Shared projects cause Step bindings to go into analyses and stay there

[kclarnold]

Windows 8 and 10 VS 2015 Specflow Project Refernce-> Shared project Shared Project Add new feature file

Trace with Errors below but basically SpecFlow will now never return. you will get "Step Bindings are still being analysed. Please wait" I have let it run for an hour in one instance. The only solution is to not have a shared project. I have tried varying names, etc...

[samholder]

have you tried deleting the specflow-stepmap* from %temp%. That might work

[kclarnold]

@samholder Yes that works until you add in another feature file, or close and re-open the solution. Then you are back to the analyses stuck point. Basicly if you do anything that kicks off a regen of the feature files.

@kclarnold at the moment it isn't clear what is going to happen with regard to shared projects: we don't know whether Microsoft will continue the direction of shared projects or will promote PCL projects.

It will probably take time before this can be fixed :-(

If you or anybody else is willing to dig into the code and fix it, we will welcome a PR.

We will leave this issue open until the end of July. If nobody has sent a PR by then, we will close this issue.

[kclarnold]

Dirk, Thank you for the response I am not what I would consider proficient enough in C# to fix the issue, but I may take a stab at isolating the issue. Not sure what a PCL project is but I will look it up and see if I can go that route.
