SpecFlow "Create Test Definition Definition" is missing in VS2015
I am testing VS2015 and writing SpecFlow special files. When I right click on the file, I cannot find the Generate Test Definitions context menu. This only happens in the "Class Library (Package)", which is obviously the DNX 5.0 library.
Here is my project.json:
{
"version": "1.0.0-*",
"description": "",
"authors": [ "" ],
"tags": [ "" ],
"projectUrl": "",
"licenseUrl": "",
"dependencies": {
"SpecFlow": "1.9.0",
"SpecFlow.xUnit": "1.0.2",
"xunit": "2.1.0-beta3-build3029",
"xunit.extensions": "2.0.0"
},
"frameworks": {
"dnx451": { },
"dnxcore50": {
"dependencies": {
"System.Collections": "4.0.10-beta-22816",
"System.Linq": "4.0.0-beta-22816",
"System.Threading": "4.0.10-beta-22816",
"Microsoft.CSharp": "4.0.0-beta-22816"
}
}
}
And I added the Visual Studio 2015 SpecFlow extensions.
Did I miss something?
But if I try the same in a normal class library that works great.

I would suggest that SpecFlow is only supported in desktop DotNet applications, the dnx format is too large or unstable to be fully supported.
Looking at http://www.specflow.org/documentation/Visual-Studio-2015-Integration/ you will find out that this integration may not be complete. (I note that NuGet said the same thing just a few months ago http://blog.nuget.org/20150331/nuget-2.8.5.html ).
Sorry, this is all speculation.
You might want to raise this as an issue with them, https://github.com/techtalk/SpecFlow/issues .

I found this little gem to provide a nice bridge until Specflow handles this issue:
