Unable to see Intellitest dropdown in Visual Studio 2022

Question

TL&DR
Running Visual Studio Enterprise 2022 for Windows 10 Home [See ScreenShot]
Created Library for Dotnet 6 (ClassLibrary2)
Created Library Test for Dotnet 6 (ClassLibrary2Tests)
No Intellitest Drop Down

Dear Internet,

I am so frustrated. I have spent literally 3 days working on getting the IntelliTest Dropdown to Show in Visual Studio Enterprise 2022. To make any potential help more useful, I have uploaded screenshots to prove I am not crazy and being honest.

1. VisualStudioVersion shows the current Visual Studio being Run
2. classLibraryPicture shows the overall directory structure of the Class being Tested and the Test
3. Details ScreenShot of No Drop Down when Trying to Add Unit Tests

I don't understand what I am doing wrong?

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

<PropertyGroup>

Hello @Vic Jay ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

I notice that you are using .NET 6.0. Actually, IntelliTest supports only C# code that targets the .NET Framework, not .NET Core/.NET. Please kindly check this document: Availability and extensions for details.

So, currently IntelliTest doesn’t support project which targets .NET, and you will not see this option, I’m afraid. But good news is it’s on roadmap, see this ticket: Add IntelliTest support for .NET Core/Standard.

Feel free to contact us.

Best Regards,
Tianyu
