Support for Specflow V3

[ParagRaut]

Please add support for Specflow V3 as it supports .Net core out of the box Currently generated files are for Specflow V2.3 and Nunit by default for some reason

[mikeyjones]

We are looking into this, with all the .Net core changes that SpecFlow havfe done, thee is a lot to change, but we will hopefully have an update on progress soon

[mikeyjones]

We now have SpecFlow V3 support for Visual Studio Mac 2019, let me know if you find any bugs, I was able to create a .Net Core library with Nunit and add SpecFlow and get a spec to pass

Hi Mike, now new plugin doesn’t install with current stable version of Vs 2019, required mono framework version is higher than what it has in stable version

[mikeyjones]

hmmm, I'm on the stable branch, and it installed fine for me, there was an update to VS 2019 yesterday which I installed, what version are you on?

[mikeyjones]

My versions are:

Hi Mikey, My visual studio is not updating for some reason or do I able to get extension list in extension manager. now I get this as an error while installing plugin:

[mikeyjones]

OK, I have just published it for version 8.0 as well as 8.0.1, can you refresh your repo and try again for me?

[ParagRaut]

The extension manager is not able to connect to any repo for some reason, I already raised an issue in VS for mac forum.

I have to try it with manual install

[mikeyjones]

I did put an mpack in releases, so you can use that for now, https://github.com/straighteight/SpecFlow-VS-Mac-Integration/releases/tag/1.11.3.0

It's built for 8.0 so should be fine

[ParagRaut]

Same issue, I see that last build was 14 hours ago. are you sure you included changes in that build ?

[mikeyjones]

Definitely built for 8.0:

    <Addin id="::MonoDevelop.Core" version="8.0" />
    <Addin id="::MonoDevelop.Ide" version="8.0" />

It was built with Visual Studio 8.0.1, so that might be the issue, I thought it was because I attached the mpack to 8.0.1 in the addin repo when I published it. Frustratingly, I cannot downgrade my copy to 8.0 now.

I'm thinking about what we can do about this :/

[ParagRaut]

okay, I think I will build this mpack and then try to install

[mikeyjones]

Are you on the preview build of VS Mac, or did you download the officially released one that came out on Tuesday?

[ParagRaut]

official stable one

[mikeyjones]

It's pretty easy to build, you'll need the AddinMaker, in the Extensions/Extension Development section.

Clone this repo and build it.

in terminal go to the directory where the VisualStudio.SpecFlow.dll is and run:

/Applications/Visual\ Studio.app/Contents/MacOS/vstool setup pack VisualStudio.SpecFlow.dll 

[ParagRaut]

Finally I built it and it's enabled now

[mikeyjones]

Well done, thanks for all your effort!

I'll try and make sure I do builds with each version of VS Mac next time, I hope it works well for you. We have started looking at some enhancements to make life easier which generating the steps, but both Jim and I are pretty busy with our normal lives at the moment, so it's slow progress.

[ParagRaut]

Yes that's great anyway, progress is progress :) I will let you know if I find something which is not working, or bugs
