How do i stop visual studio 2017 from building on save


I am unsure what has happened, but i restarted my VS2017 Enterprise and it has been building the entire solution each time i save. I have tried going into Tools > Options but i cannot figure out where the option to disable this is. I also have ReSharper installed. Not sure if that is the issue.


Solution

  • I think you have Continuous Testing enabled via ReSharper. In particular, it is configured to On 'Save' Build and...

    To disable it, go to the menu option ReSharper->Unit Tests->Continuous Testing

    And then select the option you desire from the Mode drop down on the popup window toolbar
