  1. How to get a file copied to bin\Debug (/Release) for test projects?

    The standard way to solve this is to enable the 'Copy referenced assemblies to workspace' setting for the test project, and down the dependency chain into the project containing the hibernate file. When this setting is enabled, NCrunch will copy the file in the same manner as a normal MSBuild actio…

  2. Internal errors with console tool v2.9.0.3

    [quote=GreenMoose;6398]I already use static for the console tool in order to try speed things up (and not get 1 test "per test case" to more closely be comparable with TC's built in NUnit test runner).[/quote] This is very interesting. The NUnit exceptions suggest that the console tool is trying…

  3. Internal errors with console tool v2.9.0.3

    Hi, thanks for sharing these issues. Most of these exceptions are connectivity related. NCrunch does log connectivity problems (as sometimes these are useful), and it will automatically try to reconnect if it encounters them. Can you confirm that you have clear and trouble-free connectivity fro…

  4. Tests on grid nodes should have higher default priority

    Hi Ralf, Let's separate this into two issues we need to deal with :) First of all, the crash issue. Broadly I can see two possible reasons that could make NCrunch crash in this situation. The first is poor handling of an exception thrown on the UI thread. This is pretty rare these days and …

  5. Embedded Resource DLLs cause System.OutOfMemoryException

    Thanks James, I'll take a look and will see if I can reproduce the issue :) Cheers, Remco

  6. Tests on grid nodes should have higher default priority

    Hi Ralf, Would you be able to try working with the Risk/Progress bar closed for a while? This UI element has some known performance issues that can block up the engine. Based on what you've described, I think the core engine is being overloaded by this element and it isn't able to keep up with …

  7. NCrunch reload and rebuild does not work

    The 83% issue you're experiencing is entirely related to corruption of the NCrunch .cache file. It isn't clear to me why this file is being corrupted for you. As you've described, clearing out the cache temporarily resolves the problem, but it simply comes back again. Most likely there is somethi…

  8. NCrunch reload and rebuild does not work

    I just also wanted to mention to make sure your IDE is closed when you clear up the temp files. This will help to ensure you get a clean slate.

  9. NCrunch reload and rebuild does not work

    Builds themselves shouldn't normally hang unless there is a custom task or step within the build that does this. Unfortunately introducing an option to allow you to terminate a hung build isn't really a solution for NCrunch, as it builds so frequently that this would quickly become annoying/unmanag…

  10. Tests on grid nodes should have higher default priority

    Hi Ralf - Something isn't behaving correctly here. The priority of tasks in the queue should only make a difference when there are no concurrency/resource constraints involved and the engine is out of capacity. If there are still execution threads available on the grid and there is work availab…

  11. NCrunch reload and rebuild does not work

    Something else I noticed in the log is that your build process seems to be attempting some kind of test generation step. Can you share any more details about this? I'm wondering if NCrunch's handling of this build step may also be causing some strange things to happen.

  12. NCrunch reload and rebuild does not work

    Thanks for sending through the report. The report shows that the engine experienced a problem when trying to read data from your NCrunch cache. Try deleting the solution_NCrunch_v2 directory to see if this makes any difference. Much of the behaviour you've described is not at all normal. Do yo…

  13. Ignored tests with umlauts show up again

    Sadly I've had no luck reproducing this problem. Have you managed to find any pattern to when the ignore flags stop working? I've tried many different ignore patterns using combinations of different character sets and every time it seems to work correctly.

  14. NCrunch reload and rebuild does not work

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. It seems to me like something is going very wrong internally. After you've managed to stall the engine in this way, would you be able to try submitting a bug report? The log file in the bug report may give some important clues as to what kind of state the engine…

  15. NCrunch does not include files that have a custom build action

    Hi, thanks for posting. NCrunch can only track files included in the project file that are of well known types. NCrunch isn't familiar with the 'FsYacc' and 'FsLex' tags, so it won't identify these files automatically. Adding them to the 'Additional files to include' setting for the project wil…

  16. Embedded Resource DLLs cause System.OutOfMemoryException

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. It's the first time I've seen this happen. How large are the two DLL files? Do you notice any difference if one of these files is excluded from being embedded? Also, how much memory do you normally have available? Is there any chance you can get me a code …

  17. Console runner does not ignore database project

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. The console runner loads projects straight off disk, where the VS extension will load projects out of the IDE's memory. It looks like the VS integration is managing to filter out the database projects, but the console runner won't know the difference until it t…

  19. Hide red failing unexecuted tests

    Hi Rassi, Unfortunately, clearing any kind of test state information on reset would create problems, as then no state could be preserved between instances of Visual Studio. Test state is particularly important for NCrunch beyond simply reporting results, as it is also used to optimise the sequen…

  20. WAT001 : At least one web or worker role is required

    Hi Fabian, Thanks for posting! Unfortunately Azure projects are [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/support/frameworks]not officially supported by NCrunch[/url]. Most likely there is some kind of infrastructure required in order for the project to build. Is the project required for your unit testing…
