Visual Studio Run



Some time ago I downloaded a project from GitHub, proceeded to build it, and then I tried to run the test: not a single one of them was executed.

  1. See full list on tutorials.visualstudio.com.
  2. This is the latest supported Visual C redistributable package update for Visual Studio 2010. Visual Studio 2008 (VC 9.0) SP1. Visual Studio 2008 reached end of support on April 10, 2018. To aid the discovery of the latest downloads, the links are retained currently, but may be removed in the future.

The “Test Explorer” window was in order: all the test were there, still when I selected any of them and tried to run it, visual studio just ignored me: no error message, no build errors, nothing.

The only hint that something was wrong – besides the obvious facts that the test remained obstinately in a not run state – was this message in the Visual Studio output console:

But I want to just run the file right from the Miscellaneous folder. For example the DEV files in this directory will build/deploy the project in our DEV environment: By default, if you double click the file, it will take you to edit the file in a Visual Studio editor, which is actually what is desired. Root Cause: If, We shutdown the system with out closing the visual studio properly and next time we will open the system then some times we will get this issue due to setup will run at background. Fix: No need to do any thing just wait for 10 to 15 minutes and open the visual studio again.

[Warning] No test is available in xxx.dll. Make sure that test discoverer & executors are registered and platform & framework version settings are appropriate and try again.
[Informational] Run test finished: 0 run (0:00:00,419024)

I checked the platform target configuration for the project: AnyCPU. So there was not incoherence with the Test settings > DefaultProcessor Architecture.

Well, when downloading a new project it is now unusual to run into silly configuration issues.This time I had an inkling of what could be askew: if you want to run NUnit tests from Visual Studio, you need to install the NUnitTest3Adapter. Could it be that it wasn´t installed in the solution? Well that was exactly the case: I installed the NUnitTest3Adapternuget using the package manager and that solved the problem!

A visual studio code is a lightweight software application with a powerful source code editor that runs on the desktop. It is a free source code editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, Mac OS and Linux. It is a software editor that has a rich extension of various languages like C++, C+, C, Java, Python, PHP, Go, etc. and runtime language extensions such as .NET and Unity. It is easy to edit, build, syntax highlighting, snippets, code refactoring and debugging. In visual studio code, we can change the application's background theme, keyboard shortcuts set on our preferences, install an extension and add additional functionality.

Prerequisites for running a C program in Visual Studio Code

  1. We should have a basic knowledge of C programming.
  2. The Visual Studio Code Editor must be installed in the system.
  3. Download the C/C++ Extension. It is an extension provided by Microsoft that support visual studio code. It helps in IntelliSence, debugging and code browsing of the programming code in the visual studio.
  4. Download the C/C++ compilers. There are some popular compilers are:
    1. GCC on Linux
    2. GCC via Mingw-w64 on Windows
    3. Microsoft C++ compiler on windows
    4. Clang for XCode on MacOS

We have already installed the Visual Studio Code in our system. The user interface of VS code look like the following:

Download & Install the C/C++ Extension

1. We need to click on the extension button that displays a sidebar for downloading and installing the C/C++ extension in the visual studio code. In the sidebar, type C Extension.

Download and Install Compiler Extension

A MinGW is an advanced GCC compiler software used to compile and execute code. It is software that supports only the window operating system.

Download the MinGW-w64 Compiler

1. Go to the https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw We land on the following page.

2. After that, click on the Download button, then it starts the downloading of the MinGW GCC compiler, as we can see in the below image.

3. MinGW software has been successfully downloaded into the system.

4. Now we double-click on the MinGW set up to install the compiler.

As we can see, it shows that it is a harmful file click on the Run button to proceed with installing the setup.

5. Click on the Install

6. Set it defaults, or we can change the storage location of the setup. After that, click on the Continue

7. After clicking the continue button, it shows step 2 of MinGW Installation Manager.

8. As we click on the Continue, it shows the below image. In the MinGW Installation Manager, we need to check the Mingw32-base package and Ming32-gcc-g++ package to run and compile the C/ C++ program in the visual studio code editor.

9. After selecting the checkbox, click on the Installation tab (at the top left corner of the dialog box).

Here we click on Apply Changes to set the package's installation in MinGW, as given below.

10. After click on the Apply button, it shows the below image.

11. After downloading the packages, it shows the installation process of the package, as shown below.

Here we can see all the changes have been successfully applied and then click on the Close button.

Set the Environment Path for the MinGW Set Up

After downloading and installing the MinGW compiler, we now set the environment path to include the C/C++ compiler directory.

1. Go to the installation directory of the MinGW Set Up. Here we installed the setup at the C drive, as shown below.

Visual Studio Run

2. Double click on the MinGW folder. It shows the below image.

3. After that, click on the bin folder and then copy the directory path, as shown below.

Here is the path of the MinGW folder path: C:MinGWbin

In the above image, first, we click on the New button and then paste the C:MinGWbin path; after that, click the OK button.

8. Similarly, click the OK button to the Environment Variables and System Properties.

9. If we want to check that the MinGW has been successfully installed in the system: go to the Command Prompt or cmd, write the gcc -version, and press the Enter

Start Coding in the Visual Studio Code Editor

1. Here we created a C Program folder to store all program code. We can create a folder with any name in any directory.

Visual Studio Run Code

2. Go to the VS Code and click on the Add Folder.

3. As we click on the Add Folder, it shows a popup dialog box to select the folder to store the program.

4. After selecting the folder, click on the Add The selected folder appears in the explorer section, as we have shown below.

5. Move the mouse over the C PROGRAM folder; it shows a + Click on the button and write the file name as JavaTpoint.c, as shown below.

Now write and understand simple C programming in the VS Code editor.

JavaTpoint.c Test speed for mac.

Studio

After writing the code, right-click on the program, as shown below.

Click on the Run Code option or press Ctrl + Alt + N from the button. It shows the following output.

Visual Studio Run With Arguments

Let's write a program to calculate the area and perimeter of the rectangle in the VS Code editor.

Rectangle.c

We can click on the Run button or press the Ctrl + Alt + N from the keyboard. It displays the below output.

Let's write another C program to take an input from the user in the Visual Studio Code Editor.

Rectangle2.c

When we click on the Run button or press the Ctrl + Alt + N, it displays the below output.

In the above program, we take length and breadth as input from the keyboard. As the program is compiled, it produces the below statement.

Here Output tab is read-only, and hence we cannot take any input from the user. So, we need to add some steps in the code editor to take user inputs from the console/user.

Following are the steps to take input from the user.

  1. First of all, we need to stop the background running the c program by pressing the Alt + Ctrl + M from the keyboard.
  2. After stopping the C file, go & click the File button at the top left corner of the Visual Studio Code Editor, and select the Settings via Preferences, as shown below image.
  3. After clicking the Settings, it shows the image below.
    In this image, select the extension button to set the settings for the C Compiler.
  4. Click on the Extension button and scroll the drop-down box to select the Run Code Configuration.
  5. Now scroll the right-side pane and Tick on the Run In Terminal.
  6. Go to the c and again execute the program by clicking on the Run, it produces the following results, as shown below.
