The Hot Design button does not appear

Current behavior

I installed and configured Hot Design to test it. However, I seem to have encountered a small issue with the license. While I’m logged in, the functionality does not appear to be enabled.

Sorry for the limited details. It’s been a while since I last reported a bug.

@spouliot @jeromelaban Looks like the dev-server is up and running, but the app is not able to connect back.

@brunopacola some follow-up questions:

1. The screenshots shows maccatalyst as the target platform but the DebugConsole.txt logs shows it's net8.0-desktop. Is the issue happening for both maccatalyst and net8.0-desktop? If so, could you provide the logs for both the maccatalyst scenario and the net8.0-desktop scenario?

2. Also, was the app in those screenshots launched with the Debugger attached (using F5) or without it (using CTRL+F5)?

Hi @kazo0 ,

Since I couldn’t remember, I decided to redo all the steps from scratch with a new project. Attached, you’ll find the logs, and below is the link to the step-by-step video:

Thank you a lot @brunopacola for the details!

By looking at your video, at the bottom of VS Code I am noticing the .sln is still selected by default.

Can you give it a try by selecting the .csproj of the project instead as mentioned in our documentation when using VS Code, please?
(Keeping the .sln selected by default will not make the dev-server start)
