I've got a solution (let's call it A) with a project in it that throws out a nuget package.
This nuget package is consumed in a bunch of projects that are in a different solution (let's call it B).
Is there an easy way for me to get Rider to check for references in B whilst I'm working with A?
I'm trying to check what methods in A are used where to see if I can easily rip some stuff out. Unfortunately, I can't easily just do a find on the method names because there's a lot of overloading and I only care about some versions.
Emails with Jetbrains Customer Support indicate this is currently not possible:
If you're referring to a case where you would have a single instance of Rider open and you'd be able to search for usages of symbols in another solution - regrettably, it's not possible at the moment. We have a feature request to allow having multiple solutions open in a single "project": RIDER-10495 Having multiple solutions in a project. Implementing this request would allow searching usages across multiple solutions. Feel free to upvote this request and click Watch to subscribe to status updates. For the time being, I can suggest the following steps to find usages of a specific signature of an overloaded method:
Open the solution that uses the NuGet package Navigate to the corresponding assembly in the solution Locate the method with the required signature in the decompiled code Invoke Find Usages on the methodPlease see the attached screenshot for reference. Let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great day!
However, there is an open feature request.
