  1. Getting NCrunch to load NUnit Addins

    Hi - I'm afraid that the official line on this is that NUnit plugins are still not supported by NCrunch. There IS code within NCrunch that will attempt to load them in a basic scenario, but because the plugins themselves are so configurable, there is no way to warrant that NCrunch will work reli…

  2. Extensions for NCrunch

    Thanks for your feedback on this! There are still long term plans to introduce something in this area, although I think you'll find that any solution in this space won't allow for development of plugins that support non .NET languages. This is because these languages would require a completely dif…

  3. Only show coverage from pinned tests (or disable coverage and rerun pinned tests).

    Hi, This is a great suggestion and it fits well with the upcoming idea of adding new configurable options that can be attached to individual engine modes. You might be interested to learn that option A is actually easier to implement, as it gives a clean solution where the coverage is shown sele…

  4. Fitnesse

    Hi James, At the moment, there aren't any extensibility points within NCrunch that would allow this to be introduced outside the core project, but I can put this on the requested feature list for you :)

  5. Fitnesse

    Hi James, I'm afraid not. This would require a specialised test framework adapter designed for Fitnesse itself. At the moment, no adapter for this exists. Can I take your question as a request that you would like one to be introduced? Cheers, Remco

  6. NCrunch and Typemock

    Hi Joachim - NCrunch will automatically detect the presence of Typemock Isolator and will begin launching its task runners using a proxy process (TMockRunner.exe). The stack trace you have provided above suggests that the TMockRunner.exe is failing to launch the NCrunch process. I've been hea…

  7. Ncrunch not cleaning up user's Temp directory

    Hi, thanks for posting! There is no code within NCrunch that specifically makes use of the temp folder. NCrunch will only copy files to the [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_global-configuration_workspace-base-path]workspace base path[/url], and there are many mechanisms in pla…

  8. Change build configuration/platform for entire solution.

    This makes sense - I'll see what I can do. The entire configuration system is due for a major overhaul. I'm not sure yet when this will happen, but it makes sense to introduce such a setting as part of a broader plan to make the configuration more flexible.

  9. Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Inside the NCrunch install directory (usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Remco Software\NCrunch for Visual Studio 2012), there should be a number of config files for each of the task runners used by NCrunch to exec…

  10. Ignore tests using attributes

    Generally I'd recommend doing this by [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/concepts_engine-modes]customising the engine modes[/url] in the solution with criteria that can exclude certain tests by category. You can then categorise the tests using the category attribute applicable to your test f…

  11. Errors building with SlowCheetah

    Great to hear. I definitely recommend placing the NCrunch config files in source control. They may only be noise to other team members, but it's important that these settings are versioned correctly alongside your code. You can find more information about which files to place in source control [u…

  12. Tests tree in NChrunch Tests tool window collapses on tool window hide

    Thanks for the clip - this definitely shows the problem very clearly. It looks as though VS is deconstructing the tool window and reinitialising it when it becomes visible. This resets the collapse status in the grid. The upcoming V2 release is a complete rewrite of the code in this area, and…

  13. Tests tree in NChrunch Tests tool window collapses on tool window hide

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Does this happen if the Tests Window is not docked with any of the edges in Visual Studio? (i.e. if its floating?) There shouldn't normally be anything unique about this window. Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but are you certain that the 'pin' o…

  14. Ncrunsh copies assemblies to Solution Dir and Root Dir of Web Application

    Thanks Daniel, do let me know how you get on. Also, feel free to submit a bug report the next time you have this happen to you. I'm always looking for opportunities to pin this issue down so it can be isolated in a development environment, and the log file may yield some interesting clues as to wh…

  15. Ncrunsh copies assemblies to Solution Dir and Root Dir of Web Application

    Hi Daniel - At the moment the reason for the file copying isn't clear. This appears to happen inconsistently in a small minority of environments, and there are so many variables involved that presently we haven't found a way to reproduce the issue in an environment where it can be fixed. My sus…

  16. Errors building with SlowCheetah

    Hi James - The update to the new version of SlowCheetah has changed the name of the directory NCrunch is referencing in order to find SlowCheetah's build tasks. You need to align your NCrunch configuration with the new directory name. Have a look at the [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation…

  17. Possible to retry failed tests if particular regex(es) match output?

    Hi Peter - From what you've described, the setup you're using should allow NCrunch to run these tests in parallel. Because the tests are always in separate processes and you're testing in-process, there shouldn't be any interference around the parallelisation of the tests. The randomisation of …

  18. Dlls dont update

    Hi, thanks for posting! NCrunch is an automated testing tool and background build tool - it isn't designed to build projects for direct execution in IIS or in other applications. It is primary a test runner. This means that the files output from the NCrunch build are stored within a specially…

  19. NCrunch fails to build solution with deeply nested linked file

    Hi Mike - Thanks for sharing this issue. The problem is caused by a structural limit in the file system that prevents file paths being longer than a fixed length. There is no way for NCrunch to automatically work around this as it needs to space files relative to their parent project in the w…

  20. Ncrunsh copies assemblies to Solution Dir and Root Dir of Web Application

    Hi Daniel - Sorry, I don't think I explained this very well .. the files actually aren't supposed to be copied at all - they shouldn't even be in your commit list. There are things you can do to prevent this bug from showing. The link shown above contains a post giving step by step instructions…
