  1. Please update supported frameworks to include .NET 10

    Yes, I was surprised to see this. I thought it had been updated with the release. Thanks for letting me know. I'll see that this gets fixed now.

  2. MCP Server - WaitForEngineWorkCompleted times out

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Most likely you have tasks that are hanging and not completing. Unfortunately the agent doesn't have a way to directly get the list of tests attached to a task that is hanging, but they are able to pull up a list of tests that are in a running state. If you ha…

  3. macOS and IpcConnectionClosedException

    Hi, There are no firm plans for this at the moment. The project was started in 2009, when the whole idea of a cross platform .NET seemed unthinkable, so it was never a design consideration. It's not impossible. It's just not something that I can commit to at this stage.

  5. xunit.v3.mtp-v2 update to v4.0.0 makes all tests to fail

    A fix for this has been included in the [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/download]v5.23 build[/url] that I've just pushed out now. Please give it a try and let me know if it solves the problem for you.

  6. xunit.v3.mtp-v2 update to v4.0.0 makes all tests to fail

    Thanks for letting me know about this. Based on your analysis, it looks like a breaking change and will most likely require an NCrunch update to fix. I'll let you know as soon as I have a solution available.

  7. Override NUnit settings

    I've done some more digging and confirmed that, unfortunately, when parallel attributes are in place, NCrunch cannot stop NUnit from using parallel features. This is a situation where no NCrunch configuration setting can save you. Somewhere you'll need to have actual logic in your code that chan…

  8. Override NUnit settings

    It's worth checking to see whether disabling parallel execution in NCrunch (via config setting) has any effect on this problem. It may be that the tests themselves are intermittently failing due to shared use of an external resource, so running them with Churn Mode might be useful to determine whet…

  9. Override NUnit settings

    Hi, thanks for sharing this. NCrunch sets 'NumberOfWorkers = 1' in NUnit parameters, which (from my understanding) is supposed to remove NUnit parallelization regardless of the attributes you've specified. Can you confirm that temporarily removing these attributes allows your tests to pass und…

  10. NCrunch 5.21.0.10 hangs when Risk/Progress window is visible

    [quote=DanielBengtsson;18880]Thanks. I understand. I am trying to use the tabs NCrunch Tests + NCrunch Processing Queues to quickly understand if all important test (after some editing) have been rerun and now are green (or they still are waiting to be run). Status Indicator Window gives a quicker …

  11. NCrunch 5.21.0.10 hangs when Risk/Progress window is visible

    [quote=DanielBengtsson;18878]Hi again! Now I have tested for some weeks. VS still freeze when having the status indicator window visible when loading a solution. When the solution have been fully loaded it is no problem showing the status indicator window. Hope these hints give a clue. [/quote] …

  12. The "ResolvePackageAssets" task failed unexpectedly.

    Hi, thanks for sharing this. The first thing you should check here is to try adjusting your [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_project-configuration_build-sdk]Build SDK[/url] configuration setting to set the SDK manually. An issue exists where MSBuild can sometimes resolve to…

  13. MCP server

    Hi, thanks for sharing this. Proper support for long file names in NCrunch is effectively impossible, because large areas of the underlying platform still don't support it. Something looks wrong with this file name. Does it exist under this name in your foreground solution too? It looks like…

  14. MCP server

    [quote=arkiaconsulting;18871]Question: once the MCP server is running on http, how can a client use the secret/password to authenticate ?[/quote] Sorry about this! It was supposed to be in the documentation. [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/tools_mcp-server]I've updated the MCP server…

  15. NCrunch & Claude Code on WSL

    I'm unfamiliar with the architecture you've described (with part of Rider on the host, and part in the container). Is the containerised part of it just the AI? Or is part of the Rider backend in there too? Right now we integrate with both the Rider frontend and backend, and IPC between them and t…

  16. License Server 5.22 Throwing Exceptions

    Thanks for the heads up here. v5.22 cleaned up the versioning for this dependency so that it was consistent. It wasn't supposed to affect the license server. Good job in finding a workaround. Note that the v5.21 license server is compatible as the licensing system hasn't changed. I'll note this…

  17. NCrunch & Claude Code on WSL

    [quote=Der-Albert.com;18864] The problem in this case is that NCrunch currently runs only under Windows. So the IDE cannot work inside because NCrunch and the IDE need access to the source code. So it would be possible to mount the code in the container, but then the file system performance would b…

  18. System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SNI.x86.dll'

    One way or another, this assembly needs to be accessible at runtime. Turning on 'Copy referenced assemblies to workspace' sets NCrunch in a compatibility mode so that runtime references get copied to the output directory, so that assembly referencing can work using the runtime's natural system. …

  19. System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'Microsoft.Data.SqlClient.SNI.x86.dll'

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. The answer to this depends heavily on the nature of your dependency on this binary. It may be enough to simply reference it directly from your test project, as this way NCrunch will have the dependency details for it and the assembly resolution should work bett…
