Using ReSharper Test Runner to run MSTest Unit Tests

Question

I need to use the ReSharper Unit Test Runner to run my MSTest Unit Tests on VS 2008. I have heard of using "Gallio" to do this but I don't know what Gallio is (it seemed like some all purpose VS extensibility framework). Does anyone know the best way to run MSTest Unit Tests using ReSharper Test Runner?

Answer 1

See:

Using Resharper Unit Test Runner for MSTest via Gallio

and

Answer 2

Note, that ReSharper 4.5 which you can get via Early Access Program, is going to support MSTest out of the box.

Answer 3

I tried the latest ReSharper 4.5 nightly build (27 Feb 2009/#1181) and it works pretty well but I have to explictly add the tests or fixtures to a unit test session. I can't run all tests from the project or solution unfortunately.

Answer 4

You do not need resharper to support standalone mstest installation. I explain how to make a standalone mstest installation without the VS in my post here - http://www.shunra.com/shunrablog/index.php/2009/04/running-mstest-without-visual-studio
