  1. Best method for referencing third-party assemblies

    [quote=MarcChu;8370]Well, I got the code to function correctly by setting "Copy referenced assemblies to workspace" for every project in this chain (A, B, and C, but not for every project in the solution). I'm fairly certain nothing is loaded from the GAC. Also, I was in contact with tech su…

  2. Path to nuget cache?

    [quote=moswald;8368]I think so? It's definitely broken right now. :) If you want, tomorrow I can put together a sample test suite and put it on GitHub for you to take a look at.[/quote] It would be really great if you could do that. Sorry, I'm having a hard time understanding this one.

  3. Path to nuget cache?

    [quote=moswald;8366]In this case, the [url=https://github.com/paulcbetts/refit]nuget package comes with a tools subfolder[/url] with an executable inside that gets run as a pre-build step. Pre-nuget 3.0, the only way to get it working was to use the IncludeAdditionalFiles property.[/quote] Unde…

  4. Displaying paramaterised tests

    I've completed my investigation of this problem and concluded that it is, unfortunately, by design. Xunit v2 has a concept known as pre-enumeration, which basically involves the granular discovery of theory test cases during test discovery. Pre-enumeration allows NCrunch to detect theory test ca…

  5. Path to nuget cache?

    I've just revisited our solution to this issue, and realised that our solution doesn't really make sense in this context. The Additional Files To Include is designed to allow you to include files in the workspace that a relatively referenced from your code or build logic. But the Nuget package…

  6. Best method for referencing third-party assemblies

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. It looks to me as though something is not behaving right in NCrunch's resolution in your solution. When NCrunch constructs a workspace for your project, by default, it will copy all assemblies directly referenced by the project into an _ncrunchreferences direct…

  7. Benefits of NCrunch vs Other Test Tools

    [quote=qujck;8356]I had to disable NCrunch the other day as one of the guys I was demoing to is colour blind (NCrunch is not very colour blind friendly).[/quote] You may already know this, but I just wanted to confirm that it's possible to [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_globa…

  8. Grid + local performance question

    Hi Wilhelm, When NCrunch works over a grid, it will duplicate build and analysis tasks so that each node (+ local) will build and analyse the same project. The alternative design considered was to have a single node (or local) build each project, then transfer the artifacts across the grid. T…

  9. Benefits of NCrunch vs Other Test Tools

    Hi Ed, I have a feeling that you're fishing for real-world examples of people that have investigated their tooling, rather than a pitch from a tools vendor ... So I'll sit quiet on this one. I've put out a tweet asking if any other users are interested in posting here, as I'm also interested in …

  10. Quick second build losing code coverage?

    Thanks Ed. The pending 2.20 release introduces a number of significant changes to the way that NCrunch builds and handles its code coverage indexes. Because of the sheer volume of data involved and the complexity of this area of the product, it will be very difficult for me to reproduce the prob…

  11. Test Status Changes

    Hi Ed, Something I can think could cause this behaviour is if SaveToFile test 2 causes a change to a file in the foreground solution. This would cause NCrunch to consider tests to be out of date. Is the file being saved to by these tests referencing anything using an absolute file path?

  12. NUnit generic test fixtures report "same name" error

    Hi Jamie, Thanks for sharing this issue. This is caused by a known problem in which NCrunch isn't correctly identifying tests using parameterised fixtures under NUnit v3 - [url=http://forum.ncrunch.net/yaf_postst1734_Parameterized-TestFixtures-not-fully-recognized-anymore-with-NUnit3.aspx]http:/…

  13. Path to nuget cache?

    Hi, thanks for sharing this. It looks like we'll need to add support for environment variables in the 'Additional Files To Include' for this to work. I'll see if I can get this introduced. Thanks for making me aware of it. An ugly work around would be to hard-code the path into the 'Addition…

  14. Adjust alpha of pending tests?

    [quote=kentcb;8338]Hi, I find it hard to distinguish between tests that have completed (solid) and those that have not (semi-transparent). I've found the "General Settings" and it's fantastically flexible in setting up colours and what-not. However, I can't see a way to adjust the alpha for pendi…

  15. Disable coverage without disabling test info

    [quote=kentcb;8336] I'm not sure I find the perf info useful yet. Is it measuring the DEBUG binaries? Does it warm up the JIT? [/quote] The performance tracking cannot work with compiler optimisations enabled and does not override JIT behaviour. Even considering this, you may be surprised how …

  16. Default Browser Switched to Firefox

    Hi Ed, Thanks for sharing this issue. To be honest, I'm not sure where to start on diagnosing such a problem. NCrunch has no browser integration of any kind, and it's debugging support extends only to telling VS to attach to a .EXE process (there are no settings changes). If this is happen…

  17. Disable coverage without disabling test info

    Hi, thanks for posting! At the moment, it is not possible to configure NCrunch to behave in the way you are asking for. However, implementing such behaviour in the product is by no means impossible, and could be [url=https://ncrunch.uservoice.com/]suggested as a feature[/url]. Though I woul…

    Would you like to try the build below?

  19. Projects using NuGet v3 do not build in NCrunch, error about global.json

    Hi, Thanks for sharing this issue. During the first round of integration with DNX early last year, NCrunch was rigged to detect DNX projects through the presence of the project.json file. At the time, this was a safe assumption as DNX projects were the only ones making use of this system. …

  20. Is there a way to visualize the test pipeline?

    The 14 second delay in this situation would likely have been caused by an internal task (or series of tasks) tying up the engine's main thread over an extended period of time. In my understanding of the design of the engine, it's unlikely that this could be the result of over allocating and is mo…
