How to enable mighty moose (continuoustests) in visual studio 2013?

continuous-testing, mightymoose, unit-testing, visual-studio-2013

Solution

I tried the following:

- Install Mighty Moose

- copy the `C:\Program Files (x86)\ContinuousTests\AutoTest.VS.2012.Addin` to `C:\Program Files (x86)\ContinuousTests\AutoTest.VS.2013.Addin`

- Edit the 2013 file and update the version numbers from `11.0` to `12.0`

- Alternatively: drop the following file: `AutoTest.VS.2013.Addin` in your MightyMoose installation folder.

- In Visual Studio open the Tools - Options - Environment - Add-in Security page and add `C:\Program Files (x86)\ContinuousTests` to the list of trusted add-in paths.

- Restart Visual Studio

This seems to do the trick for me. Not sure if there are any issues with this, as I haven't played around with it too much. I had Visual Studio 2010, 2012 and 2013 installed side-by-side, so I didn't have to trick the installer into believing that there is a suitable version of Visual Studio anywhere.

Problem

The question pretty much tells it all. Continoustests comes as a windows installer (http://continuoustests.com/download.html), so the trick described here doesn't work.
