  1. Enhancement to pinning / modes

    [quote=willdean;5244]Of course, this is usually about the point people start to ask for a plug-in model - as if that didn't require absolutely crippling long-term maintenance.[/quote] Absolutely :) I have been looking at ways this could be done. It's all still long term thinking though. There's…

  2. Non friendly error upon missing net 4.5 (?)

    Yes - this would be because NCrunch doesn't have a .NET 4.5 task runner at the moment. I had thought that the 4.5.1 one was compatible with machines that didn't have 4.5.1 installed, but this has turned out to be untrue. The simple workaround (which you've no doubt discovered) is to install v4.5.1…

  3. Enable custom env. variables to be set on remote servers

    Rather than introducing a configuration setting, I'm wondering it perhaps it would be possible to gain a similar thing by having a fixed environment variable set that always held the name of the currently logged in user? For example, if 'Bob' is logged into the client machine, and he uses Grid No…

  4. NCrunch Grid: How to debug error on grid server?

    Hi, thanks for posting. Unfortunately, remote debugging on grid nodes is not yet supported by NCrunch. Because of this, if you try to debug a test when in 'grid only mode', the projects will build locally and the test will run locally. Remote debugging is a complex area that requires either…

  5. VS 2013 crashes

    Hi Gaz - Thanks for sharing this issue. Can you describe the nature of the crash? Is it a typical windows exception dialog that then tears down the whole process? NCrunch is fairly resilient in its handling of exceptions - it will catch them and report them in the Output window when they occ…

  6. The use of the Windows namespace is reserved

    Great stuff! Thanks Lee. I've had a quick look over this, and a processor architecture build issue is very clearly showing for me when NCrunch tries to build the solution. This problem does not show when building with the IDE. I'm not 100% sure if this is the same problem you reported earlie…

  7. Enhancement to pinning / modes

    [quote=willdean;5235] You're right, I'm sure I could do something like that, though it would conflict with the use of the mouse for pinning and unpinning, which is actually how I mostly do it (either from the tree view or from the source window right-click). My aim is obviously to get you to do th…

  8. Enhancement to pinning / modes

    Hi Will - This is an interesting idea. I've had a bit of a think about how such a workflow could be implemented using NCrunch, but it's difficult to find a clean way to do this using the current structure without introducing some kind of magic switch. It seems almost to me as though you need …

  9. Color configuration bug

    Hi Ben, Thanks for posting! The behaviour you've described is a new feature in V2. One of the biggest problems with automatically aligning the colour scheme with VS is that the markers can disappear if they are not adjusted in line with the IDE. Because the VS dark theme uses 30,30,30 as the…

  10. c++ filenames not fixed-up in stack traces

    Yes - this is definitely one way the problem can be solved, or at least managed better. There was a feature recently added in NCrunch that can [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_project-configuration_files-excluded-from-auto-build]disable the auto-build for certain files in the s…

  11. c++ filenames not fixed-up in stack traces

    Hi, I'm sorry to hear that this has costed you time. Since this issue was first raised, there have been several fixes to avoid NCrunch from introducing any kind of hyperlink from the UI into files in the workspace. It should now be impossible to navigate to a workspace file via NCrunch, though …

  12. Distributed processing

    It is interesting when test bugs like this surface with the distributed testing. I also have a good chuckle when I see it - as it's sometimes easy to forget that the tests are being run on a completely different machine with different configuration. The slightly annoying thing about this is that i…

  13. Distributed processing

    Thanks! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with this feature. Most of the time I only hear about things when they break, so it's really great to get some positive feedback :) Do post back again after you've been using it for a few weeks. I'd really like to hear ab…

  14. doe not 'Go to selected test'

    Hi, thanks for submitting the bug report. I noticed that you're still running on v1.46, which is getting quite old now. There's been many fixes in this area since 1.46 was released, so I strongly suspect you may be dealing with a resolved bug. Would you like to try one of the later builds to …

  15. Unicode issues

    How does the line navigation behave? Is it that you click it and nothing happens? I'm trying to reproduce this issue again in the hope I can find a workaround without massive amounts of development required. Which O/S are you running? Is it Windows 7? Also - noticing that you're still runni…

    Excellent, thank you!

  17. Funny Exception at nCrunch.Compiler.RemoteBuildRunner.Build

    Thanks for sharing this. Just to clarify - is the issue still present for you now? Or did it go away after you added the project reference? Also - what kind of type is 'IsAlive'? Is this an enum? Cheers, Remco

  18. Tests are flaky in 2.x with parameterized TestFixtures using NUnit

    This may be related to the sequence in which the tests are being executed. Changing versions of NCrunch will often invalidate the cache data, resulting in different execution sequences. Have you had any luck narrowing the issue down to a reproducable code sample?

  19. doe not 'Go to selected test'

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. The issue is caused by NCrunch being unable to resolve the method or property representing the test. Do you find this happens consistently for certain tests? Or is it an intermittent problem? If you can narrow it down to a single test that causes it consist…

  20. Unicode issues

    I wonder about the relationship here to Windows Updates. Are you certain there isn't a different pattern of occurrence, perhaps something intermittent?
