As I do test-driven development, I find it annoying to switch over to the Mouse every time I want to run my tests.
So I just hooked up a hotkey for running unit tests.
CTRL+ALT+T usually shows the Test Session pane – I’ve never used it, so I assigned it to:
ReSharper.UnitTest_ContextRun
Context_Run runs the test method your cursor is inside, or if you move out of the method it will run the whole test fixture.
CTRL+SHIFT+F6 (Switch to previous window pane) then brings the focus back to your code.
Nice… I’m gonna try it
There’s also a few standard shortcuts you can use:
Ctrl + R, A – Run all tests
Ctrl + R, T – Run tests in context (based on if cursor is in function, class, or namespace)
Ctrl + R, F – Runs all tests that are checked in Test Results – very handy because that window is impossible to navigate without a mouse
Ctrl + R, Ctrl + A – Run all tests in debug mode
Ctrl + R, Ctrl + T – Run all tests in context in debug mode
Ctrl + R, Ctrl + F – Run all checked tests in debug mode
Hi Mikael,
thanks for the tip! I didn’t really mention, that I use Resharper (R#, if you don’t have it, get it!), while your shortcuts are for MSTest with VS pure.
But I hooked up your suggestions (slightly different) to the corresponding R#-commands:
CTRL R, T – Run test/s in context
CTRL D, T – Debug test/s in context
CTRL R, S – Run current session
CTRL R, A – Run all / solution
