.NET Tools News Releases ReSharper Platform

You can download the latest ReSharper 2023.1 Early Access Program build from our website. 

Let’s take a look at what’s inside!

Code cleanup

Reformat inactive preprocessor branches in file is a new task type inside the Built in: Reformat code profile we’re introducing in ReSharper 2023.1. The task enables you to reformat inactive preprocessor branches. It can only be applied to the entire file at once and works only with C# sources. 

To add the new task to your code cleanup session you must create a custom code cleanup profile. For that go to ReSharper | Edit | Cleanup code, click on Duplicate to create a copy of one of the existing profiles, and select the new task inside the Reformat code section.

This task cannot reformat code hidden behind a preprocessor directive #if that is always false. The two most obvious examples of this limitation are #if false ... #endif and #define A #if !A ... #endif constructs.

Rename refactoring 

We have improved the way ReSharper handles renaming files in a project. From this build on, whenever you rename a file inside your solution, a dialog will appear with the option to rename all relevant symbols (classes, interfaces, etc.) to match the change. This works not only for .cs files, but for a whole range of other file types, including .razor and .blazor.

Starting from this build, the Find usages command now works on C++20 module names.

dotTools

dotTrace

The standalone version of the dotTrace performance profiler is now available on Linux and macOS for both x64 and ARM64 processors. Download the build for your OS by clicking on the appropriate link: 

dotCover

We’ve introduced a Trigger Continuous Testing action, as well as the option to set up a shortcut for it. The action makes it possible to trigger continuous testing directly, whereas previously you could only do this indirectly by building or saving your project.

You can set up the shortcut by going to Tools | Options | Environment | Keyboard. To enable the continuous testing trigger via a shortcut, select this as an option in ReSharper | Options | dotCover | Continuous Testing. 

That’s it for now!
