Can mspec tests run in the native Visual Studio 2010 test runner?

Running MSpec in the VS runner is not possible. You can set up MSpec as an external tool that runs the current assembly in a separate console window (free), have your client purchase TestDriven. Net or convince him to invest in ReSharper (I'm sure we both agree the tool is worth its price :).

Absolutely worth the price. However, when trying to convince a client to embrace and maintain a test suite, it's important to me to remove as many obstacles and as much friction as possible. Would it be possible after some extension or modification to mspec or would it just not be possible at all?

– Byron Sommardahl Jan 4 at 14:31 I have no idea if the VS test runner is extensible in any way, so it might be possible or not. What one could try is add MSTest wrappers around MSpec contexts but these would have to be generated dynamically from the compiled MSpec assembly, possibly using Reflection. Emit and somehow forcing VS to load the generated MSTest assembly.

I would consider that a hack, and a nasty one I might add. – Alexander Groß Jan 4 at 17:25 You might want to look into AutoTest.Net. It's more of an automatic test runner that looks for file changes, recompiles and runs tests using mspec.

Exe (or any other framework for that matter). It's free (OSS), but I don't know about its VS integration. – Alexander Groß Jan 4 at 17:30.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
