How to start specific unit test?

Question

In VS 2010 I could start the unit test at current cursor position using run/debug test in current context. I can't find this anymore in VS11. Was it removed or I just can't find it anymore?

In VS11 Beta I have to run all tests to get the whole list of unit tests. Then stop the run. Then find the test I need in the long list (2606 tests). Then right click on it and select run/debug selected test.

I hope the release version will have more convenient way of starting single tests. 

Answer 1

Hi,

Thanks for trying out VS 11 and providing feedback. Yes, we are working on the context menu to run/debug test single test from IDE. It would be part of release version.

Daniel,

In the Beta you can right click in the editor and it will run all the tests in the file. For Beta we didn't have context-menu-single run complete, but we know how important that is and are currently working improving the experience.

Thanks!

Hi Daniel,

This should be fixed in the RTM. If you are still experiencing problems with this can you file a connect bug? http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio
