Which Verify.MSTest usings

[TomW-Skyline]

We are trying to use the Verify.MSTest NuGet package in a .NET 4.7.2 unit test project. After adding the latest version of the package to the project, we also added <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings> to the csproj file as described in the readme.

But unfortunally we keep getting the error that the "Verify()" method cannot be found. "The name Verify does not exist in the current context". In which class is this method defined? Are we missing some usings on top of the file? Which usings are required to use Verify in a .NET 4.7.2 project?

(question also asked on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73235687/verify-mstest-usings)

Add <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings> to the project

@SimonCropp thank you for the quick answer, but unfortunately we still cannot get it working. The same question remains: which using do we need to add in order to be able to use the "Verifier" class?
using VerifyMSTest doesn't work.

I've quickly created a repo that reproduces the problem here: https://github.com/TomW-Skyline/VerifyTest-Experiment

yep sorry. i forgot mstest requires a base class. see here https://github.com/VerifyTests/Verify#mstest

i did a PR for u https://github.com/TomW-Skyline/VerifyTest-Experiment/pull/1

@SimonCropp thank you! Had indeed overlooked the base class in the example.
What if the test class already has a base class?

What if the test class already has a base class?

then make that class be based on VerifyBase

Happy to accept a PR that adds a static API support for MSTest.
