Hi!

We are currently using Visual Studio Team System 2008 - Development
edition in a SharePoint environnement (dev server). The add new
feature file template are not showing up. Tried reinstalling this but
to no avail. Do i need to do some manual steps other then installing
the .msi so that the templates show up?

Thanks!

Harold

Looks like they are done through the Visual Studio extension. In
VS2010 you can see this in Tools > Extension Manager. Not sure if
there is a 2008 version of it but you might be able to copy the
templates manually.

they seem to be located here

C:\Program Files (x86)\TechTalk\SpecFlow\ItemTemplates

Copy them to

%userprofile%\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ItemTemplates

sorry the path should be 2008 not 2010 or what ever you have set in
visual studio under Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions as your
item template location

%userprofile%\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Templates\ItemTemplates

Thanks for the quick reply.

The templates are in the folder you mentionned. But i still can't see
the templates in visual studio. Like they don't register or something.

Thanks!

I had this problem when I was using vs 2008.  Follow the steps here: http://watirmelon.com/2011/02/18/c-sharp-atdd-on-a-shoestring/
 
These steps are for VS express but they work for 2008 also.

I have no such "ItemTemplates" directory.  
I.e. the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\TechTalk\SpecFlow\" just contains a bunch of individual files (.dll's, changelog.txt, featurefile.ico, etc.) but no folder for ItemTemplates.  
Any ideas?

Hi All,

Im Using Visual Studio 2010 , Once u download specflow through Nugets.... it will download the DLLs but it wont appear on your Visual Studio when u add New Item. GoTo>> Tools>> Extensions and Updates.. Download Specflow again there.. Now it will ask you for restart... then once it is started ...when u add new item...Specflow will appear.....


Cheers,

Yep. See http://www.specflow.org/getting-started/ for a detailed guide.

Thanks for this, this isn't clear at all in the specflow instructions.
