  1. Can not build project when it uses a specflow plugin to generate NCrunch test attributes

    Ok - do let me know if you manage to pin it down. I was thinking that this would be particularly useful to include for other SpecFlow users. I've had questions before from people wondering how to best include NCrunch attributes in their SpecFlow tests. Until now, my answer has always been to cr…

  2. NCrunch and RazorGenerator.MsBuild

    Excellent. Thanks!

  3. comparing algorithm performance

    There are plans to introduce an export feature to export the contents of the Tests Window. Would this also work for you?

  4. Test fails in NCrunch and passes in other runners.

    Ahh that makes sense. I had thought that the issue also affected CLR 2, but it was more than a year since I analysed it .. and I may have remembered incorrectly. There have also been changes to the CLR through Windows Update, which does sometimes make it difficult to pin down behaviour over time w…

  5. Test fails in NCrunch and passes in other runners.

    The reason for the difference is that NUnit doesn't instrument the code as NCrunch does. NCrunch's performance instrumentation makes heavy use of try/finally blocks, which tend to surface this behaviour on machines that have .NET 4.5 installed. Interestingly, the problem also applies to versions…

  6. Can not build project when it uses a specflow plugin to generate NCrunch test attributes

    Thanks for the extra dumps. The inconsistent results here are interesting. I wonder if it may be that the build works in some workspaces but not others? The level of complexity here is reaching a threshold where trying to solve the problem through forum posts may not be the most efficient way. …

  7. NCrunch and RazorGenerator.MsBuild

    Hi Dusan - Thanks for posting! Most likely the precompiler requires that referenced assemblies exist in the output directory of the web application's DLL file. You can fix this by turning on the 'Copy referenced assemblies to workspace' project-level configuration setting for all the projects…

  8. Test fails in NCrunch and passes in other runners.

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. It is a known problem caused by the behaviour of the CLR as introduced by changes in v4.5 of the .NET framework. Please see [url=http://forum.ncrunch.net/yaf_postst182_Liveness-extended-with-enabled-timing.aspx]this forum post[/url] for more details. The c…

  9. NCrunch 2.3 Beta: Slow F# testing under VS2013 Update 1

    Wow. It's interesting that NGen would make such a difference in the performance of the compiler. Nice work figuring this out.

  10. NCrunch v2 BETA 2.3.0.15 - Cannot execute test with MS Fakes.

    Sorry - I've just done some more testing on this. It looks like the problem is being caused by changes in the profiler's CLSID. I'll need to fix this in the next beta build. Thanks for taking the time to report this issue.

  11. NCrunch v2 BETA 2.3.0.15 - Cannot execute test with MS Fakes.

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Probably a stupid question - but can you confirm that MS Fakes runs correctly on your machine outside of NCrunch? (i.e. using the VS test runner) If so, I'm wondering if you can try the following: - Set a breakpoint on the first line of your test - Run th…

  12. Can not build project when it uses a specflow plugin to generate NCrunch test attributes

    Hi Sam - There is something strange going on inside this build process, and I think the best way to identify it will be to modify the build scripts themselves to extract some more information. Since the build works correctly in the workspace from a command-line MSBuild call, clearly the files …

  13. comparing algorithm performance

    Not within NCrunch. Something you could try is to wrap the test itself inside a timer, then dump the results to a log file. For example: [Test] public void ExecuteAlgorithmWithPerformanceMeasurement() { var stopWatch = Stopwatch.StartNew(); st…

  14. comparing algorithm performance

    To a limited extent, yes. NCrunch's built-in performance analysis does allow algorithms to be inspected line-by-line for their performance. In theory, if you wrote two tests running two different algorithms, the code coverage should report bottlenecks and the test execution times could give you …

  15. Intellitrace unavaliable

    Hi, NCrunch only loads the Intellitrace profiler when working with MS Fakes, although it does so in a reduced mode with most of the Intellitrace features disabled. Can I take this as a request that you would like to see this feature introduced? Cheers, Remco

  16. The use of the Windows namespace is reserved

    Hi Lee - Thanks for pulling out this information. It looks like this is being caused by an inconsistency between the project's default target platform and the platform required by its dependencies. The good news is that this should be easy to fix. [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/co…

  17. NCrunch fails to build when reference is on another drive

    I saw the bug report come through. This is perfect. Thanks! This is a high priority fix and it will be in the next build. I'm expecting the next build to be the RTM of V2 which will be out within the next 2 weeks. NCrunch V1 doesn't use the same file path translation system, so you might be a…

  18. NCrunch fails to build when reference is on another drive

    Hi, thanks for posting and for giving NCrunch a try! Would you be able to submit a bug report straight after you've had this happen to you? You can do this from inside the NCrunch menu. The bug report will contain useful information for reproducing and fixing the issue. To work around the pr…

  19. Possible to hide 100%-covered nodes in statistics?

    Hi Unger - V2 included a complete replacement of the grid component, for a huge range of reasons. I wasn't aware that the filters on this component were actually working correctly in the Metrics view (when I last tested them, they didn't work). Can I take your post as a suggestion that you wo…

  20. NCrunch Metrics - Presentation Format

    Hi, thanks for this! I'll take a look. Note that you can auto-align the columns for best fit by double-clicking the column separator. Cheers, Remco
