WinRT: Windows 8.1 SafeFireAndForget issue "No overload for method"

Hello,

I noticed an error on my WinRT project (Windows 8.1) using your package. I can’t use the SafeFireAndForget extension method because I have this message : No overload for method 'SafeFireAndForget' takes 1 arguments

Do you have more information about this problem?

Thanks

Nuget package version : 4.1.0

Microsoft Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 Version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3 Microsoft .NET Framework Version 4.8.03752

The fix is now available in v4.1.1-pre1 🎉

@JeromeGsq When you get a chance, can you try out v4.1.1-pre1 and confirm it works for you?

NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/AsyncAwaitBestPractices/4.1.1-pre1 GitHub Release: https://github.com/brminnick/AsyncAwaitBestPractices/releases/tag/v4.1.1-pre1

void FixedIn411Pre1()
{
    Run().SafeFireAndForget(ex => Debug.WriteLine(ex));
}

async Task Run()
{
    await Task.Delay(2000);
}

Looks like Visual Studio 2015 requires you to create a variable for ref arguments.

Here’s a workaround:

void Workaround()
{
    Action<Exception> handleException = ex => Debug.WriteLine(ex);
    bool continueOnCapturedContext = false;

    Run().SafeFireAndForget<Exception>(ref handleException, ref continueOnCapturedContext);
}

async Task Run()
{
    await Task.Delay(2000);
}
