  1. Can't install 2.0 distributed build server on XP SP3

    Thanks for sharing the workaround. I've also managed to confirm this issue is specific to Windows XP SP3. A fix will be out in the next v2 beta build.

  2. Metrics 'Export to file'

    Hi, Thanks for the feedback! The original export system was built off the export capabilities of the tree list component used to display the data. This component unfortunately had many limitations, and it was replaced in the v2.0 release. As there is now a new component there, I don't see why …

  3. Can't install 2.0 distributed build server on XP SP3

    Hi, Thanks for sharing this. It looks like an XP compatibility issue that will require a fix to be made to the grid node server. The node is supposed to support Windows XP, so I'll see if I can include this in the next beta build. Cheers, Remco

  4. NCrunch 2.0 Load Failure for test project

    Hi! Thanks for reporting V2's first official defect :) Most probably your test project has a particular property that is surfacing this issue. Is there any chance you could submit a bug report? Also, I'm not sure if this is possible based on your IP constraints, but if there is any way I can g…

  5. NCrunch 1.48.0.5 and Visual Studio 2013 failing tests

    Hi Belinda - Great to hear. I'm sure an 8 year old code base must be full of surprises :) Good luck with the cleanup! Cheers, Remco

  6. NCrunch doesn't appear to copy linked content files to output directory

    Hi Carl - I suspect this is a hole in NCrunch's build engine. The linked files likely require special handling that right now isn't being performed by the engine. I'll need to take a look at this to see if I can arrange a fix. You may be able to work around the problem by declaring these files…

  7. NCrunch 1.48.0.5 and Visual Studio 2013 failing tests

    Hi, thanks for posting! As far as I know, there has been no intentional change in behaviour between 1.44 and 1.48 around the source of this configuration. However, there has been a huge number of fixes for other related problems, so it's entirely possible that the behaviour has been changed to r…

  8. Invalid file name in .resx causes builds to stop working indefinitely

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue! It definitely isn't by design. I'm wondering if you might be able to provide me with step by step instructions to reproduce it? If it's possible to recreate, I hope it should be an easy fix. Cheers, Remco

  9. System.NullReferenceException in CombinableComponentUpdateData (diagnostic output)

    My theory is that this is a wayward timer that isn't stopping when it should be. The exceptions shouldn't cause any problems other than just general noise in the output. Provided the sliding build delay isn't set too low, you shouldn't notice any loss in performance. I'll investigate this to se…

  10. System.NullReferenceException in CombinableComponentUpdateData (diagnostic output)

    Hi - Thanks for sending through the bug report for this one. Is there anything specific that seems to have triggered it? Does changing the [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_global-configuration_sliding-build-delay]sliding build delay[/url] to either a non-zero or zero value (o…

  11. Problem Intilizing

    Great to hear. You lose nothing at all. This configuration setting controls whether NCrunch uses a hosted task environment for the task .exe ... at the moment the hosted task environment doesn't give it anything special - it was intended for future features ... but there is a movement away from th…

  12. Clean Machine & New VS Install = No Code Coverage

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Can you confirm whether everything else from NCrunch looks normal? Are you receiving test results in the Tests Window, and does NCrunch look as though its performing work correctly in the Processing Queue? If so, then this is probably a caused by a Visual St…

  13. Problem Intilizing

    Something else to try if a reinstall doesn't do the trick - Try setting the [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_global-configuration_use-hosted-task-runner]Use hosted task runner[/url] global configuration setting to 'False'. This will help deduct whether it's something in the hoste…

  14. Problem Intilizing

    Thanks for submitting the bug report. Can you confirm for me how long the engine was hung before you clicked the 'Submit bug report' option? If it was a while (i.e. 20 seconds or longer), then I suspect that something may be going wrong in NCrunch's attempts to resolve test frameworks that are ins…

  15. Problem Intilizing

    Hi, Thanks for sharing this issue. This is not behaviour by design. Is there any chance you could submit a bug report after you've had this happen to you? Hopefully the log file will contain information I can use to help you get this working. Cheers, Remco

  16. Run pre/post-build events doesn't resolve macros correctly

    Thanks for your understanding. I'm not trying to shoot down your idea - I just have trouble fitting it with the current design of the product in a way that I think will achieve its desired outcome. I really do appreciate the effort you've taken to share the concept with me and I do understand that…

  17. Run pre/post-build events doesn't resolve macros correctly

    If the Additional Files To Include configuration setting doesn't meet your needs, another option that may be worth trying in your situation is to include a reference from the project XML file to the DLL file being referenced. You can do this simply with a 'None' XML element, for example: <ItemGrou…

  18. Run pre/post-build events doesn't resolve macros correctly

    Hi, Thanks for posting and sharing this issue. I believe this issue should be easy to resolve by adding the sqlite3.dll file to the [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_project-configuration_additional-files-to-include]Additional files to include[/url] setting. This will inform…

    Hi Dan - I can confirm that any purchase you make now will absolutely receive the free upgrade to V2. Cheers, Remco

  20. Unicode issues

    Hi, The NCrunch build process must be inheriting the current UI culture from your O/S, then using this to formulate the error messages output from the build process. This is interesting - I did not know that the build process could do this. I'm afraid that there isn't a way to fix this yourse…
