Specflow: Installed SpecFlow via NuGet but it does not show up in Visual Studio 2010

Created on 26 Mar 2013 · 5Comments · Source: SpecFlowOSS/SpecFlow

When I add a reference via NuGet to Specflow 1.9, I cannot add any features no matter what I do. I've restarted VS, restarted my PC, created new projects, etc. Nothing I do allows me to actually use SpecFlow. I.e. when I go to Project > Add New Item, I do not see any SpecFlow files in the Add New Item dialog. This is terribly frustrating and I've already spent about 2 hours trying everything I can think of to get this to work.

Did you install the specflow extension (tools -> extension manager) as well or only added the dll's to the project?

It is worth noting - after I have ready many other posts - that I do not have the "ItemTemplates" directory supposedly should exist here:
"C:\Program Files (x86)TechTalkSpecFlow\"

It is also worth noting that I had Visual Studio 2012 Web Express installed, but I'm not sure why that would prevent feature files from showing up under Add > New Item in a VS 2010 project!

Was there a solution to this? I am trying to use SpecFlow but once I downloaded the the packages I still could not add a feature file
