  1. Remote server: Allow running test on a specific server without changing NCrunch config

    [quote=Remco;5533]Where tasks are queued using any other way, the processes will be re-used between tasks.[/quote] Ok sounds good to me. [quote=Remco;5533]Considering your use case, I'm wondering if you can share any details on your reasoning behind using the 'Run tests on server' so frequentl…

  2. Remote server: Allow running test on a specific server without changing NCrunch config

    [quote=Remco;5266]NCrunch will instantiate a new test runner process when told to run the tests on a specific server. It's rare that people want to re-use old processes, so the decision was made to try and keep the options as simple as possible.[/quote] I am experiencing pretty slow running time…

  3. Select current test in test window without unpin/pin it?

    How about refocusing it if pinning it when it is already pinned?

  4. Select current test in test window without unpin/pin it?

    v2.6.0.3 I would like a way to focus the current test in the tests window. Now I need to unpin/pin it to get it focused (which I guess might also rerun it if "only pinned" tests are to be run automatically?). Thanks.

  5. Remote server: Not cleaning up old ncrunch grid node data when changing grid configuration paths.

    v2.6.0.3 When I change the workspace paths for the grid node configuration, it restarts the service but does not seem to cleanup the old path used? (I need to do this manually)

  6. Remote server: Cannot use semicolon (";") in custom environment variable value.

    [quote=Remco;5518]Yes - this makes sense. I'll need to change the delimiter to something else. Thanks for reporting this.[/quote] (maybe "escaping" delimiter character in values before storing is more foolproof)

  7. Remote server: Cannot use semicolon (";") in custom environment variable value.

    I try to define an sql connection string as a custom environment variable but it keeps removing items after ";" after a while. (Looking in globalconfig.crunch.xml it seems ";" is reserved as a token delimiter).

  8. Remote server: Cannot clear value of "snapshot storage directory"

    minor issue: I seem to have entered custom dir to snapshot directory when I really wanted to change workspace base path. Doc says "When this setting is left blank, NCrunch will store snapshots adjacent to workspaces" but I can't seem to re-set it to "blank". (workaround is simple enough to explic…

  9. Remote server: Devvenv.exe choked (when receiving data from grid node server?)

    My vstudio 2012 choked cpu for some minutes or so and was unresponsive (I was focusing on some web stuff and only noticed it when I toggled back to vstudio). The below stack trace shows the cpu consumption used. Is this expected behavior? [quote] > System.dll!System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Receive(b…

  10. Enable custom env. variables to be set on remote servers

    Input 1) [quote] It might be tidier to make this solution-specific, but NCrunch's current solution&user-specific state is not designed for handling persistent configuration yet ... so it would need to be global. I'll look into it :)[/quote] The problem I have with global is that I have multipl…

  11. Remote server: "Custom Environent Variables" is not persisting values after restart

    v2.5.0.12 I try to test out the custom environment variables feature but the name and values are wiped as soon as I restart vstudio 2012.

  12. Remote server: More user friendly "Custom environment variables" dialog

    * Adding a new entry with same name does not replace existing * I expected double clicking on existing entry to "clone" it in Name/Value so I can easily change its value (or any other means change its value without retyping the whole name) * It does not seem to work well if my user in Window defin…

  13. Remote server: Remember disconnected servers when reopening solution.

    v2.4.0.2 I would like my disconnected servers to stay disconnected until I tell NCrunch to connect, even if I am restarting vstudio etc. Currently disconnected servers are connected when reopening the solution. (It would be nice with a click to suspend/enable remote servers, e.g. when working …

  14. Remote server: Allow running test on a specific server without changing NCrunch config

    Ah right thanks, I was looking in the NCrunch->Under cursor menu, maybe it is missing from there? Some minor inputs: 1) I would appreciate a shortcut key (similar to &Advanced) so I can select it quickly via Ctrl+M,S,context key. 2) Does this selection mean that the server will instantiate a ne…

  15. Remote server: Add confirm box when removing a server

    It's easy to accidentally click the "remove server" when really wanting to click "edit server" (at least it happened to me :)). Since settings for the remote server is "wiped" I would appreciate a confirm dialog when removing a server from the remote server list so I don't accidentally remove it.

  16. Remote server: Allow running test on a specific server without changing NCrunch config

    Scenario: I have a specific test which is used to reset and setup the test database. This test is ignored by default via application setting to avoid accidental reset of the db (and is only needed to be run if db schema changes). Thus, to ensure I have a properly set up db on the remote servers, I…

  17. Enable custom env. variables to be set on remote servers

    [quote=Remco;5257][quote=GreenMoose;5254] But not for the grid node server AFACT? Wouldn't custom env. variables for each server be a quite natural fit for customizing behavior of them? (comparing with e.g. TeamCity and its build parameters options) [/quote] It's definitely true that there is m…

  18. Custom engine modes on remote server

    Yes that seems like an acceptable way of handling it. Will test it out later. [quote=Remco]Or is the issue that you want this behaviour to be easily adjustable? (i.e. at the flick of a switch).[/quote] No, not as of today at least :). Thanks.

  19. Custom engine modes on remote server

    Hi. It would be nice if I could select a specific engine mode which the remote server should run under. Example: I have 1 engine mode for long running performance tests. I have 1 remote server. I would like the remote server to e.g. run impacted long running tests to spot issues early, b…

  20. Enable custom env. variables to be set on remote servers

    [quote=Remco;5247]For example, if 'Bob' is logged into the client machine, and he uses Grid Node X, then there would be an environment variable '%NCrunch.UserName%' which would be set to 'Bob' on both his client machine and Grid Node X, inside each build/test process. [/quote] That means we have t…
