  1. Rider freezes UI very often when combined with NCrunch

    @TimVisma: I'm hopeful we may be on to something here. The second stack trace here points towards something NCrunch shouldn't really be doing with this frequency, and it's a prime suspect. The good news is that I can redesign this area of code to more or less eliminate the potential concern. …

  2. Rider freezes UI very often when combined with NCrunch

    Can you confirm whether you're able to crash this every time using the steps to reproduce you've described? (As per my usual luck, I can't get it to happen). The [url=https://forum.ncrunch.net/yaf_postst3609_NCrunch-5-15-0-4-crashes-my-VS-17-14-7-again-and-again-and-again.aspx]thread referenced …

  3. Rider freezes UI very often when combined with NCrunch

    Thanks for sharing this. Do you have more than one monitor, and differing DPI settings between them? It looks a lot like [url=https://forum.ncrunch.net/yaf_postst3609_NCrunch-5-15-0-4-crashes-my-VS-17-14-7-again-and-again-and-again.aspx]this issue[/url] rather than the random freezes (I am certa…

  4. .net 10 + xunit 3 + visual studio insiders fails with .net 3.5 error

    Hi, thanks for sharing this. NCrunch does support VS2026 (in a preview state), but work for .NET 10 is still in progress. Probably it will be out with the next version of NCrunch.

  5. MSTest 4.0.0

    Hi, thanks for posting. MSTest V4 isn't supported yet. Some work is needed before NCrunch can handle it. I recommend staying on v3.11 for the time being.

  6. NCrunch 5.15.0.4 crashes my VS 17.14.7 again and again and again...

    Ok, I think I've made some progress on this issue. I've managed to reproduce some DPI scaling related issues around the scrollbar, and although I still can't get it to eat the whole window and crash the IDE, I think there's a good chance that it's all coming from there. The scrollbar is the sing…

  7. Rider freezes UI very often when combined with NCrunch

    [quote=TimVisma;18387] My colleagues are running also with Rider. As far as I know they don't have any other crazy configurations, but I'll meet again next week to discuss this. By the way, it is often more annoying when I have multiple solutions open to work on.[/quote] Thanks. I'm continui…

  8. NCrunch 5.15.0.4 crashes my VS 17.14.7 again and again and again...

    Can you confirm if you have the DPI scaling set differently between your screens? Also, can you try turning off the 'Optimize rendering for screens with different pixel densities' setting in your Visual Studio settings? (Tools->Options->Environment->General)

  9. NCrunch 5.15.0.4 crashes my VS 17.14.7 again and again and again...

    [quote=arkiaconsulting;18382]You're probably right. And I must mention that I'm not using VS onto the main laptop display, but on a separate wide screen.[/quote] Before I get you this build, could you check your 'Text output font' setting in your NCrunch configuration and let me know what it's se…

  10. NCrunch 5.15.0.4 crashes my VS 17.14.7 again and again and again...

    Thanks for these details. I'm going to try and get you a diagnostic build to assess some of the data related to the UI. I think that the platform isn't exposing correct sizing details on your system. I'll let you know as soon as I have it available.

  11. NCrunch 5.15.0.4 crashes my VS 17.14.7 again and again and again...

    [quote=arkiaconsulting;18378]No freeze until this morning. But we lost the trace output. Relaunching VS make it appear again, but it becomes quickly empty.[/quote] Ok, I was kind of expecting something like this, as the only way I could see that routine crashing the IDE is if some critical input …

  12. NCrunch 5.15.0.4 crashes my VS 17.14.7 again and again and again...

    I've implemented a number of changes to the way the tests window text output updates itself in response to WM_RESIZE messages. I'm hopeful that this will solve the immediate crash issue, though I'm less confident it will solve everything. I still can't reproduce the issue you're encountering, and …

  13. Tests never run: Pending, Prioritized, Impacted

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue and taking the time to give NCrunch a try. There are some configuration settings that can do this. Check the following: - In the Distributed Processing Window, make sure the local processor is enabled - Make sure the 'Max number of processing threads' is set…

  14. NCrunch 5.15.0.4 crashes my VS 17.14.7 again and again and again...

    Thanks for sending through the trace. This confirms that my timer fix wasn't sufficient to resolve the problem. I'll try implementing another fix and will aim to get you a new build early next week. Sorry for the trouble.

  15. NCrunch has encountered an internal error: System.Exception: System.IO.PathTooLongException

    Sorry to hear that. In this case, the only option remaining is to try and find a way to reduce the length of the path. It looks like the main culprit is a temporary file being used by the build system under your 'obj' directory. Changing the intermediate output path for the project might allow …

  16. NCrunch 5.15.0.4 crashes my VS 17.14.7 again and again and again...

    Thanks. To further progress with this, I really need the stack trace at the time of crash. Currently, I'm still unable to reproduce this problem. I think it's specific to something on your system.

  17. Rider: NCrunch is stealing Keystrokes... again

    Thanks. Please let me know if you find a way to reproduce it.

  18. NCrunch has encountered an internal error: System.Exception: System.IO.PathTooLongException

    Hi, thanks for sharing this. Unfortunately long path support is not reliable through the platform as a whole, so we have no way to fully support it under NCrunch. I recommend moving your workspace closer to the disk root. Try changing your workspace base path (currently 'C:\_NCrunchWorkspaces…

  19. NCrunch 2026 Client About v5.18.0.2 Wrong Typo/Update

    Hi, thanks for the heads up on this. I'll see that it gets fixed in the next build.

  20. Rider: NCrunch is stealing Keystrokes... again

    Thanks for sharing this issue. Is this something you can reproduce on demand? Do you experience it also with other tool windows? Is there any correlation with the attachment state of the tool window? (i.e. does it only happen when it's detached from the IDE?)
