User says:
November 25, 2017This EAP seems to be removing some keymaps, most notably the netbeans one. Is that intentional? Is there a workaround?
Kirill says:
November 27, 2017Also Eclipse. Would be nice to have them back.
Stelios says:
November 27, 2017And EMACS as well. I’ve created an issue here https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-11665
Feel free to vote for it.
NN says:
November 25, 2017Are there any plans to fix TypeScript support bugs like https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RSRP-465302 and others ?
Alexander Kurakin says:
November 27, 2017Are you experiencing this issue in Rider too, not only in ReSharper? Rider uses WebStorm engine to work with TypeScript, so that shouldn’t be relevant for Rider.
Mark says:
November 27, 2017I’ve noticed there’s a Run x with coverage… button appearing on the toolbar, but disabled. Sign of things to come?
Alexander Kurakin says:
November 28, 2017“Run X with coverage” comes from WebStorm and mostly applicable for Jasmine tests using Karma framework.
Stelios says:
December 5, 2017Hello Alexander,
Hang on a second because I think I don’t understand: how does WebStorm is connected with the ability to run unit tests with code coverage? I came to ask the same thing, when will code coverage be available. And now I read this comment and I am more confused.
Alexander Kurakin says:
December 25, 2017Sorry for the delay in replying you. All javascript support in Rider comes from WebStorm. WebStorm supports running karma tests with coverage https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/karma.html#ws_karma_code_coverage. The icon you see next to “Run/Debug tests” ones is a part of the WebStorm integration. Unfortunately, the icon exists even if your tests have nothing related to JavaScript.

November 30, 2017When will we be able to do WebDeploy publishing through Rider?
Kirill Skrygan says:
November 30, 2017Hi!
We are planning to do this for the 2018.1 release.
Ben Holtzman says:
December 1, 2017Is there or will there be some kind of Visual Studio designer equivalent in Rider?
