  1. Rider: You must install or update .NET to run this application.

    Thanks for these extra details. Right now my theory is that the NCrunch process is inheriting an environment variable that is redirecting the .NET build tools to use an SDK from the JB path shown in the error. I don't see any evidence of this in the environment variables you've posted, but it's po…

  2. Rider: You must install or update .NET to run this application.

    Can you confirm which version of .NET you are testing against with this project? The paths specified in the error are interesting. It looks like it's trying to use a version of the runtime that's installed under Rider. I wonder if there is an environment variable in place that is redirecting do…

  3. Rider: You must install or update .NET to run this application.

    Thanks for sharing this. The NCrunch engine is bound to .NET 8. It's basically a .NET 8 console application. When do you receive this error? Is there something you need to do to suppress it?

  4. Rider freezes UI very often when combined with NCrunch

    [quote=TimVisma;18349] I have test it with log verbosity with summary, but unfortunately no difference. [/quote] Thanks for confirming this. [quote=TimVisma;18349] Is it possible that NCrunch sometimes has issues with GitHub Copilot? (Other colleagues have this combination as well, but no p…

  5. Rider freezes UI very often when combined with NCrunch

    Thanks for these extra details. I was wondering if I was the only one seeing this issue and that perhaps it was specific to my environment. I now know that is not the case. There's a few things I've discovered about this problem in my efforts so far to resolve it: - It's intermittent, and seem…

  6. Rider freezes UI very often when combined with NCrunch

    [quote=TimVisma;18344] Which Rider log files could I view myself that are relevant? For example, Backend or threadDumps-freezes?[/quote] At this stage, I'm not sure. It depends on whether the freeze is related to the vast amount of data being logged. If you can confirm whether changing the log…

  7. Rider freezes UI very often when combined with NCrunch

    Hi Tim, The 'Log to output window' setting doesn't work under Rider, as it doesn't have an output window like VS does for reporting log details. When logging is enabled under Rider, the logs are written into the backend Rider logs. I noticed in the data you sent through that you have a lot of…

  8. Rider freezes UI very often when combined with NCrunch

    Hi Tim, I've been trying to track down an issue which I suspect may be the same as this one. Can you share any more detail on the nature of the freezes? How often do you get them, and how long do they show for? Do you sometimes have sessions that don't have them? Also, can you confirm whe…

  9. Custom configuration with preprocessor directives fails to build

    [quote=cadbooster;18331] Does that mean that NCrunch tries to build the Debug config, but Visual Studio only activates the NoLicense code?[/quote] Sort of. In this case it's most probably an inconsistency between the dependency data from Visual Studio (project.assets.json) and the build configu…

  10. Aspire

    [quote=danielbryars;18332]On https://github.com/dotnet/aspire/issues/7156 David Fowler posted that Aspire will work with NCrunch engineers to figure out a solution. NCrunch - have you engaged with David et al to fix it? Perhaps they can help?[/quote] See my comments above on this.

  11. Custom configuration with preprocessor directives fails to build

    The actual default depends on how the project is designed. I suspect you're encountering a variation of [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/considerations-and-constraints_project-build-platform-and-configuration]this problem[/url], though I find the symptoms a bit strange and it makes me won…

  12. Custom configuration with preprocessor directives fails to build

    Hi, thanks for posting. When you switch between build configurations, how are you handling this in NCrunch? Do you use the 'Use Build Configuration' setting? Note that NCrunch doesn't track the selected build configuration in the IDE - it will always use the project's default configuration.

  13. IpcConnectionClosedException - JSON parsing exception occurred

    I've prepared a build with some changes intended to prevent the writing of any BOMs to these json files. Would you be interested in giving it a try?

  14. IpcConnectionClosedException - JSON parsing exception occurred

    Ok, we're making progress :) NCrunch v5.17 included this change: - Fixed some files being written in ASCII when they should be in UTF8. This should give better support for non-english environments and projects. The change was intended to resolve some localization issues around files being wr…

  15. IpcConnectionClosedException - JSON parsing exception occurred

    Does the problem happen for all solutions? Or just one? Can you inspect the .json files with a hex editor to see whether they have a BOM?

  16. IpcConnectionClosedException - JSON parsing exception occurred

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. The json here looks structurally correct and I can't see anything obviously wrong with what's specified. I think this might be an encoding issue. What triggered this issue? Do you see if for every solution you use NCrunch on? Or just this one?

    [quote=rs_mb;18311]Any hacky way I can try installing it for VS 2026 - happy to be a guinea pig? I'm loving 2026 but feeling pretty lost without ncrunch :([/quote] Sorry, I'm hoping to have an installer up for this soon.

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

    Would you be able to attach a second instance of VS onto the crashed one, break in with a debugger, and get me a copy/paste of the stack trace on the main thread?

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

    Do you ever change your video settings while NCrunch/VS is running? (This includes enabling/disabling any extra displays)
