Problems with T4 code generation

[anoehre]

I would like to contribute some ideas in the fluent date section.
Unfortunately I have some problems runnning the T4 Templates.

After running the "In.SomeTimeFrom" template the classes look like:
public static class 1 {}
instead of
public static class One {}

Obviously this line in the template doesn't work on my machine:
public static class <#= i.ToWords().Dehumanize() #>

What might be the problem here?

Thanks for reporting this.

On the top of the T4 there is a reference to <#@ assembly name="$(SolutionDir)Humanizer\bin\Debug\Humanizer.dll" #>. So for this to work you have to have compiled your code at least once and with Debug Build Configuration so that dll can be found at that path. Have you done this?

[anoehre]

Yes, I already checked that. The dll exists, the path is correct.
Is english the default? I am asking because my dev machine is a german OS with german VS.

Do'h!! This is something we changed only a few hours ago in #149. Basically before we were defaulting to English when the culture didn't match, and now we're not and instead return the plain number.

Here is how we can fix this, and a PR would be really appreciated on it.

Change EnglishNumberToWordsConverter to public and change the T4 to hit that class directly instead of going through ToWords. Alternatively you could change the culture to English before the call so it's routed properly to where it should.

Thanks for finding and reporting this :)
