  1. Linked files used as embedded resources in RESX cause built to fail

    Hi, At the moment NCrunch doesn't parse .resx files to identify their dependencies. This means that if a resx file references a file that isn't declared in your project file, NCrunch won't know about it. There's two ways you can solve this: 1. Include the branchinfo.txt file inside your pr…

  2. NCrunch 2.14 with Visual Studio 2015

    I thought I'd just draw attention to something in the release notes for NCrunch 2.15 - [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/download/showChangeLog?version=2.15]http://www.ncrunch.net/download/showChangeLog?version=2.15[/url]. Microsoft introduced quite a significant change in one of the later RCs of VS201…

  3. NCrunch 2.14 with Visual Studio 2015

    Hi, Thanks for sharing these issues. I'll need some more details from you to figure out why this is happening in your environment. - Do you have any tests visible in the Tests Window for your solution? - Do you experience these problems if you create a new blank solution with a dummy test pr…

  4. slow typing in VS2015

    Hi, A few more questions: - Under Windows Task manager, when the problem appears, do you see high CPU utilisation? How high and which CPUs? - Under Windows Task manager, when the problem appears, do you see an excessive disk queue (i.e. heavy I/O activity?) - What happens when you progressi…

  5. slow typing in VS2015

    Ok - I'll try and share some more details with you about what I think is happening, in the hope that some of my questions may make more sense to you. I think we need to check a few things further to narrow this down before there is any certainty on what is happening to your system. NCrunch itsel…

  6. xUnit Collection handling

    [quote=michaellogutov;7623]Well, I guess this is fail-safe implementation but I think it's a huge resource waste in most of use cases.[/quote] Reliable parallel execution through any other method is impossible without requiring people to re-engineer their tests. Unfortunately, most people don't …

  7. slow typing in VS2015

    [quote=willcowell;7618]I have tried varying the [b]Sliding build delay[/b] with values ranging from 500 to 10,000: this had no affect. I have tried two other solutions: an [b]ASP.NET MVC[/b] app and another [b]Windows 8.1 app[/b] (the solution with 19K lines, 2.5K tests is a Windows 8.1 Universal…

  8. slow typing in VS2015

    [quote=willcowell;7619]One other minor difference between the slow solution and the other two that work fine: the slow solution is using MSTest (not my choice!) and the other two are using xUnit.[/quote] Did you have much luck with narrowing down the issue through ignoring projects, or examining …

  9. xUnit Collection handling

    [quote=michaellogutov;7617]Wait, nCrunch run tests in parallel using multple processes instead of threads?[/quote] That's correct. It's a common misconception - [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/concepts_parallel-execution]http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/concepts_parallel-execution[…

  10. xUnit Collection handling

    [quote=michaellogutov;7615] Hm... That not what I meant. I have a problem - my xUnit test correctly executing when runned from xUnit console runner even with "parallel all" option (which will make all tests within one collection across assembly to run in parallel). This is because xUnit console ru…

  11. xUnit Collection handling

    Hi, thanks for posting. To avoid confusion and to facilitate better control over system resources, NCrunch deactivates xunit's parallel execution and overrides it with its own. NCrunch already performs parallel execution with better separation between the tests (at process level) as part of it…

  12. slow typing in VS2015

    Thanks for sharing these details. Can you try adjusting the [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_global-configuration_sliding-build-delay]Sliding build delay[/url] configuration setting to see if this makes any difference? With the issue appearing on such a wide range of differe…

  13. slow typing in VS2015

    Hi Abu, thanks for sharing this issue. Would you be able to help with answering the following questions? This should help with narrowing down the issue: - What are the specifications of the machine you're running on? Is it a high-end system? - Approximately how large is the solution you're …

  14. Unable to Debug tests in Visual Studio 2015

    [quote=Furynation;7607]Thanks Remco. I just filed a bug over at Connect. Hopefully, they'll be able to narrow this down. It started happening now under normal debugging situations.[/quote] I'm sorry to hear that. I recommend sharing a link to your report on connect here, that way if anyone else …

  15. VS 2013 - NCrunch_VS2013_2.16.0.13 - Error

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Does the ActivityLog.xml contain any useful information? A stack trace perhaps? Make sure that when installing manually you also 'unblock' any files you've extracted from the ZIP. Windows can often implicitly block things when perhaps it shouldn't, and this…

  17. VS 2015 MSI installer does not work.

    Hi, thanks for reporting this. I've just run a couple of quick tests with a fresh download, and it does seem to be working on my end. Could you try re-downloading to see if this makes any difference?

  19. Test Window Popup in Win 10/VS2015 with Win8 app

    Hi Will, Thanks for sharing this issue. Unfortunately, I have only bad news to report here. NCrunch is reliant on the IApplicationActivationManager.ActivateApplication service call to launch a Windows Store app (or test project) with its sandboxing intact. This is the same service call used …
