My ReSharper Gutter Icons for Unit Tests aren't showing

Question

I've installed ReSharper 4.1 and Gallio 3.0.5, but I don't get the gutter icons for unit tests. The tests seem to run fine in the Test Explorer, but I don't have icons next to the tests in code. What could be causing this? I previously had the MbUnit 2.4 ReSharper plugin installed, but it should be uninstalled now.

Answer 1

I did this to get them to show up again. Maybe it was an overkill.

1. Uninstall ReSharper
2. Uninstall Gallio
3. Delete %appdata%\JetBrains folder
4. Install ReSharper
5. Start Visual Studio
6. Close Visual Studio
7. Install Gallio
8. Start Visual Studio

I think the key was deleting the %appdata%\JetBrains folder, because there could have been some old plugin files in there.

Answer 2

Maybe a bit long ago, but if someone stumbles on this question...

I had the same problem with Resharper 2016.2

Resharper -> Options -> Code Inspection -> Settings

In my case the project containing the unit test was listed in the "Files and folders" list under "Elements to skipp". After I had removed the project, the icon appeared again.

Another really late answer here, but if you don't have Code Analysis enabled then the gutter icons won't show up. Had to help a teammate figure this out yesterday.

Answer 4

I've had this issue a number of times when doing clean installs. Sometimes the gallio-resharper plugin installs perfectly, sometimes it does not. I tried the steps above to no avail.

I found this link: http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/ReSharper/Deploying+plugin And did the following

1. Created a Plugins folder in "C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\ReSharper\v5.1\Bin\"
2. Copied the resharper plugin files from GallioBundle-3.3.458.0.zip\bin\ReSharper into this folder
3. Suspended and resumed resharper in Visual Studio 10 by using the button in Tools|Options|Resharper

After this, the plugin got enabled.

I am running W7x64 professional.

Hope this can be of help to other people as well. :-)

Suspend and Resume Resharper may work. It was working for me.
