Is this available in VS 2017?
Edit: and live unit testing! I was looking forward to that until I found out it was only available in the enterprise version. (And yes, here you have an edge on Java anyway I think)
I'm a dev on the C#/VB IDE experience (and i've written and maintain many of the Refactorings for those languages). C# and VB do support refactorings like 'Extract Method' and 'Move to Separate File'.
We've also exposed a full analysis and code manipulation API through 'Roslyn' so that community members can contribute even more refactorings through extensions.
One reason this may not have been clear is that previously we didn't strongly indicate to you that a refactoring was available. i.e. when you selected some code to extract a method, you would then have to use ctrl-dot to get the list of things you could do. Now, in VS2017 we pop up our 'Lightbulb' whenever refactorings are available. This helps make the refactorings much more discoverable and we've seen a very large uptick in people invoking them now that it's much clearer that they're available.
If you use VS2017 and find issues with our fixes/refactorings, or you would like us to add more, please file feedback at https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn Thanks!
Some gifs I prepared a while ago to explain what I mean (it seems that the parenthesis problem has been fixed in VS2017 though):
It was still slow, but somewhat less so. :)
Every new version I give it a try to see if the perf problems are fixed, and every time I have to turn it off after a few hours.
Core support is coming; first beta just released. I believe that targeting a constantly changing tooling set was/is quite a challenge.
Will try reshaper as well before deciding to buy any of them.
Beware: I'm pretty sure I failed a job interview as I was so used to Resharper, when I needed to do a test on a PC without I was fairly lost. They had no interest in my setting up unit tests first for the programming tasks so it might have been just as well.
Same here.
Thanks for the updates.
For some reason I though Reshaper would be incompatible with NCrunch but I will try them together now.
- Resharper supports "Extract class" and "Move to separate file".
Wishful thinking?
The download link takes you to a page ( https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/whatsnew/ ) where the main download button doesn't actually appear when the window is resized below a certain width, and there's no obvious indication of what's going on. This really confused and frustrated me.
