Hi Remco,

(I've submitted a bug report on it but I got a message stating that this failed, so I post it here as well.)

I created a helper assembly that contains some spaces in its name ("MiKoSolutions.Aspects TestHelpers").

Now, when NCrunch 2.9.0.3 tries to compile, it does not succeed.
As soon as I change the name and remove the whitespace (eg. replace by a dot), NCrunch can compile the project. If I change it back, NCrunch fails on compilation again.

Hi Remco,
I think I am facing the same issue as Ralf but Ralf's renaming solution didn't work for me. My VS solution has 6 projects in it most of which have spaces in there names and in the names of the files they contain but NCrunch is only complaining about one of the projects. I did what Ralf suggested and renamed all the projects substituting periods for spaces, still no go so I renamed the files in the projects removing the spaces, still the same issue. I cleaned and rebuilt the project then I selected the 'Reload and rebuild selected component' from the NCrunch Tests window context menu. I then run the configuration wizard from the NCrunch menu, still the same issue. I then went through and removed all the .NCrunchsolution and .NCrunchproject files and the _NCrunch_{project name} folder, closed VS then re-opened VS, re-opened my solution and selected 'Enable NCrunch' from the menu. The new solution wizard ran but I still have the same issue.

While I was deleting the .NCrunchproject files I noticed that in some folders there were sometimes multiple .NCrunchproject files, if for example my project had been called 'My Project' at some point and I had renamed it to 'My.Project" the there would be two .NCrunchproject files one called 'My Project.NCrunchproject" and another called "My.Project.NCrunchproject".

I noticed that the stack trace reports that I have a public key token of null where I noticed that Ralf has a public key token. Also after everything I've done the file that the stack trace is reporting it can't find is reported with it's original name not it's renamed and correct name.

I would be happy to send you a copy of my VS solution so you can see the issue for yourself if that would help. I have included a copy of my stack trace below, and submitted a bug report a few days ago. If there is anything else I can do to help please let me know.

Thanks for your help Remco and thanks for NCrunch it's awesome.

Hi Remco,
No I didn't change the name of the output assemblies. To rename the projects and the files in them I just used the Rename context menu item from inside VS solution explorer.
