  2. Console tool with grid, slow nodes

    Hi, thanks for posting! I'm not sure how long a normal test run is for you, but at a glance this report does look normal. I'll try to explain the delays I'm seeing and you may be able to confirm whether my explanation makes sense for your situation. NCrunch won't connect to the grid nodes unt…

  3. Churn mode keeps restarting test process

    Hi, Yes, this is intentional. Every time a test task is queued by churn mode, there is a small percentage chance (I think 5% or something like that) of the process being recycled. This is to ensure that churn mode properly churns out sequence related issues that wouldn't show up if test proce…

  4. NCrunch Console Invalid Cast

    Thanks, can you confirm if you installed the console tool using the MSI or the ZIP?

  5. NCrunch Console Invalid Cast

    Thanks, we'll try digging a bit more to see if we can get this to happen on our end. We'll let you know as soon as we have more information.

  6. Test Fails in nCrunch but not VS Test Runner

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. I've managed to reproduce it as per your instructions. Here are my observations: - The problem does not appear under versions of .NET prior to v4.7.2, so it is newly introduced - When running the Xunit test using the Xunit console runner (not the VS-based o…

  7. NCrunch Console Invalid Cast

    I have a feeling there is an environmental component to this. Can you check if you can use the same version of the console tool on the same solution on any of the other machines in your network? (i.e. a dev machine). v3.21 of NCrunch was very limited in its functional changes. It includes no ne…

  8. NCrunch Console Invalid Cast

    Hi, thanks for sharing this problem. I've just double-checked the ZIP download for v3.21 of the NCrunch Console tool. I could not reproduce this problem. By chance, do you have a directory comparison tool like Kdiff3 available? It would be interesting to perform a comparison of the ZIP file …

  9. Churn mode caused Visual Studio to lockup?

    [quote=fourpastmidnight;12736]I'm not sure if I can reproduce it at will. I know I had been running VS for many days with the same solution open, as well as I hadn't rebooted in 26 days[/quote] I'm seriously impressed that you managed to run a workstation for 26 days without a reboot. System sta…

  10. Churn mode caused Visual Studio to lockup?

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Can you reproduce this at will? If so, I'm wondering if it still happens with all the NCrunch tool windows closed. The only real interaction churn mode has with the IDE is the updating of test status values while they run in the background. If you're chur…

  11. NCrunch 3.14 doesn't appear in VS2017

    I'm sorry to hear that. Over 70% of the time and effort spent on the product (plus all of 2017) goes into keeping it updated with Microsoft's shifting sands. If we didn't charge for such a service, there would be no business and no NCrunch.

  12. NullReferenceException from TestPipelineManager

    Thanks for the extra details. This will help me to track down the problem. Meanwhile, I would definitely suggest having a different cache file for each build. Cross-talk between the builds can result in all kinds of efficiency issues. The command-line configuration setting names are the same …

  13. NullReferenceException from TestPipelineManager

    Can you confirm if you have any of the following? - Multi-targeted projects - Projects that have been ignored by NCrunch using the 'Ignore this component completely' setting - A NCrunch cache file/location that is used by more than one solution (.sln) - Any projects that might be routinely rem…

  14. NullReferenceException from TestPipelineManager

    Hi, thanks for sharing these issues. These problems look to be downstream issues caused by corruption of NCrunch's .cache file. Does wiping out your cache file on the TeamCity server resolve them?

  15. NCrunch 3.14 doesn't appear in VS2017

    Hi Dan, Thanks for sharing this issue. It's been 6 months since v3.14 was released, and we've put out 6 more versions since then to address compatibility issues caused by changes in the platform. Sadly, in terms of VS/Platform changes, 6 months is now an eternity. We've seen several major re…

  16. `project.assets.json' not found. Run a NuGet package restore to generate this file.

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. The problem here is being caused by the Directory.build.props file in the solution's root directory. This file overrides the BaseIntermediateOutputPath to a file that is derived from the project's file name. This interferes with NCrunch's ability to load the p…

  17. XUnit simple VS 2017 Project failed to Build

    Thanks Mirco. I've tipped MS off about this problem. Hopefully they'll be able to address it. Don't worry about the VM. Now that we can produce it at will using the NUGET_PACKAGES setting, we have everything we need here.

  18. XUnit simple VS 2017 Project failed to Build

    Ok, just confirming that I've now reproduced the issue at my end by redirecting my Nuget packages directory to a path containing an umlaut. I couldn't get this to fail under VS15.7. Only VS15.8. So probably it's a new regression in VS/MSBuild itself. The problem seems to be conditional on MSBuil…

  19. XUnit simple VS 2017 Project failed to Build

    Thanks for the extra log. Could you please try the following steps? - Close your VS - Open your local environment variable settings, create a new environment variable under the name 'NUGET_PACKAGES', set the value to 'C:\MyNugetPackages' or somewhere similar outside your local user profile di…
