General
In this page of ReSharper options, you can configure preferences of ReSharper Build.
Item | Description |
---|---|
Build Engine | |
Use ReSharper Build | If this checkbox is selected, ReSharper will optimize build process with ReSharper Build, which tracks changes in your solution and only rebuilds modified projects and necessary dependencies. In this case, ReSharper Build will be invoked on all build commands, for example Ctrl+Shift+B as well as for corresponding context menu commands on projects and solution folders in Solution Explorer. |
Run build after solution is loaded | This self-explanatory option will be applied independently of selected build management preference. |
Build Parameters | |
Use MSBuild.exe version | Using this selector, you can choose the version of MSBuild.exe that is used to build the solution. You can choose one of the automatically detected MSBuild versions, or specify the path to a custom MSBuild executable in a non-standard location. |
Use up to X processes in parallel | Using this selector, you can choose the number of parallel process used to build the solution. |
Restore NuGet packages before build | When this checkbox is selected, ReSharper will restore NuGet packages for all projects in the current solution using ReSharper's proprietary mechanism, which works in all supported versions of Visual Studio. Note that this option requires .NET Framework 4.5 or later to be installed on your machine. |
Write log to output | When this checkbox is selected, log items selected under it will be shown in Visual Studio's Output window. Notes:
|
Write to log file | When this checkbox is selected, build output is saved to a log file. Use controls under this checkbox to choose a verbosity level and a path where the log file is saved. If the selected log directory does not exist, it is shown in red. However, ReSharper will create the non-existent path when logging to file for the first time. |
Invoke Pre- and Post- build event targets for skipped projects | When ReSharper uses heuristics to skip some projects during the build process, such projects are skipped completely, including all additional build logic. |
Invoke BeforeBuild and AfterBuild targets for skipped projects | When ReSharper uses heuristics to skip some projects during the build process, such projects are skipped completely, including all additional build logic. |
Presentation | |
Status Bar: show build progress in status bar | If this checkbox is selected, build progress is displayed in Visual Studio status bar. |
Task Bar: show build progress in Windows task bar | If this checkbox is selected, build progress is displayed in the Visual Studio icon on the Windows task bar. |
Paint output log | When this checkbox is selected, entries in the Output window are displayed in different colors, corresponding to their origin and kind. |
Tool Window: when build starts, open the build progress view in a tool window | When this checkbox is selected, ReSharper brings up the Build tool window to visualize build progress and status. |
Build results view: enable grouping solution builder results by namespaces, types, and members | Lets you toggle grouping of build results in build output shown in the Find Results window. |
Showing build results after build completed | This selector allows you to choose the level of build messages to display build results. |
