Visual Studio Add-in Features

The TeamCity add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio provides the following features:

  • Remote Run for TFS, Subversion and Perforce (for remote run for Mercurial and Git see Branch Remote Run Trigger)

  • Pre-Tested (Delayed) Commit for TFS, Subversion and Perforce

  • fetching JetBrains dotCover coverage analysis data from the TeamCity server (see more) to MS Visual Studio (requires dotCover of the supported version installed in Visual Studio)

  • viewing recently committed changes and personal builds with their build status in the My Changes tool window

  • opening build failure details in MS Visual Studio from the TeamCity web UI

  • viewing failed tests' details for a build

  • rerunning tests failed in the TeamCity build locally via the ReSharper test runner

  • navigation from the IDE to the build results web page

  • reapplying changes sent in Remote Run or Pre-tested commit to the working directory

For detailed instructions, refer to the TeamCity Add-in Online Help.

tip

To enable navigation to the failed tests in MS Visual Studio by using Open in IDE actions in the web UI, make sure that .pdb file generation for the assemblies involved in NUnit/MSTest unit tests is switched on in the current Visual Studio project.

Installing Add-in

  1. Close all running instances of Visual Studio before starting the Add-in installation (initial or upgrade).

  2. Navigate to the download page of the Visual Studio Add-in:

    • Click the arrow next to your username in the top right corner of the TeamCity web UI and select Profile.

    • In the TeamCity Tools section on the right, click the Visual Studio Add-in download link.

The TeamCity Visual Studio Add-in is shipped as a part of ReSharper Ultimate products bundle. After installation, the TeamCity add-in will be available under the RESHARPER menu in Visual Studio.

note

The installer will remove the prebundled products' versions: TeamCity and ReSharper versions prior to 9.0, dotCover prior to 3.0, dotTrace prior to 6.0. ReSharper Ultimate does not support the Visual Studio versions 2005 and 2008.

Requirements

See the Supported Platforms and Environment page for the system requirements to configure integration with different version control systems or coverage tools.
