  1. NCrunch Tests window fails to update its icons

    Alternatively, can you check your Processing Queue for failed tasks? If a task has blown up, there should be an exception trace available there.

  2. NCrunch Tests window fails to update its icons

    Thanks for sending through the bug report. Was NCrunch enabled when you sent this? The log file was blank, which suggests the engine was either completely crashed out or otherwise disabled.

  3. Old version support for new VS versions

    [quote=Brondahl;11777] Here's hoping that VS becomes more stable compatibility-wise going forward; I can vaguely imagine how frustrating it must be to have to work so hard just to stay in the same place. [/quote] Me too! The good news is that 2018 is already looking better. We have new feature…

  4. Old version support for new VS versions

    Hi, thanks for posting. Since the start of the project, over 70% of the development effort on NCrunch goes into keeping the product updated with the ever churning platform underneath it (VS, .NET, test frameworks, etc). VS2017 was a particularly rough update for NCrunch, because so many things i…

  5. NCrunch Tests window fails to update its icons

    This is probably an internal exception. Would you be able to submit a bug report after you see this? The log file may yield some useful information.

  6. Tests fail because of relative path location

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Note that NCrunch will not copy the resource files from referenced projects unless the 'Copy Referenced Assemblies To Workspace' setting is enabled for the projects involved. This is because changes to these files require the build chain to work differently. S…

  7. Path too long error prevents project from building

    Hi, thanks for posting. I wasn't aware that this configuration setting existed. It looks like it was added in the early preview days of Windows 10, so I guess it's a few years old now. The error message giving you trouble is caused by a check NCrunch does to ensure that constructed file paths…

  8. Long test names cause Visual Studio UI hangs with NCrunch enabled

    Hi, thanks for sharing this. With your sample code, I can reproduce a problem in the UI that causes NCrunch to eat up the main thread while it tries to render the long test name. This will definitely slow VS right down. We'll take a look and see if we can get this fixed. Using a hash for the…

  9. NCrunch not ignoring unloaded projects

    I understand about what you mean about the build times, especially if you're switching branches. Working on partially loaded solutions adds considerable complexity to the workflow and it can be difficult to design a tool around these kinds of use cases. I tend to try to look at the reasons for w…

  10. NCrunch not ignoring unloaded projects

    Hi Will, NCrunch sources its list of projects from the solution file, and will also expand its project list to include those projects that exist outside the solution but are referenced from within it. So basically, you get everything in the whole tree regardless of whether VS has the project loa…

  11. Azure Functions project causes a Console to be open every time NCrunch builds

    Hi, thanks for posting. For a good number of years now, NCrunch hasn't contained any code that would instantiate a console window under windows. My guess would be that this is being triggered by a build step in your project that is creating the window in its own code. As such, the problem would…

  12. [Fixed] Ncrunch can no longer build a project but VS2017 can

    Hi, thanks for sharing this problem. Can you confirm if this problem appears on the latest version of NCrunch (v3.12)? v3.12 saw quite a few fixes over v3.11 in terms of compatibility improvements for newer releases of VS.

  13. Cast operators

    [quote=SvenL;11743] It is a pity that NCrunch does not report this kind of problems a little more verbose; it finds the test but can't 'handle' it... im(h)o this is a real issue and the user should be notified. [/quote] I'm sorry to hear of the frustration here. I agree that this is a scenario…

  14. Including '(' or ')' char in F# mstest class name leads to NullReferenceException

    Hi, thanks for sharing this problem. I think I can see how this could come about. It's caused by a hole in NCrunch's support for methods/classes that contain brackets in their names. In most .NET based languages, it isn't possible to create these, though F# seems to be the exception. I'll make…

  15. Installed 3.12.0.15 but addin in Visual Studio 2017 claims 3.10.0.20

    Hi Peter, This looks like a problem with Windows Installer. For some reason, it's electing not to overwrite the NCrunch install files on your machine. It should be possible to resolve this by following the removal and reinstallation instructions at [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/tr…

  16. Cast operators

    Hi, thanks for posting. Do other test runners also find these tests? Is it possible you've ignored them using the 'Ignore' button in the Tests Window? Do newly created tests of the same structure also stay undiscovered by NCrunch? If so, are you able to share a sample declaration of any of t…

  17. NCrunch failing to build .net core projects

    Thanks, we're looking into this now. I recommend sticking with 15.5 until this problem is resolved (by either us or MS).

  18. Make async await Stacktrace readable

    Hi, Because this is quite similar to another feature request to clean up stack traces from the test runner, I've linked back to here from that request ([dead link]). It would probably make sense for these things to be tackled together.

  19. NCrunch failing to build .net core projects

    Thanks for confirming. Are you able to build a sample project that can produce the error (something you can share with me)? You can submit zipped code through the [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/support/contact]contact form[/url]. If you have a non preview build of VS2017 installed, I'd also be in…

  20. NCrunch failing to build .net core projects

    Hi, thanks for sharing this problem. This looks like a new one. I wonder if it's related to the preview build. Does [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/troubleshooting_compatibility-mode]compatibility mode[/url] make any difference here?
