  1. How to enable NuGet Package Restore with NCrunch?

    It's likely that your problem isn't related to the restoration of Nuget packages, and is probably just an implicit build reference into other areas of the package. Try including your Nuget 'packages' directory using the NCrunch solution-level 'Additional files to include' setting. This will instru…

  2. How to enable NuGet Package Restore with NCrunch?

    [quote=Jduff;7760]"When working with NCrunch, you should always restore your packages inside the foreground solution instead" Sorry for the newbie question but can you explain this please? I'm trying to work w/command line nuget and need a way to get the nuget packages restored. Thanks.[/quot…

  3. How to reload app.config at runtime

    Hi, thanks for posting! Without attempting to hack/override the .NET configuration system, I broadly know of two ways to achieve what you're trying to do: 1. Create a new application domain, specifying the path to a different (modified) .config file, and using this application domain to call i…

  4. Chocolatey Packages

    [quote=DanHil;7758] I see. I would propose a package that is mainly for individual developers or small teams, i.e. it will make use of some simplifications: 1. It will not use SSL 2. It will not use a hostname 3. it will work only with "current" IIS (8?) 4. No security permissions in addition…

  5. Chocolatey Packages

    [quote=DanHil;7756] OK, so there is a text file for the license server. I can obviously use that. However. is there also a way to register a version during installation, without the involvement of a license server? [/quote] I'm not entirely certain what you mean by this question - if you're ask…

  6. Chocolatey Packages

    Hi Daniel, Great to hear from you! I hope you've been keeping well :) Thanks so much for your help in maintaining these installers. I'd be happy to offer my official consent - do let me know how to go about doing that! At the moment there are no plans to introduce an installer for the lic…

  7. How to put "set engine modes" to the toolbar\give hem shortkeys?

    I'm afraid that this is impossible. VS is quite precious about its toolbar elements, and adding a user controlled item to the toolbar dynamically is a challenge worthy of a project itself. Note that the engine modes are accessible by key sequence - Try: Alt-U, S, 4

  8. How to configure NUnit file to execute test cases of a solution file.

    Hi akb, thanks for posting! When NCrunch creates a test runner to run your tests, it follows the standard .NET convention by loading the config file which has the same name as the test assembly. This means that for the AllTests.Config file to be used by NCrunch, you'll need to rename this and en…

  9. NCrunch does not see tests

    Hi, thanks for sharing this. The first thing to check is whether there is an inconsistency in the way the tests are counted. When NCrunch reports the number of tests it's monitoring, this is the number of leaf-node tests only - it does not include virtual constructs such as fixtures, parameteris…

  10. Issues running Grid node on Azure VM

    [quote=ajohansen;7741][quote=Remco;7738]Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. NCrunch pipes data over a standard TCP connection. It has a built-in timeout period using keepalive packets to try and keep the connection open when no work is being performed. The connectivity code has been pretty thoro…

  11. Any way to restrict access to the license server?

    Hi, This is an incoming feature for v2.17 of NCrunch/LicenseServer. The new version will allow you to blacklist or whitelist based on a number of parameters, including the user's login name (which should correspond with a domain account). I have an early build if you'd like to give it a try. …

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. NCrunch pipes data over a standard TCP connection. It has a built-in timeout period using keepalive packets to try and keep the connection open when no work is being performed. The connectivity code has been pretty thoroughly tested with much larger uploads ..…

  13. Build deadlock?

    If it happened once, it'll probably happen again! Let me know if you learn any more about it.

  15. Grid node server "Not connected"

    [quote=Jaben;7729]Suggestion related to this: for status, show "Disabled" instead of "Not Connected" :)[/quote] Good thinking. Thanks :)

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

    Hi Ralf, I wonder if the best way to handle this may be to use the NCrunch logs. If you set Log Verbosity to Medium (or perhaps High, depending on the detail you need) and set Log To Output Window to True, NCrunch will dump a ton of data in the VS output window. Sifting through this manuall…

  17. Build deadlock?

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Would you be able to share any more details on the visible state of the engine when it locks up? What do you see in the processing queue? Are the results consistent across every session?

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

    Hi Ralf, The problem with this approach is that the pipeline is very dynamic. NCrunch can't accurately predict how long some tasks will take, so it relies on an approach where grid nodes and the local engine each 'pull' tasks out of the queue as their resources become available. At the moment…

  19. The tag 'XYZ' does not exist in XML namespace

    I'm glad you managed to get it to work. I can honestly say that how this change would have made the difference it did is beyond me, but the build system is so complex and pluggable that nothing is ever truly certain! Thanks for taking the time to post the solution.

  20. The tag 'XYZ' does not exist in XML namespace

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Can you confirm that you're only receiving the build error for the NCrunch build and not a normal VS build? If so, my first thought would be that the declaration behind this namespace is somehow not being located inside the NCrunch workspace. Check your comp…
