Used Visual Studio

Visual Studio 2022

Are the latest Visual Studio updates installed?

Yes

SpecFlow Section in app.config or content of specflow.json

specFlow.json-> { "language": { "feature": "en-US" } }

Issue Description

In vs2019, specflow is working properly. but when I update visual studio to 2022 then issue is popping Issue-----------> System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot find reference assembly 'mscorlib.dll'

Steps to Reproduce

Steps->

1. install specFlow from Extentions -> specFlow for visual studio 2022
2. Also install nuget packages-> specFlow-> 3.9.74 specFlow.Tools.MsBuild.Generation -> 3.9.74 SpecFlow.xUnit ->3.9.74

unit tests are running but I cannot go to step definitions anymore even generate steps.

Weirdly it worked when I created a new SpecFlow project with the default Calculator test, then I edited the feature and when compiled again it failed.

• Visual Studio 2022 v17.4.2
• net 6 project
• SpecFlow.xUnit v3.9.74
• SpecFlow.Plus.LivingDocPlugin v3.9.57
• no Specflow section
• no specflow.json

[ZaxonXP]

What is the latest version of this extension where these features were working?

[payalpatil]

What is the latest version of this extension where these features were working?

Is there any version for extension? I am talking about this extension

[psalters]

I have the same issue as AlbertoSadoc with specflow extension version: v2022.1.91 - 2022-12-20

Same issue here as well: In VS 2022, the regeneration of the .feature.cs is not working, also not when rebuilding the project. The Specflow extension is installed (2022.1.91.26832) as well as nuGet package inside the project: SpecFlow 3.9.74 SpecFlow.NUnit 3.9.74 In the project pop-up menu, the command to regenerate is disabled (greyed):

Regenerate All Feature File Code-behind

In menu -- Tools --> Options --> the SpecFlow is missing!

Question: how can we enable this again?
