  1. FAQ: Accreditation

    Hi, thanks for posting. Right now, the NCrunch software has no accreditation provided by any third party. Reasons for this as follows: 1. The software is used only in a development environment. It is not mission critical and its failure to perform will not result in catastrophic loss. 2. Th…

  2. Use Roslyn build

    Hi, thanks for posting. To know more about how where the bottleneck is here, we'll need to take a look at some of the performance analysis results from one of your NCrunch builds. The easiest way to do this is to turn on the [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_global-configurat…

  3. NCrunch unable to find sn.exe (VS2017 only)

    [quote=omusavi;11829]Thanks, I will try it with the build and let you know how it goes. In the meantime, any ideas why even setting the registry values didn't work as a workaround? On a clean Windows 10 machine with only VS2017 installed, are you guys getting different values than I am for the wi…

  4. NCrunch unable to find sn.exe (VS2017 only)

    The build below contains a fallback that will try to find sn.exe using normal install locations on the file system if the registry attempts don't provide it. I recommend giving this a try. We were unable to produce an image with registry paths configured in the way that you've described, even when…

  5. NCrunch unable to find sn.exe (VS2017 only)

    My previous experience here has been that sn.exe is usually deployed in the Windows SDK, and although the .exe paths have varied somewhat inside the install directory. I would have thought that installing a previous version of the Windows SDK would place the file in a well known location, though as…

  6. NCrunch unable to find sn.exe (VS2017 only)

    Hi Omeed, My assumption at the moment is that these machines have a configuration set in which the sn.exe tool is being stored in a different location relative to historical norms. Every few years this tool gets moved around and NCrunch then needs to have extra logic added to find it. We'll t…

  7. Include as link not copied to NCrunch output?

    [quote=GreenMoose;11818] I usually do like this when sharing same AssemblyInfo.cs files in multiple projects (which I guess works fine since that file is included in compile process), and now I had duplicated config files I wanted to share in the same way I.e. no tooling or template, Add->existi…

  8. Include as link not copied to NCrunch output?

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. I'm personally unfamiliar with this mechanism (link). Historically, MSBuild has had support for specifying a 'link' file using an XML tag, but this is the first time I've seen it done as an attribute. So probably the reason NCrunch doesn't handle it would be b…

  9. Passing test shows red on sidebar

    Would you be able to try placing NCrunch in [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/troubleshooting_compatibility-mode]compatibility mode[/url] to see if any of these settings resolve the problem? Also, could you check if Newtonsoft.Json.dll exists at the searched location with the correct versio…

  10. Configuration option "Additional files to include" doesn’t work

    Hi, thanks for sharing this problem. This is a technical limitation caused by NCrunch's build optimisations. You need to either change the way this file is located by your code so that it searches relative to the console project's .exe, or you need to turn on the 'Copy referenced assemblies to w…

  11. Passing test shows red on sidebar

    Hi, thanks for sharing this problem. What is the nature of this exception? Does it appear consistently? Is there another dependency here? If the test is failing consistently under NCrunch, then probably there is due to a difference between the NCrunch test environment and the one in which yo…

  12. NCrunch Tests window fails to update its icons

    [quote=Kaerwek;11804]It sure seems much more stable now. It seems to refresh the statuses correctly, haven't checked it very deeply, but earlier every now and then it seemed to report things wrong.[/quote] Please do let me know if you manage to pin down any problems. As far as I know, all result…

  13. NCrunch Tests window fails to update its icons

    [quote=Kaerwek;11802] Did you do you attempt to do something about that other issue? [/quote] From what I could establish in the reports you submitted, these looked to be tied to the same thing (exceptions thrown during test discovery/execution). Are you seeing any problems with the new build?…

  14. NCrunch Tests window fails to update its icons

    Would you be interested in trying the build below? I've attempted to implement a fix for this problem. Note that you'll also need to set your 'Framework Utilisation type for MSTest' setting to 'DynamicAnalysis'. [url=http://downloads.ncrunch.net/NCrunch_Console_3.13.0.1.msi]http://downloads.ncr…

    Below is an early build of v3.13, including the fix for this problem: [url=http://downloads.ncrunch.net/NCrunch_Console_3.13.0.1.msi]http://downloads.ncrunch.net/NCrunch_Console_3.13.0.1.msi[/url] [url=http://downloads.ncrunch.net/NCrunch_Console_3.13.0.1.zip]http://downloads.ncrunch.net/NCrunch…

  16. NCrunch Tests window fails to update its icons

    Yes, Color would definitely do this. Does this work for you outside of NCrunch? I'm not sure if it's possible to get this kind of thing working under NCrunch, since it would involve the test's meta structure consisting of a user type (a bad thing when it comes to test uniqueness/identification…

  17. NCrunch failing to build .net core projects

    Hi Adrian, Thanks for taking the time to post here! You are absolutely correct. We had, actually, just a couple of hours earlier arrived at the exact same conclusion ourselves and we're in the process of fixing the problem. Including 3rd party assemblies in the NCrunch build system is somethin…

  18. An exception was thrown in the remote environment, Errors occurred while trying to load the project

    Hi, thanks for sharing this problem. It's interesting that VS is still able to accept this change in structure. Prior versions would have exploded if this were changed. We'll take a look to see if we can make NCrunch more resilient here. Thanks for taking the time to report this.

  19. NCrunch Tests window fails to update its icons

    I'm not sure if the most recent bug report with this issue was yours, but in the likely event that it is, it contained a useful stack trace: System.Exception: Unknown DataRow parameter type: System.RuntimeType at nCrunch.Module.MSTest.Integration.MSTestResolvedTest.convertStringToType(String …

  20. NCrunch Tests window fails to update its icons

    If you're receiving OutOfMemoryExceptions in the NCrunch engine process itself, then this would likely be because of one of the following: 1. NCrunch is set to run using an [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_global-configuration_engine-hosting-strategy]x86 process host[/url] and th…
