Hi All,

I have released an intaller for MSpec 3.0. You can download it from my blog: http://marcinobel.com/index.php/mspec-bdd-installer/
Please, let me know if everything works fine.

*** This might help others with the report output HTML working. ***

The assembly ‘Machine.Specifications.Reporting.dll’ is also required to be place in the test out put directory. For example, I added the following as a post-build step in my .csproj settings (i.e Project | Settings – Build Events):

> machine.specifications.consolerunner –html $(TargetDir)mspec.rpt.html $(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)

@jdn
If you had visual studio open at the time you set up resharper to handle mspecs, you will have to restart visual studio.

Sorry, I’m missing something. How does this help with ReSharper? If I try to right-click and run unit tests on my already existing mspec specs after doing steps 1, 2, 3, all I get is the message “No unit tests found.”

I’m sure I missed something, but not sure what.

btw, the location to the git repository is incorrect; it should be

git://github.com/machine/machine.git =>

git clone git://github.com/machine/machine.git mspec

Are MSpec “tests” integrated with Resharper TestRunner

Also, make sure you run the reg file in the Testdriven.net directory. This will allow VS to pick up the tests with TD.net. (make sure you adjust the path to the td.net dll)

I have some issues with the TDD flow when using MSPEC. Normally I use “Introduce variable” when asserting on the output of a property or method. Because the variable needs to be declared static in order to be seen in the It delegate this doesn’t work.

Does anyone have a tip for this?

@bogardj cool I’ll look into autohotkey, at the moment I am just using a visual studio macro for underscores

@derick.bailey glad you enjoyed, thanks

@Richard Cirerol I also have not delved much into the behaves_like options but it’s on my list of things to do, if I can come up with some good examples, I’d be happy to post them
