  1. nCrunch exit code

    Great to hear you isolated the issue. NCrunch V2 is expected to bring improved handling of stack overflows. It's a tricky area, as a stack overflow generally causes the CLR to completely annihilate the process with no chance of recovery.

  2. NCrunch and Typemock

    Great! Thanks for sharing this information, I'm sure that others will find it useful. There are no known compatibility issues between NCrunch and PostSharp - although you may need to turn on the 'Copy referenced assemblies to workspace' setting for projects that make use of it.

  3. nCrunch exit code

    Hi Rattle - NCrunch tries to handle every exception it can, with the intention of reporting more detailed information as part of the test result. Because of this, any exit codes returned from the testhost process are indicative of a system error that NCrunch isn't able to handle or accurately re…

  4. 1.47 is missing nCrunch.TestHost.x64.exe

    Hi Olaf - Because of a packaging and deployment issue, the x64 task runner was left out of the 1.47.0.12 package. I've updated the download page with a new revision of 1.47 - 1.47.0.18, which has the x64 task runner included. I'm very sorry for the trouble. If you download and install the …

  5. Getting NCrunch to load NUnit Addins

    In theory, NUnit should try to load from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Remco Software\NCrunch for Visual Studio 2012\bin\addins - although admittedly I have never personally seen this work ... it may be worth a try. The only situation I have observed N…

  6. 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…

  7. 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…

  8. 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…

  9. 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 :)

  10. 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

  11. 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…

  12. 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…

  13. 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.

  14. 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…

  15. 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…

  16. 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…

  17. 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…

  18. 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…

  19. 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…

  20. 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…
