  1. NCrunch gone missing from VS 2017

    Probably there is a problem with the MSI in your environment. Try [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/download]downloading the ZIP[/url] instead and performing a [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/manual-installation-instructions]manual installation[/url].

  2. NCrunch Builds and 'Hangs'

    [quote=CodeAdze;12023]Hi Remco, I think I might have found what the problem is, it appears that it could be the ransomware protection inside my antivirus software which is weird as these two have been happily playing on the same box for ages now. I have turned the ransomware protection off and NCr…

  3. NCrunch Builds and 'Hangs'

    Hi, thanks for sharing this problem. Do you also experience this with other solutions? Or does it just affect the one solution you're using? Is this the first time NCrunch has been used on this solution? Or has it worked before? How large is this solution in approximate number of projects…

  4. Parallel Test Execution

    Hi Ed, Thanks for posting! When you say NCrunch won't show the test in the Tests Window, do you mean that the test is not completing its execution and the filters are hiding it? Or has the test somehow disappeared and is not being discovered? Are you able to share any more details around how…

  5. Inclusive test result when no suitable constructor was found? (parameterized test fixture)

    Hi, This area is under the control of NUnit. I guess NUnit's response to this situation is to consider the test as being inconclusive because it's constructor can't be called. I'm not sure if this is intentional on their part. I personally feel that NUnit should report this as an error. Unfor…

  6. NCrunch gone missing from VS 2017

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. This could be a VS caching issue of some kind. If you run "devenv.exe /setup" as an administrator (then wait for devenv to finish before starting VS), does this make any difference?

  7. NCrunch renders "escaped" text as test name?

    Hi, thanks for sharing this. This isn't a use case we're currently testing for, so it's hard for me to be certain how NCrunch would behave when fed escape sequences inside test names. There are multiple layers of complexity involved here, including the test framework itself. It's quite possible…

  8. xunit.runner.utility v2.2.0 "Unable to restore required Nuget packages..."

    [quote=GraemeF;12006]I've just spent some time investigating this (and ended up here...) - maybe the error message could be improved to make it clear that it isn't really a problem unless using Xunit? Also, more information about the failure might be useful so we can try to fix it! G.[/quote] …

  9. csproj targetFrameworks netstandard1.3;net461 gives error

    Thanks for the sample solution! Interestingly, this sample seems to work correctly in my own environment. So there must be an environmental component to this somewhere. If global.json is needed in your environment for the projects to build, it's possible that this file isn't being included in t…

  10. csproj targetFrameworks netstandard1.3;net461 gives error

    Are you able to reproduce this problem in a fresh sample project?

  11. csproj targetFrameworks netstandard1.3;net461 gives error

    Hi Richard, Thanks for posting. This looks like a project.assets.json refresh issue. This file is controlled by Visual Studio and sometimes when you make structural changes to your project, weird things can happen with it. Try the following: 1. Close Visual Studio 2. Go to your solution …

  12. Configuration errors in ncrunch solutions allowed by the UI

    That will work :) You can also inject configuration settings individually via the command line if they need to be different to your defaults.

  13. Configuration errors in ncrunch solutions allowed by the UI

    Hi, thanks for sharing this problem. This looks like you have may a difference in version between your commandline NCrunch and the one you're using in VS. Are the version numbers in alignment? Or is it possible you're attempting to load a solution configuration file using the '/C' command lin…

  14. Test-Group-Size

    Gotcha :) I'm not sure how this explains the behaviour you've seen with the grid node not running at full capacity though. Hopefully this is something that will resolve itself when everything has stabilised.

  15. Test-Group-Size

    [quote=GlobalConcepts;11975] I can reproduce the scenario on different machines. If it helps I can also send you a download link for the solution so maybe you can reproduce it on your machine.[/quote] If this is possible, it would make things much easier. It would take all the guesswork away. …

  16. .net core 2.0 and refence errors

    Hi, thanks for sharing this problem. This problem is in NCrunch's integration with the .NET Core platform. It's a limitation caused by the side-by-side versioning of NCrunch's .NET Core libraries (which are on .NET Core 1.0/1.1) with the .NET Core 2.0 environment. We've been looking at ways t…

  17. nCrunch for VS 2015 - Unable to process large number of tests

    Thanks for this. Are you able to produce sample code that reproduce this problem? Note that changing your NCrunch version will have a significant impact on the execution sequence of your tests. If you have a problem in your test environment that is dependent on the execution sequence or batchin…

  18. Test-Group-Size

    Hi Daniel, Sorry, without a way to reproduce this I'll need to send you a barrage of questions to help understand this behaviour: - Is there any pattern around which tests are failing to be grouped correctly? - Do these tests keep switching to the blue question mark in the Tests Window every …

  19. Test-Group-Size

    Hi Daniel, When NCrunch runs your tests for the first time, it doesn't have any knowledge of their normal execution times. So to prevent it getting hung up on big tests, it will tend to create small tasks with only 8 tests. Once the tests have been run, the engine will remember their normal e…

  20. nCrunch for VS 2015 - Unable to process large number of tests

    When the tests hang, are you able to attach the VS debugger to the running NCrunch test processes and inspect the state of the test runs?
