  1. NCrunch seems to occasionally lock folders in projects making the folders impossible to rename

    There's a bit already in the next version ... so it's tough to make promises, but I'll see what I can do.

  2. NCrunch seems to occasionally lock folders in projects making the folders impossible to rename

    Yes - this is a known issue. It is tied to the method NCrunch is using to watch for file changes inside these folders. The problem can be reproduced by attempting to rename a project sub-folder that contains other folders. It won't happen for folders that don't contain other nested folders. …

  3. Exclusively uses attribute seems to not be working

    The processing queue window has a number of filters on the toolbar to control which tasks are shown in the view. I recommend turning on the 'Stopwatch' option and leaving the rest turned off, as this will make it possible to see which tasks are running at any one time. If you have the 'Exclusively…

  4. Disable NCrunch for individual projects in a solution

    Yes! It did. Try the [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_project-configuration_ignore-this-component-completely]Ignore This Component Completely[/url] project-level configuration setting.

  5. Remote server: Sluggish vstudio when using remote servers.

    Thanks - I'll review the code around this window to see if I can spot anything that might cause poor performance. Let me know if you manage to get it happening again. I'd like to see if we can narrow it down further, perhaps to the content/activities inside the window when it occurs.

  6. Remote server: Sluggish vstudio when using remote servers.

    How certain are you that the Distributed Processing Window is triggering the problem? Do you notice a clear pattern of the devenv CPU cores spiking whenever it's opened, then dropping whenever it's closed? Does removing any of the registered servers make any difference?

  7. Remote server: Sluggish vstudio when using remote servers.

    5-10% might seem extreme, but this is not usually high enough to cause responsiveness problems like what you've been describing. I think there's a good chance this is related to memory consumption - probably the O/S is paging heavily and the extra I/O from this is interfering with normal operatio…

  8. Remote server: Sluggish vstudio when using remote servers.

    Did you notice any activity using perfmon to check the garbage collections? The distributed processing window doesn't do much on the UI thread, but it may well contribute to overall memory traffic.

  9. Ncrunch Fody ContainsTypeChecker

    I've pinged Simon Cropp (Frody Developer) about this issue. He suggested it might be related to this problem - [url=https://github.com/Fody/Fody/wiki/TaskCouldNotBeLoaded]https://github.com/Fody/Fody/wiki/TaskCouldNotBeLoaded[/url]. It may also be worth you checking with him directly to see if he …

  10. Ncrunch Fody ContainsTypeChecker

    Hi, Thanks for sharing this issue. As you've posted it here, can I safely assume that you're seeing this problem when working with NCrunch but not with other test runners or a normal build? Would you be able to try setting your solution in [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/troubleshoo…

  11. Exclusively uses attribute seems to not be working

    Ok - that narrows things down a bit. The next thing we should check is the behaviour of the tests in the processing queue. If you set the filters on the queue to show only executing tests, and turn on the 'Exclusively Used Resources' column, do you see any evidence of the engine running tests conc…

  12. Projects not refeshing in NCrunch which results in the tests passing when they are really failing

    Are you able to make the tests pass artificially in NCrunch consistently? Does this happen when you try to debug the tests using NCrunch? If so, does the debugger pick up the exception that would result in the test failing? Are you able to supply code or steps to reproduce the issue?

  13. "Friend access was granted to" error with internals visible to

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Is it possible that you have the [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_project-configuration_prevent-signing-of-assembly]prevent signing of assembly[/url] configuration setting enabled on the project that declares the InternalsVisibleToAttribute? …

  14. Exclusively uses attribute seems to not be working

    Hi Bob, When upgrading to VS2013, did you also upgrade to a new version of NCrunch? (i.e. from 1.48 to 2.7?) Or was it just to a different build of NCrunch under the same version (i.e. v2.7 VS2012 to v2.7 VS2013)? A useful thing I think we should check is whether or not the engine is actually…

  15. 'Additional Files To Include' adding Byte-order mark? (NCrunch 1.48)

    Hi Steve, Thanks for sharing this issue. v1.48 is getting quite old now. Have you tried one of the later builds to see if this solves your problem? The build below is an early pre-release of 2.8. This build includes some fixes around file encoding preservation and it may be worth a try: …

  16. NCrunch not respecting binding redirect

    Great to hear! I'm glad you're enjoying the product :) There's been LOTS of improvements since the old build you were running. I recommend checking up on the blog and the release notes on the download page to see what you've been missing.

  17. NCrunch not respecting binding redirect

    Hi, thanks for posting! The version of NCrunch that you're running is unfortunately very far out of date. Have you tried one of the later versions to see if this solves the problem for you? Cheers, Remco

  18. Projects not refeshing in NCrunch which results in the tests passing when they are really failing

    Hi, thanks for posting! As the tests are exhibiting inconsistent pass/fail results in NCrunch, I would strongly suspect one of the following: 1. The tests are sequence dependent. They perhaps depend upon being the first test executed inside the test run, or perhaps on another test being run b…

  19. Any point in leaving a core unassigned to either Visual Studio or NCrunch?

    Hi, thanks for posting! The straight answer is Yes. If you have a core that isn't assigned to VS or to NCrunch, then neither the VS UI nor NCrunch can touch this core. Note that from VS2012, VS does quite a bit using background threads, so it may still intrude upon this core a little (NCrunch c…

  20. NCrunch fails on tests that resharper passes using xUnit

    I do remember there being some issues with Nancy's testing framework not handling NCrunch straight out of the box. My memory isn't very clear in this area, but I think it was doing something like trying to resolve the web project's location dynamically (which would often fail under NCrunch, as the …
