I've started to learn c# recently and I really like the Jetbrains IDEs, so I decided to pick up Rider in it's early developement phase. Since it's a brand new environment I could barely find any information about it at all.

My problem is I simply cannot run my project, I have Mono installed and I gave it's path to the IDE but it still sais "no projects to run".

Do I need something aside Mono? Or what would you recommend me to check?

I had the exact same problem and I think I figured it out (without having to recreate a project from scratch).

The list in front of "Project:" is empty when there is no runnable project. A "Class library" for instance is not runnable. Just pick up one of your solution's projects (in your case there is only one), right click, then "Properties", and in front of "Output type:" (where you should see "Class library"), simply select "Console application".

Now you should see it in the window appearing when you click on "Edit configurations".

Create a new project:

New project

Write your code:

My file

Press Ctrl + F5 and you should see this window:

Configuration

Now simply click on Run. The next time you need to build it, you won't see the configuration settings, but it will still run the project. :)

    Thanks but thats the problem, I can't choose my project, it sais "no projects to run". I'll upload a screenshot. – Mate Dec 15 '16 at 14:27
  • Is your project imported from VS or it is a brand new one? – Симеон Шейтанов Dec 15 '16 at 14:46
  • I'ts a brand new project. – Mate Dec 15 '16 at 15:23
  • What is your project type? (Class Lib or Console App or which) – Ivan Shakhov Dec 15 '16 at 16:09
  • [link](http://puu.sh/sQuSY/60e672be87.png). Click on the drop-down and choose Edit Configurations. Now you should see this window: [link](http://puu.sh/sQuWj/cee52dabfa.png). In here you can edit the configuration settings. Try to switch the project and give it some time to load the existing projects. – Симеон Шейтанов Dec 15 '16 at 16:09
  • Thank you for your help Симеон Шейтанов, Ivan Shakhov, I went to the project propiteries and there wasn't a c# language level selected, not even the "default". That was the problem. – Mate Dec 15 '16 at 16:18
  • *properties ( I can't edit the comment, now the stackoverflow needs a post :) ) – Mate Dec 15 '16 at 16:20
  • That's strange. Normally every new project has nothing there. My guess was that you have created a ClassLibrary and then paste Main method in it. Could you please try to create a new ConsoleApp once again? – Ivan Shakhov Dec 15 '16 at 16:25
  • It was an empty solution, in a ConsoleApp I don't have the same problem – Mate Dec 15 '16 at 17:44
  • @Mate any news on this one? – Jonathan Oliveira Jan 20 '17 at 21:50
  • Oh, It's solved in the comments, create Console App instead of empty solution, or if the problem already happened you should go to project properties and choose your language. – Mate Jan 21 '17 at 13:48

    I know this is an older post but I'm running into same thing running Rider on my Mac. "Edit Configuration" isn't giving me a choice to change anything. I started a new .NET MVC project. – Randy R Aug 18 '17 at 04:55

This happened to me just now, coming from a dotnet new angular generated project.

What I did to solve it was to right-click solution and then add existing project.

add existing project
