Reqnroll v3.3 released with improved build performance and formatter enhancements

Dec 17, 2025

Reqnroll v3.3 has been released, bringing improved build performance, enhanced formatter configuration options, and support for linked feature files.

This release focuses on build optimization, better file handling flexibility, and improved compatibility with the latest testing frameworks.

What’s new in v3.3

Improved build performance: Up-to-date checking for feature files has been improved, resulting in faster builds. Code-behind files are now deleted on clean or rebuild for better incremental build support.
Intermediate output folder support: Feature code-behind files can now be stored in the intermediate output folder (obj folder) by setting the ReqnrollUseIntermediateOutputPathForCodeBehind MSBuild property to true.
Linked feature files support: Reqnroll now supports linked feature files (files used from outside of the project folder). The ReqnrollUseIntermediateOutputPathForCodeBehind flag must be enabled to use this feature.
Formatter variable substitution: Formatters’ configured OutputFilePath can now contain variable substitution parameters for build metadata, timestamp, and environment variables. See the formatter configuration documentation for details.
Updated testing framework support: NUnit dependencies are updated to v4.4.0 in templates, and TUnit integration now supports TUnit v1.3.25 and .NET 10 SDK compatibility.
Updated Cucumber integrations: Cucumber.HtmlFormatter updated to version 22 to support HTML reports on non-https URLs, and Cucumber.Messages updated to version 30.
Improved packaging: Reqnroll NuGet packages have been improved for better quality and compatibility.
Updated behavior: NotImplementedException thrown by tests is no longer treated as a “pending” outcome, reverting to v2 behavior.

This release also includes several bug fixes related to stability and error handling.

For a complete list of all changes, please see the v3.3.0 changelog on GitHub.
