Generation of VB code

[synapdb]

Hello all,

I created a C# .Net project where I am holding hold specflow feature files. The steps of those old feature files were implemented in VB.

I also cretaed a VB.Net MSTest prject that will contain the implemented steps in VB.

As a first test, I would like to generate steps in VB from the simple calculator exemple.

Can reqnroll generates VB code?

Thank you

Yes, feature files contained within VB projects will get their code-behind generated as VB.

Step definitions can be in any .NET language. Use the the reqnroll.json configuration file to tell Reqnroll which assemblies to include when searching for step definitions. https://docs.reqnroll.net/latest/installation/configuration.html#use-bindings-from-external-projects

I must be doing something wrong as I cannot have reqnroll generate code in VB.

Here is the link of a simple Calculator project on GitHub in case someone has some time to look at what I am doing wrong:

I have generated the steps code in VB that you will see in the test project by hand and all his binding fine.

There is still a step in the MultiplyTwoNumbers.feature file that has no implementation.

I just cannot generate the step (or any steps) in VB as shown in the following attachment.

Any help would greatly apppreciated.

My regards

Daniel

I apologize for the imprecision in my answer.
Reqnroll does support step definitions written in VB.
Reqnroll supports feature files present in .vbproj projects. (The code generation I mentioned earlier was related to this, as during compilation Reqnroll compiles the gherkin in your feature file into a .net source file (C#, VB, or F#) and includes that in your project)

The Reqnoll Extension for Visual Studio 2022 does not support generation of step definition snippets in any language other than C#.

Thank you very much once again.

This is indeed good enough for us.

All our new tests will be written in C# and all legacy tests written in VB with SpecFlow will run fine with reqnroll.

This all good.

Thank you Chris
