ReSharper 3.x MbUnit and VS 2008

As a long time lover of ReSharper, I finally got round to upgrading to the new 3.1 version, but I came across a minor problem after the install, ReSharper wasn’t appearing in the VS2008 IDE :(.

So after a quick Google it appears you need a specific incantation when you install on a machine with both versions of Visual Studio installed :

msiexec /i ResharperSetup.3.1.Full.VS80.msi VSVERSION=9.0

hey presto, we’re in business. ReSharper appears on the inside VS2008’s menu bar once more!

The next issue I had wasn’t really a problem with resharper but its built in unit test runner didn’t support MbUnit natively. Enter Albert Weinert , who has created a very nice ReSharper plugin to allow you to run your MbUnit tests right in the IDE using ReSharper’s test runner! I don’t think I’m the only one salute you Albert with each press of f5 🙂

    Thank you very much! That was the hint I needed to solve the same problem with resharper 3.1. Greetings, Wolfgang

    Hi Mena!
    Glad you got it working, however – i noticed that the latest version of the mbUnit-resharper plugin shows the tests but doesn’t actually run them :(. I’ve seen a couple of other people have this problem too, so maybe you’re just lucky 😉
    I’m patiently waiting for the next update !
    thanks for reading/commenting!
    Rob
