ReSharper for Visual Studio Code Help

Work with unit tests in project or solution

Discover unit tests in solution

To see all supported tests discovered in the current solution, ReSharper for Visual Studio Code uses the Testing window ( View | Testing). Using this window, you can explore and run unit tests of all supported frameworks in the entire solution. Note that unit tests from a project only appear in the window after the project is built. Tests from currently opened files are updated automatically, new tests from the opened files appear in the Testing window as soon as you create them.

In the Testing window, you can:

  • Explore tests in the solution: browse all unit tests in a tree view, search tests and filter by a substring, and so on.

  • Navigate to the source code of any test by clicking it in the view.

  • Run selected tests.

Run tests in solution

To run all discovered tests in the solution, click Show Output in the Testing window:
