Roslyn: VS 2017 RC: "View Directed Syntax Graph" does not appear when right-clicking a node in the Syntax Visualizer

[jamesqo]

Version Used: 1.3.0.60420 (latest from https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=VisualStudioProductTeam.NETCompilerPlatformSDK)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download Visual Studio 2017 RC
2. Install the .NET Compiler Platform SDK from the link above
3. Open any C# project
4. Open the Syntax Visualizer and right click one of the syntax elements

Expected Behavior: There should be a "View Directed Syntax Graph" option at the top of the menu.

Actual Behavior: There is an empty section there instead.

Is this a known issue? I'm just getting started with Roslyn, so I'm not sure if I've done anything wrong. Thanks!

Moving to SDK and Samples.

I suspect that this might be because your VS install doesn't include the diagramming components necessary to support that option.

@jmarolf - what do you think?

@Pilchie thats my guess but I'll take a look

Confirmed that using the installer's "Individual Features" and selecting the "Code Map" option enables this feature again.

Issue moved to dotnet/roslyn-sdk #65 via ZenHub

Just as a note, there is no longer a Code Map option under Code Tools. This functionality is available by installing DGML Editor.
