Started hitting a NullReferenceException when I open my project after installing the latest VA this morning. From the ActivityLog.xml:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at WholeTomato.VaCodeInspections.QuickActions.e.d(TextExtent& A_0)
at WholeTomato.VaCodeInspections.QuickActions.e.e()

at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task task)
at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.Utilities.GuardedOperations.<CallExtensionPointAsync>d__41`1.MoveNext()

Version info:
VA_X64.dll file version 10.9.2556.0 built 2025.04.07
DevEnv.exe version 17.13.35931.197 Enterprise

Thank you for the details. Was this a one off problem, or is it happening every time? I am not quite sure which would be more worrying, but at least if it keeps on happening, it will be easier to study.

Are you able to keep on using the IDE, or did the exception lead to a crash?

We have had a couple of reports of exceptions, but so far no clues as to the trigger, and nothing that I have been able to reproduce here, so if this is an ongoing problem it may not be just you, in case that offers any comfort.
