Hi, thanks for sharing this issue.

When NCrunch creates a process to execute MSBuild, it does so using a temporary file called 'MSBuildConfigVS2017.config'. This file can be found at C:\Users\[USER]\AppData\Local\NCrunch. It contains a number of binding redirections that force the build system to use the correct versions of the MSBuild assemblies, while also telling the CLR where to find these files.

The file is generated automatically based on your VS2017 install. Would you be able to share the contents of this file as it exists on your machine? The bindings in the file should point to your MSBuild assemblies as they exist in your VS2017 installation, i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\*

It would also be worth checking whether these files exist under the path the file thinks they're under.

Thanks for sharing these details.

Are there certain projects that seem to trigger this for you?

The binding redirections all look to be in order, so if the files exist in the referenced location, it isn't clear to me why the CLR would have trouble finding them.

Something worth trying is to turn on fusion logging to see if this traps any useful information for us.

This stack overflow answer explains how to turn on fusion logging: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/255669/how-to-enable-assembly-bind-failure-logging-fusion-in-net#1527249.

If you can get a fusion logging capture for me for the nCrunch.BuildHost46x.x86.exe when this happens, that would be really helpful.

Thanks! This helps a great deal. I think I have some idea of what may be going on here, but it isn't clear to me why this is showing up in your case but not in others.

Is there a specific VS project template that can surface this issue for you?

It's happening in one of my most complex projects. I can't share it with you, unfortunately - and it depends on other projects. The same solution and projects work perfectly in VS2015's NCrunch.
If there is anything else I can do to help you troubleshoot - let me know.

Ok, there may be something we can try here.

In your NCrunch for VS2017 installation directory you'll find a file, 'nCrunch.BuildHost462.x86.exe.config' (usually at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Remco Software\NCrunch for Visual Studio 2017).

I'm wondering if you could try copying the binding redirections from the MSBuildConfigVS2017.config file into this file. From the fusion logs, it looks like the binding issue is happening in the primary appdomain .. which isn't right, but if it's true, then this may work around the problem.

This fixes the problem, thanks a lot for your persistence. I hope my manually editing of the config file won't break something in the future :)

For your reference, here are the contents of original file...:

<?xml version ="1.0"?>

</configSections>

<enforceFIPSPolicy enabled="false"/>

That's great news! Thanks for confirming that this worked for you. I should be able to introduce a proper fix to this now.

NCrunch won't mind you manually editing the file, but installing any other version of the software will overwrite your changes. Hopefully v3.3 will include a fix anyway, so this may be the last you see of the problem.
