I’m using VS2010, and yesterday I edited the Local.testsetting file (added a deployment item) and checked it in to TFS. Now I can see it in the TFS as a solution item, but when accessing Test-> Edit Test Settings I see a grayed out “no test settings available”.
Any idea how to get my local setting back?
Open up the solution/project containing the Local.testsetting file. What happened is you simply closed out the project or solution and it is no longer in scope inside VS. The simple act of adding a file to the deployment item would not cause it to be grayed out. To verify this you can edit it again and remove that file.
All VS Menu’s are context sensitive- a message saying “No Test Settings Available” is expected when the project/solution isn’t open.
