17.5.4. I fear that this is abandoned, as the last release was back in 2021.

[TomMcKeown80]

Nothing showing with 17.6.7

[pukguy]

17.6.8 - the same

[CaCTuCaTu4ECKuu]

17.9.0 - nothing
It's very strange how CodeLense is missing from VS community but working in free VS Code. Are they doing smth to prevent this from working in IDE? That so lame and stupid

Can one of you submit a feedback ticket (Report a Problem in Visual Studio) for this, and include a recording (using the feedback tool) of what happens when you open the IDE and then open a file which is expected to show changes? You can mention me in the feedback to help the triage team get it over to me.
