VS2026 - "Create Unit Tests" Removed In Favor of Copilot AI Waste
While this may have been posted previously, I do not care. I will post it again because it is annoying enough to do so.
https://github.com/dotnet/docs/issues/50269
To push people to unnecessarily use AI, Microsoft has removed their previous, simple and effective scaffolding tools for test creation. Previously, you could simply right click on a method and choose 'Create Unit Tests'. It would launch an easy to use scaffolding tool and put it all in place for you.
It was removed for one reason. To push people to use Copilot instead of writing code themselves.
So, instead of a standard scaffolding option, requests will now be sent to an AI data center which uses unnecessary resources for no reason whatsoever. I use AI for coding like most programmers, but it is ridiculous to remove completed features in an attempt to push everyone towards using AI when it is not needed.
It is certainly easy enough to create these tests manually, but it is just another example of making products worse for the sake of using AI unnecessarily.
