A Visual Studio extension that reduces the hassle of using the official plugin tool, so it is much easier and faster to update plugins.
Features
- Register a plugin/step from inside Visual Studio
- Automatically builds the project before registering/updating the assembly
- Update multiple plugin/step assemblies at once
- Auto-name steps to be meaningful
- Filter messages to what the entity supports
- Prevent registering steps/images for unsupported configurations
- Automate assembly upgrade, which resolves missing WF Custom Step parameters on update
Guide
- Install the Visual Studio extension (here)
- Right-click a plugin project and choose 'register' or 'update'
