Solution-level MGCB not found

[j0of]

Hi there,
I am currently trying to access the MGCB through the plugin. I have set up my project in such a way that the sln is in a separate directory to the csproj, and this is preventing me from being able to open the MGCB whilst I am working in the solution. In my Rider settings, going to Tools > MonoGame > MGCB shows:

• Global tools mgcb-editor: Not Found
• Solution-level tools mgcb-editor: Not Found
• Project-level tools {ProjectName}: dotnet-mgcb-editor-windows: 3.8.1.303
  I am able to fix this by editing the project through the .csproj instead of the .sln, but I prefer to use the .sln because it's where the git repo is. Is there a workaround for this?
  I have also considered using the global MGCB tool, but the website advises against this.
  Thank you!

Hi @j0of, could you please share an example project with the same solution layout you have issues with?

Sure thing!

{ProjectName}\
├───{ProjectName}.sln
├───.idea\
├───.git\
├───.gitignore
└───{ProjectName}\
    ├───.config\
    ├───bin\
    ├───Content\
    ├───obj\
    ├───{ProjectName}.csproj
    └───Program.cs

So if I understand correctly you want to use project-level tools when working with the project inside solution? It should work, so this is a bug. Will take a look a but later
