ReSharper doesn't see my Machine.Specification tests

Question

I'm having a problem getting ReSharper to see the Machine.Specification "tests" I've written.

The specs run in the ConsoleRunner from mSpec. When I try to "Run Unit Tests" in ReSharper, I get a message: "No tests found in file." The specs don't show the test markers.

I created a folder in the ReSharper /bin/ folder and put the proper .dlls there. The mSpec plug in appears in ReSharper.

What might I be missing?

Also, I'm using xUnit.NET if that makes a difference.

The ReSharper runner do not take nested context classes into account. Instead of nesting context classes:

namespace SomeNamespace
{
    public class Specs
    {
        public class when_something_happens
        {
            Because of = () => {};
            It should_do_something = () => {};
        }
    }
}

Author contexts that are not nested, i.e. root classes inside a namespace:

namespace SomeNamespace
{
    public class when_something_happens
    {
        Because of = () => {};
        It should_do_something = () => {};
    }
}

ReSharper's green-and-yellow test icons do appear if all of the conditions are met:

• class is public
• class is not abstract
• class is not nested
• has >= 1 specification field (It), or has >= 1 behavior field (Behaves_like<>)

In order to have good integration of MSpec with Visual Studio and ReSharper install MSpec using installer which is available here: http://marcinobel.com/index.php/mspec-bdd-installer/
