MonoDevelop 2.2 beta 2 “No File Name Provided” When Launching in External Console

Question

When I try to run my Mono C# programs in MonoDevelop on an external console, I get the following error.

It runs on windows's regular "cmd" console when I debug with input working as well.

I've tested an older version of mono and this feature worked. (Note I get this error on both Windoows Vista, Windows 7, and Mac OS X).

Any ideas on how to give it that "filename"? I thought maybe beta 2 would fix this but I guess not. :P

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure that MonoDevelop uses xterm & bash for the "external console", which won't work on Windows, and might have problems on Mac. It needs to be abstracted out to use native consoles for these different platforms.
