  1. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The system cannot find the file specified

    Would you be able to get me a detailed trace log from the console tool? You can do this by passing "-LogVerbosity Detailed" on the command line, and redirecting the output to a text file. If it's too much to paste here, you can submit it [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/support/contact]through the c…

  2. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The system cannot find the file specified

    For some reason, NCrunch thinks that the project 'C:\src\Classic-AMIS\trunk\Classic-AMIS-Internal\Classic.AMIS.Internal.Schema.UnitTests\Classic.AMIS.Internal.Schema.UnitTests.csproj' has a TargetFramework of netcoreapp or netstandard. Because of this, it's trying to find MSBuild.exe under the VS i…

  3. Risk bar and time remaining

    Hi, thanks for posting. This feature is due to be completely redesigned. It has some serious internal performance issues that can cause it to block up the engine. For the time being, I'd recommend avoiding it. For this feature to work, it needs to build a running forecast of all tests in the q…

  4. System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The system cannot find the file specified

    Hi, It looks like you're using a CPS based project and you don't have the .NET Core SDK installed. Are you able to open these projects in Visual Studio? Do they build on this machine?

  5. Tests utilising Microsoft.AspNet.TestHost fail in NCrunch

    Is there any chance you could submit a bug report immediately after you've had this happen? Maybe the log will reveal something.

  6. xUnit category not used

    Hi, thanks for posting. To my knowledge, this should create the same effect. If you turn on the 'Categories' column in the Tests Window, do you see the category correctly assigned to your tests?

  7. Tests utilising Microsoft.AspNet.TestHost fail in NCrunch

    Do you notice much of a pattern around how/when it appears? My particular interest is whether this happens mostly when NCrunch is first initialised. The problem itself seems to be a load issue. When NCrunch interrogates MSBuild as it loads the project, MSBuild isn't returning a path for the proje…

  8. Tests utilising Microsoft.AspNet.TestHost fail in NCrunch

    Are you seeing this from a project that has a project.assets.json file? (i.e. .NET Core or CPS project). The error itself is being kicked up because NCrunch is expecting a project assets file, but doesn't seem to have knowledge of one. I'm aware of a race condition that can cause some problems whe…

  9. Installing NCrunch on nicknamed multiple installations of Visual Studio 2017

    Hi, See here for details - [dead link]. To my knowledge, it's not possible to build an MSI with multiple dynamic installation paths. Presently, if you're running multiple VS instances, you need to install the product manually using the manual install instructions on the download page. Ther…

  10. OutOfMemoryException while building a project

    Hi, Thanks for sharing this problem. Do you see this consistently? Or does it happen after a while? Does changing the [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_project-configuration_build-process-cpu-architecture]build process CPU architecture[/url] to x64 make any difference?

  11. NCrunch does not honor the max timeout and runs tests forever

    I've done some testing today with a solution containing large batches of tests (5000) at a time. Although the performance was far from ideal, it was still quite workable. I don't think this problem is being caused by a bottleneck related to the number of tests. Can you please share with me the …

  12. What does the Fast Lane Threshold setting do? The UI description seems off

    Thanks for sharing this. The description in the UI is wrong, it was copy pasted from the other setting and wasn't updated. The 'Task' in this context is a task held in the processing queue, so it's usually a batch of tests or a build task.

  13. NCrunch Console hanging under TeamCity (possible cause)

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. An important consideration here is to establish the source of the hanging, which is best done using the logs from the console tool run. There are two ways this can hang: 1. A test is running overtime and cannot be aborted 2. The engine is failing to correct…

  14. Problems using FsCheck arbitraries

    Hi, Thanks for sharing this problem. This doesn't appear to be an issue caused by NCrunch. I observe the exact same behaviour when I execute this code using the xunit visualstudio runner. There is considerable complexity here inside FsCheck, and the types involved are completely unknown to…

  15. NCrunch does not honor the max timeout and runs tests forever

    Sorry, I'll try to be more specific. At the moment I suspect this is a performance issue that is specific to large test execution tasks, as visible in the processing queue. In this case, we have 4000 tests sitting inside one test execution task. I've never seen that before, though it certainly …

  16. FromRelativePath throws if path is contained in quotes

    Thanks for sharing this problem. It doesn't match with my knowledge of MSBuild conventions for an item to be valid when in quotes, so this looks to be special case. Does suppressing this with a condition allow you to work around the problem? i.e: <OtherFlags Condition="'$(NCrunch)' != '1'"…

  17. NCrunch does not honor the max timeout and runs tests forever

    Looking at the log, it's possible this may be caused by a performance issue in NCrunch's test adapter or in the underlying framework itself. Is this using NUnit3? It's fairly unusual to see 4000 tests in a single batch. NCrunch runs these tests by identifying them to the test framework and te…

  18. NCrunch does not honor the max timeout and runs tests forever

    [quote=abelb;11242]Thanks for your answer. I may have misphrased, as I didn't mean for you to spend hours on this, essentially I think I merely hoped on a "yes, it happens here too, strange, but not sure what it causes", or a "doesn't happen here, must be something local" or even a "oh, I have seen …

  19. NCrunch does not honor the max timeout and runs tests forever

    [quote=abelb;11240] Could I bother you to look into this by running this on your system with NCrunch? It's not that just one test is hanging, it is several thousands at once. I can send you a ZIP of the whole project, so you get the same situation. Alternatively, I can send you just the binaries th…

  20. Unable to load NCrunch in VS2017 after crash during test configuration

    Thanks for sharing this problem. This is being caused by an invalid core descriptor in your global configuration file at C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\NCrunch. If you can share the contents of this config file with me, I'll see if I can reproduce the problem on my side. Removing or renaming t…
