VS Code supports running and debugging tests for your extension that require the VS Code API. These tests will run inside a special instance of VS Code, the Extension Development Host, and have access to the full APIs. We refer to these tests as integration tests, because they go beyond unit tests that can run in isolation from a VS Code window. The Debugger’s Threads window is even faster with this release. Now you can interact with Visual Studio while it processes data in the background, which is useful when you’re debugging multithreaded applications. Unit Testing. Improvements to.NET. Visual Studio for Mac version 7.4 is also available today.

Microsoft this week announced the availability of Visual Studio for Mac 7.4, which now supports recent versions of Android, macOS and C# among many other new features. While new functionality has been introduced -- such as support for Android Oreo 8.1 and macOS High Sierra -- Microsoft said a primary focus of the dev team for VS for Mac 7.4 was fixing reported issues like memory leaks, performance problems and stability concerns. Myriad issues fixed in this release range from the IDE hanging when a project is loaded to not having to restart the IDE to get unit tests to run as expected. The new support for Android Oreo 8.1, meanwhile, means developers can leverage newer technology such as: • (for entry-level smartphones) • (for running computationally intensive operations for machine learning on mobile devices) • updates (for filling out forms) • (enables the creation, mapping and protection control over anonymous shared memory) On the side of things, the team boosted wireless deployment and debugging functionality across both iOS and AppleTV devices. 'When a device is connected via a network and ready to be used for deployment, it now shows up in the device target list, as if the device were connected through USB,' Microsoft said in the.

Associated with that, developers are now asked to unlock a deployment device before an app is launched, which can now be done without interrupting a debugging session. Visual design tooling was also updated for both the iOS and Android designers. Support for the new C# 7.1 means developers can avail themselves of new functionality such as an async Main method, default literal expressions and inferred tuple element names. You can read more about that new functionality in this. Microsoft also detailed Roslyn-powered core architectural changes for C# editing that provide improved IntelliSense performance and typing responsiveness. At the same time VS for Mac 7.4 was announced, Microsoft shipped Visual Studio 2017 15.6, with improved solution load performance topping a list of. More details about what's new in VS for Mac 7.4 can be found in our earlier of a preview release.

Was introduced after Microsoft's acquisition of Xamarin, building upon that company's Xamarin Studio IDE, which was in turn based on the open source project. It serves as an adjunct offering along with the Windows-based Visual Studio family of IDEs (which include Xamarin for cross-platform mobile apps) for development on a Mac machine. It comes in Community (free), Professional and Enterprise versions.

Writing app for mac via windows 7. While debugging a C#.NET 4.6.2 application the debugger hangs when expanding variables (locals, watch window). Paragon ntfs for mac release notes. It takes 5-10 seconds to expand the variables. VS pegs at 100% CPU on a single core during this time.

Worse when debugging xUnit tests. These unit tests are very simple.

No visible increase in CPU usage or I/O among any other processes at the same time. No 3rd party extensions, clean VS install. I have not experienced this before with the 15.9.X series. This application is under export control guidelines and the code / dumps cannot be shared.
