  1. Tests on grid nodes should have higher default priority

    Do you have logging enabled on any of your grid nodes? It would be really interesting to get a log file of the grid node's side of this happening. If you manage to capture one, could you zip it up and submit it through the [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/Support/Contact]contact form[/url]?

  2. Tests on grid nodes should have higher default priority

    [quote=Ralf Koban;6408]Hi Remco, When I take a look into the processing queue then I see that the grid nodes have a pending task to build the application's executable but I'm not sure as I don't see any information on the Distributed Processing page (there they are shown as online).[/quote] I th…

  3. Hide red failing unexecuted tests

    Interesting. I wonder if this depends upon the tests in question and the framework you may be using. The functionality to save and load test state has existed since the early days of V1, and I'm sure that 1.48 does do this. So I guess you're experiencing a bug in the form of a feature :) With …

  4. Tests on grid nodes should have higher default priority

    Is there a consistent set of steps you can perform to make the tests run only on the local machine while you're connected to the grid nodes? I'm hoping there may be some way for me to reproduce this problem .... Also, do you have any other solutions on your machine that you can test this with? It …

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

    Ok - Out of interest, how large is this 30s project in lines of code? And how long does it normally take for VS to build it?

  6. 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…

  7. 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…

  8. 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…

  9. 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 …

  10. Embedded Resource DLLs cause System.OutOfMemoryException

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

  11. 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 …

  12. 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…

  13. 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.

  14. 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…

  15. 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…

  16. 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.

  17. 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…

  18. 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.

  19. 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…

  20. 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…
