ReSharper isn't able to resolve Razor

Question

I have an ASP.NET MVC 3 Solution within Visual Studio 2010 Premium with Service Pack 1.

In the Web.Config my ReSharper Version (Build 5.1.3000.12) isn't able to resolve System.Web.WebPages.Razor.*

For example

<sectionGroup name="system.web.webPages.razor"
    type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.RazorWebSectionGroup,
    System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
    PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">

lets ReSharper mark the error Cannot resolve symbol 'Razor' and error Invalid module qualification: Failed to resolve assembly System.Web.WebPages.Razor

But all views (*.cshtml) are working fine and ReSharper doesn't mark errors there. Also under References I included System.Web.Razor. This errors also appeared with Visual Studio Premium without Service Pack 1. I'm getting this errors even if I create a new MVC 3 Project out of Visual Studio.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer 1

Resharper 5.1 doesn't support Razor, 6.0 will. You can download and use the nightly builds if you like, but they can be somewhat unstable. Use at your own risk.

Answer 2

As others have cited, this is a feature not a bug ;-)

If you would like to avoid annoyance with these errors, you may right click "web.config" in the "Errors in Solution" window (ReSharper -> Windows -> Solution Errors Window) and choose "Ignore Errors." Then they won't bug you any more.

Another plug for the ReSharper EAP program, I used it with 5.0+ and found it to be a reasonable way to get the latest and greatest. As others have said, your stability mileage may vary as these are nightly builds.
