ReSharper Live Templates for xUnit.net
APACHE-2.0 License
This extension adds various Live Templates for xUnit.net to ReSharper.
Check out the README for details on the available templates.
To install, go to ReSharper → Extension Manager and search for "xunit live templates". Once installed, the templates are automatically available, and can be seen in the . They can be temporarily disabled by unchecking the appropriate entry in the ReSharper → Manage Options dialog.
The templates are distributed in a .dotSettings
file, which is not designed to be a human-readable file, and is very difficult to work with in an editor. In order to modify or add templates, you can either edit the templates in ReSharper's Live Template editor, or in the markdown files in the templates
folder, and running the template "compiler" program to generate the .dotSettings
file.
Make sure that any new templates have the appropriate categories and language set.

file in the ReSharper → Manage Options dialog. Select "This Computer", click the "plus" add icon and select "Open Settings File". Navigate to templates.dotSettings
and select it.templates.dotSettings
file in the Layer drop down in the top left of the editor. This is VERY IMPORTANT. This means any new templates, or edits to the existing templates are saved into the templates.dotSettings
file. Without selecting this layer, the changes will be save to the "This Computer" layer.All of the templates are saved as markdown files, which makes it convenient to browse and document, as well as edit outside of ReSharper. The markdown files are processed with a small app that will translate between the required .dotSettings
format, and the markdown files. Metadata is stored as YAML "front matter".

.These templates started life in the xunit plugin for ReSharper. Since ReSharper 2016.1, xunit support is built in to ReSharper, meaning the xunit plugin is no longer required. However, it is not appropriate to ship these templates by default, as they will not apply to all users. Hence they are available as a separate extension.
