  1. 2.0 License for 2.17

    Hi Joe, It depends upon when the license was purchased. NCrunch licenses are valid for all versions of the software released within 12 months of the date of license purchase. Edit: Sorry, I've just re-read and saw you asked for 2.17 .. There is no way a license purchased on 2.0 would work…

  2. Error executing tests

    Hi, Sorry I haven't received anything via the contact form. When was the file sent? Was it particularly large?

  3. Running NCrunch under Local System account

    Hi, I think this is a permissions related issue. It looks as though the NCrunch engine has no trouble creating or accessing this directory (the workspace), but as soon as it tries to access the directory in a build runner process, it can't open it. The cleanest way to solve this would probabl…

  4. Tests impacted when only editing test comment?

    Hi, Yes. NCrunch's impact detection is currently very rudimentary, it works above the compiler step and does not consider the IL. This has advantages in terms of simplicity and performance, but it isn't very accurate. Simply changing the code will trigger tests to be impacted, regardless of …

  5. Cannot debug tests with the 2.17 version

    Hi Martin, You're the first person to have reported this problem specifically in the 2.17 release, although there have been a number of people reporting debugging related problems in VS2015 which don't appear to be caused by NCrunch (though NCrunch does seem to surface them). Can you share any…

  6. Extreme build speed regression in 2.17.0.16

    [quote=zibalas;7991] Yep, this helps, 2.18.0.2 works great![/quote] Great, thanks! I'll see what I can do about getting this build to the download page.

  7. Extreme build speed regression in 2.17.0.16

    I'm wondering if you might be interested in trying this build: [url=http://downloads.ncrunch.net/NCrunch_Console_2.18.0.2.msi]http://downloads.ncrunch.net/NCrunch_Console_2.18.0.2.msi[/url] [url=http://downloads.ncrunch.net/NCrunch_Console_2.18.0.2.zip]http://downloads.ncrunch.net/NCrunch_Consol…

  8. Losing many tests due to duplicates in test names, but not method names

    [quote=abelb;7987] In the top right of the NCrunch Tests view, just to the left of Search, there's a dropdown with a limited, fixed set of ways of ordering the tests in the pane. While this is useful, I would very much like to be able to configure this somehow, create your own order for the tree. …

  9. Problems with multiple workspaces

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. I think you have a malfunctioning test that is cleaning up these files. This is because: - NCrunch doesn't delete build output files out of workspaces until the workspace is due to be removed, which can only happen if all test processes using the workspace h…

  10. Extreme build speed regression in 2.17.0.16

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. You are the first person to report this problem, but that doesn't mean it isn't common. Do you have any other solutions you can test the performance on? It would be very useful if we can identify whether there is something solution-specific that is surfacing…

  11. NCrunch not cleaning old workspaces, still an issue?

    [quote=GreenMoose;7980] Ok so if I understand this correctly: For project A, NCrunch test runners etc. will create X workspaces for it. Throughout the lifetime of the vstudio process NCrunch will create additional Y work spaces for it (for whatever reason) and when it reaches some limit at Z work …

  12. NCrunch not cleaning old workspaces, still an issue?

    Once a workspace has been created, it is kept, because there is a high chance it will be used again in future. Creating workspaces is very expensive, especially if they're big. There is a limit to how many workspaces NCrunch will create, as it can only use so many at one time and will always upd…

  13. NCrunch not cleaning old workspaces, still an issue?

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. NCrunch is militant with cleaning up workspaces, it has a very well tested routine to handle this, then a number of fallbacks in case the routine fails. If you're seeing the workspaces overstepping the allocated size of your RAM disk, this is more likely to be …

  14. Losing many tests due to duplicates in test names, but not method names

    [quote=abelb;7974]Thanks for pointing me to that link. Is it possible that in the past, where we had discussions that the whole tree only showed green, but the root markers of the tree summarized it as red regardless, that this was caused by tests hidden? And is it likewise possible that when I see …

  15. Losing many tests due to duplicates in test names, but not method names

    Hi, See here for more information about this issue - [url=http://forum.ncrunch.net/yaf_postst1686_Sharing-test-case-source-between-tests.aspx]http://forum.ncrunch.net/yaf_postst1686_Sharing-test-case-source-between-tests.aspx[/url]. Unfortunately, because of the way NUnit handles its test iden…

  16. Mass-Integration Testing

    Sorry, I haven't found a way that this can be made to work with NCrunch. The build logic of the cloud projects seems to be totally dependent on project references, which effectively staples the solution together in a way that prevents NCrunch from working with it. Looking at the design of this, …

  17. Integration tests, creating databases with SetUpFixture

    [quote=nrjohnstone;7968]Excellent advice.. NCrunch is fairly addictive and I am maybe taking things a bit far by wanting our integration tests to also be continuously run :-) [/quote] I would say that if you haven't yet managed to get all your tests running continuous (and distributed), you're m…

  18. Integration tests, creating databases with SetUpFixture

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Everything you've described is exactly as designed, and at first look it seems crazy and clumsy, but there is a good reason for it. NCrunch is a fully continuous runner - it uses a processing queue containing a list of tests to execute that is fully dynamic. …

  19. Possible performance issue for Git repositories

    Hi Matthew, thanks for sharing this issue. [quote=MatthewSteeples;7964]I've no firm numbers on this, it's just a hunch. We're using Git source control for our project as well as NCrunch. We've got the _NCrunch_ cache folder excluded from the project (using .gitignore) but I believe that Visual…

  20. Force install of old version

    Hi Ash, Thanks for posting! Windows Installers usually have a specific area of the registry where they place data about programs that are installed. NCrunch will be in this place, and removing the right keys should get rid of the installation. To find this, just do a search for 'NCrunch for …
