ReSharper | Help | Report a Bug or Submit Feedback

Your feedback is very important for ReSharper development team. Therefore, besides of what is mentioned in the Troubleshooting topic, other ways of providing feedback are integrated into ReSharper:

  • Anonymous usage statistic, that helps us identify the most popular product features, evaluate average software and hardware configurations, and so on. By default, this option is disabled, To enable it, tick the Participate anonymously in the Feedback program checkbox on the Environment | Product Feedback page of ReSharper options (Alt+R, O).

    The usage statistic is anonymous and fully GDPR-compliant. It is sent automatically in the background and does not impact the performance.

  • Report a problem right from the product UI. This way you can quickly create a ticket in the ReSharper's support portal or issue tracker with necessary attachments.

  • Send general feedback about ReSharper to the product team right from the product UI.

In addition to textual information, you can send us some technical data. There is a number of different attachments that you can include in the report:

  • Current file - a file which is open and active in Visual Studio

  • File - any file from your file system that will help us understand your problem

  • Solution statistics - some information about your current solution such as the number of projects, their types, number of files and their types, average source file size, and so on.

  • Settings - a file with ReSharper settings

  • Zipped solution - current solution that will be packed into a .zip package

  • Obfuscated solution structure - the structure of your current solution with empty files and random names

  • Performance snapshot - a snapshot with performance data gathered by ReSharper via dotTrace

  • Screenshot

    • Screenshot - a screenshot of the entire screen, if you have a single monitor

    • Screenshot of primary screen or Screenshot of all screens - if you have multiple monitors

By default, each report contains environment information about the current Visual Studio instance: its version, the list of installed products with their versions, and the list of .NET Framework versions.

Privacy

All attachments are visible to the ReSharper team only. In addition to this, some of them are obfuscated: Solution statistics and Solution structure. This means that at the moment of their creation all names of files, projects, and the solution are replaced with random names, file content is removed as well as references to external sources and assemblies. In case you want to send us files and solutions with real source code, choose Current file or Zipped solution.

If you have doubts about the content of attachments you are going to send, open any attachment using the context menu and see what's inside.
