Month: 2024-11 | Repository: JetBrains/resharper-unity Overview: Focused on improving test configuration management to enhance test reliability and cross-version/platform maintainability. Implemented a targeted refactor in the rider-tests module to centralize and clarify test muting configurations, supporting easier adjustments across Unity versions and platforms. What was delivered: A major refactor that reorganizes test muting by moving muting annotations into the relevant test classes and their initialization blocks, consolidating muting logic in code rather than scattered across tests. This enables clearer muting rules, simpler updates, and better discoverability.
