SCSF Recipes Not Working - Check Solution File

I recently opened a SCSF project that was having build problems and I found that once the build problems had been corrected the GAT recipes were not working. An error was being reported when I tried to run the Add Module recipe:

Microsoft.Practices.RecipeFramework.RecipeExecutionException: An exception occurred during the binding of reference or execution of recipe CreateBusinessModuleCS. Error was: The following arguments are required and don’t have values: CommonProject. Can’t continue execution..

Evetually I found that the required attrbutes were not set in the Solution file (.sln) so the solution was unaware of the SCSF responsiblities it had. I checked this link…

http://www.ideablade.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=357

It details the solution data required (example below), which I confirmed with other SCSF solutions I had.

GlobalSection(ExtensibilityGlobals) = postSolution
RootNamespace = MySolutionName.MyProjectName
CommonProjectGuid = 7432c860-3226-49fa-a9f4-2dd27d1229b8
ShellProjectGuid = 6ee16e85-57a7-4a00-9018-43eca17194cb
EndGlobalSection

I updated the GUIDs to be the ones from my solution (ie the GUID of the Infrastructure.Interface and the Shell projects) and that sorted the problem.

This could be due to a new solution file being checked in by the developer who created the original SCSF project, and not the original Solution file (that was generated by the SCSF).
