  1. The use of the Windows namespace is reserved

    Hi Lee - I'm wondering if you could check something for me. After NCrunch has failed to build your projects, can you try the following? - Right click on the failed build, choose Advanced->Browse to workspace - Find the generated .proj file inside the workspace for this project - Open a co…

  2. Unicode issues

    Hi! Sorry, I'm wondering if you could clarify the issue you've just had come up. Is this the issue with the Tests Window showing incorrect text, or is it the issue related to build errors being shown in the wrong language? Thanks, Remco

  3. GridNode cannot find sn.exe

    I think the problem here is that the latest version of NCrunch doesn't take consideration of machines that have only v4.5.1 of the .NET framework tools installed, but not v4.0. This should be an easy fix from the NCrunch side. Your copying of the file is the correct workaround that I would other…

  4. VStudio2012 freeze with NCrunch "stuck in build"

    My suspicion is that this was caused by a thread safety issue. I'll have a look at this from the NCrunch side, as there may be something I can do about it. Thanks for reporting it. I'm curious about the lag you're receiving in your IDE while running NCrunch. I have observed before IDE sluggish…

  5. VStudio2012 freeze with NCrunch "stuck in build"

    Hi, Thanks for sharing the stack trace ... You did well digging this up and correlating it with the lag. Did VS become completely unresponsive for the whole 20 minutes? Or did it just run really slow? Is this happening for you consistently? The rough edge with this issue is that because…

  6. Usability issue with MSpec tests when showing coverage only for selected assertion

    Thanks for sharing this. Mechanically, MSpec actually runs all the individual 'It' cases together - it is impossible to separate them .. which is quite different from other test frameworks, so I'm actually inclined to agree with you on this. I'll need to have a think about what the correct appro…

  7. Add local machine to the Distributed Processing window

    Hi Yang - Great idea. I particularly like the checkboxes. I'll need to have a look to see how I could implement this. Thanks for the suggestion.

  8. does not exist in the current context

    Sadly not. All test frameworks work with the same compiler and instrumentation, so they all have the same problem. The only way I'm aware of that can reduce the impact of this is if you try to avoid placing logic within methods that make use of await/yield. For example, moving the assertions ab…

  9. How to show Chinese in Tests... window

    Hi, thanks for reporting this. I'll take a look and will see what I can do :) Cheers, Remco

  10. Usability issue with navigating to MSpec test which use behaviors

    Hi, thank for sharing this issue. I agree with you. The navigation to tests, especially in this situation, is not ideal. I'll try to explain why. NCrunch itself is a language agnostic tool that extracts its test location and code coverage data using the debugging information generated by the…

  11. Usability issue with MSpec tests when showing coverage only for selected assertion

    Hi, thanks for posting! The code coverage for the DotIt method isn't shown when you choose to isolate coverage for the test, as this method is covered only by the fixture and not by the test. You'll find that if you were to add additional specs/testmethods to this class, the DoIt method would on…

  12. Building issue with Fody on grid node

    Thanks for the sample solution. I've managed to make this work by including 'packages\Virtuosity.Fody.1.19.5.0\**.*' using the Additional Files For Grid Processing configuration setting. I've also just noticed this setting is undocumented. I'll get that fixed :)

  13. Building issue with Fody on grid node

    Hi Yang - It's been a little while since I've looked at Frody, but I vaguely remember that it required references going back to the original solution location in order to work correctly. In theory, such a thing should be possible on a grid node. The grid nodes replicate the entire solution to…

  14. Using NCrunch v2 restarts build all the time when using Distributed Proccessing

    I've heard some reports of build/test spinners getting stuck perpetually when using the distributed processing, although to date no one has managed to pin down a way to reproduce it. In theory, the engine should drop all knowledge of remote processing when the connection to a remote machine has bee…

  15. Using NCrunch v2 switching between Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 removes GridNodeAddresses

    Great - thanks for the fast response. V1 doesn't know anything about the server list in the config file, so it would just nuke it. In case you do need to run both versions side-by-side, it is possible to store the servers in NCrunch's solution configuration file if you add the servers as being spe…

  16. Using NCrunch v2 restarts build all the time when using Distributed Proccessing

    This may be normal behaviour - I'll try to explain why this could be the case. NCrunch replicates build logic across servers in the grid. This means that if you are running a grid with 2 remote servers and local processing turned on, NCrunch will build your solution 3 times - once on each machin…

  17. Build failed with "SpecificVersion=True"

    Great stuff! I'm glad that did the trick! Something I can recommend is to also look at the defaults that are specified in your .csproj files for the $(Configuration) value. Visual Studio doesn't use these, but many other tools (such as NCrunch) do rely on them. Generally you want the default v…

  18. Using NCrunch v2 switching between Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 removes GridNodeAddresses

    Hi, thanks for posting! Just to clarify - are you running a different version of NCrunch across different versions of Visual Studio? i.e. NCrunch V1 in 2012 and V2 in 2013?

  19. Build failed with "SpecificVersion=True"

    Hi Keith, Thanks for sharing the extra info. I think we're getting closer on this. I'm wondering if you could share some more details on how your test projects are configured. My understanding is that you have at least one project in your solution that can build to either v2 or v4 of the .NE…

  20. NCrunch crashes - can submit crash dmp file?

    Great to hear! Stack overflows can be a bit of a nightmare to track down in a test environment. I guess this was the perfect storm with an overflow appearing inconsistently. I'm glad you tracked it down. Because it works using instrumentation, NCrunch's stack overflow detection is limited to o…
