Typemock does not disable when selecting "Tools - Disab

CLR Profiler loads when the process starts so if your test framework or application already loaded/running the changes (diable/enable) won't be applied until you restart the application or test framework.

Just to clarify by Application I mean the currently debugged code not Visual Studio.

What kind of application are you running?

"CLR Profiler loads when the process starts "

Aha! That lead me to discover the cause: Project - Properties - "Enable the Visual Studio hosting process" (This is happening on a WPF application, but I assume it will happen on anything.)

If I uncheck that box, then the change takes effect immediately.

Ideally, I would want it enabled only when running a unit test. Is that possible?

All you need to do is to close the running application so that the changes take effect. I'm not sure about WPF but in most vs project that step was not needed

The application is not running when this happens. I also noticed two other things:

1) Visual Studio does not remember the setting. If I disable typemock, then exit Visual Studio, then run Visual Studio again - typemock is enabled.
2) On a coworker's computer, Typemock prompts the user when you toggle this setting. The prompt asks if TypeMock should automatically end the visual studio hosting process. This message does not appear on my box.

it will only ask the user about closing processes if they are indeed detected.
it looks for, among others "vstesthost.exe"

it either does not find it, or you are using an older version of isolator that does not contain this feature.

which version do you have installed?

what VS version are you using?

can you verify you are running devenv.exe with admin privileges?

Visual Studio 2008 SP 1
TypemockIsolatorSetup531.msi

The visual studio hosting process is running right now, and it is named ProjectName.vshost.exe.

Is your application running when you disable Isolator?

No, the application is not running.

Let me clarify the situation:
I have a solution which contains various library projects, several unit test projects, and one single executable application project I'll call "MyApplication". The "Enable the Visual Studio hosting process" box is checked on the executable application project.

As soon as I open the solution file, Visual Studio automatically runs "MyApplication.vshost.exe" and I believe it attaches the CLR profiler to that EXE. At this point, my answer to your question is "No, the application is not running."

However, I believe that this point is causing the confusion. From the developer's point of view, I am not running the application. But from Visual Studio's standpoint, the host is running and the CLR profiler is attached. So for "Disable TypeMock Isolator" to work, "MyApplication.vshost.exe" must be restarted.

Does this clarify things? I think, to make this menu option take effect immediately, the add-in needs to find the MyApplication.vshost.exe and restart it.

Hi,

Thanks for the clarification.

In order to restart Isolator the process must be restarted. When disabling Typemock Isolator it looks for test runners and terminates them.

Since your application starts out of test runner context you have to restart it in order to make it run with disabled Isolator.

Best Regards,

Is there a registry key to disable TypeMock by default? So long as TypeMock is installed, I really can't do "normal" development without extra steps.

Every time I open Visual Studio, TypeMock reverts back to "Enable TypeMock Isolator." So I must disable it, then run my program twice. Only after that am I able to get back to running and debugging an application normally. And if I exit Visual Studio, or if it crashes, I have to do it all over again. Since I am working on software with a significant startup time, and since the CLR profiler really really slows down the app, I spend several minutes getting things back to a state where I can run and debug again.

TypeMock should default to disabled, and should only enable when running a unit test. Most of my time is not spent working on unit tests (well, not yet) so defaulting this to "enabled" is counter-productive.
