Details

Description:

Monodevelop opens and lets the user create a project but the IDE will not let you run a console application. It will always crash with this error:

"System.InvalidOperationException: File name has not been set"

Installing xterm immediately solves the problem upon restart of the application.


Steps to reproduce:

1) Install monodevelop
2) Create a C# Console Application with default options
3) Build and Run
This task depends upon

That's strange, if I start a console application monodevelop will start it in the gnome-terminal.
I have test your request, I can reproduce it, if I use monodevelop not under GNOME. That's really strange, I will ask the developers why monodevelop doesn't start the terminal which is set in the environment variables.

thanks for the help and the quick response! :)

I didn't know that the desktop environment I was running Monodevelop in would make a difference or I would have listed that I used KDE4. I just assumed that the output would be shown from within the application.

It would probably be better to report this upstream.

This is a environment configuration issue. Not sure if a dependency is needed. you can use gnome-conf tool to change the default terminal emulator that is invoked. Since Monodevelop is a GTK app, I think it uses the Gnome's environment settings. I think xterm is the default entry there.

Yep. It's xterm alright. I was pulling my hair trying to dig out the cause of a formerly running project suddenly refusing to run in the external terminal.
Of course, cleaning out unused stuff the other day, I had removed xterm.
It would be great to know what evn needs to be set or have xterm as a depends of the debug package.

I will close this bug, because this has nothing really to do with monodevelop.
