  1. "Unable to write to file while transferring snapshot to node: some-nuget-package-dll"

    Hi Olaf, Thanks for sharing this issue. The problem here is that NCrunch is attempting to update the binary of a Nuget package while test runner processes are working on the grid node and making use of the same package. For NCrunch to be updating these package DLLs while they are in use, ther…

  2. Error on conditional breakpoint

    Hi, thanks for sharing this problem. NCrunch's instrumentation rebuilds the PDBs, and sometimes this can do odd things with the debugger. Can you confirm if you're able to access the 'projectionYear.Year' value using the immediate window in your debugger when you're stopped in the context of t…

  3. Additional NCrunch Build Properties

    [quote=robmen;12762] Hmm, I don't see ProjectName or ProjectFileName being set outside of NCrunch. In my prototypical project, I manually [dead link] so I can use ProjectName consistently everywhere. I always thought it was interesting you called the value "ProjectName" and not "NCrunchOriginalProj…

  4. Additional NCrunch Build Properties

    Hi, thanks for posting. It's possible now to see a list of all the properties NCrunch injects into your build system by setting your 'Log Verbosity' setting to 'Detailed', then examining one of your build tasks in the processing queue. Around all the other trace data, you'll find a small section…

  5. Can I exclude certain files from the NCrunch Metrics based on filename pattern?

    Hi Peter, Thanks for posting! There's no feature in NCrunch that lets you exclude coverage from files based on a wildcard. You're welcome to [dead link] if you like. Right now the exclusions are only handled through the toolbar options on the Metrics Window. The only other option I can th…

  6. NCrunch Console Invalid Cast

    Thanks for your patience with this issue. We've introduced a [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/download]fix for this in the just released v3.22[/url].

  7. 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…

  8. 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…

  9. NCrunch Console Invalid Cast

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

  10. 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.

  11. 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…

  12. 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…

  13. 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 …

  14. 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…

  15. 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…

  16. 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.

  17. 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 …

  18. 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…

  19. 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?

  20. 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…
