The Zanebug VS.NET Add-in allows integration of Zanebug into the VS.NET 2003 IDE.
Installing the VS.NET Add-in can be done in two ways:
As part of the standard installation, you'll be provided with the option to install VS.NET 2003 Add-in. Simply keep this item checked, and the Add-in will install silently.
Important
You should close all running instances of VS.NET prior to running this step. If you don't, the Addin won't appear and you'll need to manually display it via the Add-In Manager.
When you uninstall Zanebug (), the Add-in will be automatically uninstalled.
Option A: Run Control Panel Uninstaller
You can manually uninstall Zanebug by going to
Option B: Run Program Uninstaller
At any time, you can manually install or uinstall the Add-in. To manually install, go to the Zanebug install directory (default is C:\Program Files\Zanebug) and click on the Setup.msi. This will launch the Add-in installer. To uninstall, do the same thing, and it will launch the uninstall process. To uninstall, you can also go to the Add/Remove Programs section in Control Panel and select ZanebugAddinSetup.
Troubleshooting
If for some reason the Zanebug Add-in doesn't uninstall properly, do the following:
Open the registry and delete the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\AddIns\ZanebugAddin.Connect
This removes the VS.NET entry for the Zanebug Addin.
Open the VS.NET 2003 Command Prompt () and enter the following:
devenv /setup
This resets the VS.NET Command Bar information.
Note
This will reset the command bars to their default mode, so you may have to reselect some toolbars for display.
Usage of the Add-in is straight forward. Select one of the options below to run tests.
Cursor Location
The way Zanebug decides what to run is by the cursor location::
If the cursor is inside a Test method, it will run that specific Test
If the cursor is between Test methods, it will run the Test method above the cursor
If the cursor is at the TestFixture declaration, it will run the entire TestFixture
When viewing code in the Code Window, you can right click for the Context Menu. On the Context Menu, you'll see "Test with Zanebug". Place the cursor in the proper location and click this to run Zanebug.
When you install the Add-in, it creates a Toolbar for Zanebug. This should be visible the next time you open VS.NET IDE. By default, the Zanebug toolbar is undocked.
Tip
If the toolbar isn't visible, go to the VS.NET menu and select (should be checked).
To dock it, simply drag it to the VS.NET toolbar.
If the Zanebug toolbar is visible on your screen, you can simply place your cursor in the code window at the correct location and press Alt + Z to run your test. This saves you from having to pull up the Context Menu or go to the Toolbar.
