  1. Ncrunch VS2012 does not build the project.

    Also - doublecheck that the Gallio.dll file isn't being blocked somehow by your operating system through file I/O permissions or other security measures. Check whether you're able to open the file directly (i.e. using notepad or some other tool).

  2. Ncrunch VS2012 does not build the project.

    Thanks Khushbu - This confirms that for some reason the assembly resolution within .NET is completely ignoring the Gallio.dll file in the NCrunch installation. I don't think we'll have much chance of getting this to work with the DLL in the GAC (as it needs to load plugins based on its current lo…

  3. Ncrunch VS2012 does not build the project.

    Thanks for sending through the report. Based on the information you've provided so far, it looks as though there is something very wrong with how the .NET framework on your machine is handling assembly resolution. Something I don't understand is why this is happening for the Gallio.dll assembly an…

  4. Ncrunch VS2012 does not build the project.

    This is indeed proving to be an ugly one ... Ok, the next thing to try ... Can you submit a bug report after the build exception has occurred? There may be something useful in the log file that can explain why this is happening. Also, is there any chance you can zip up the contents of your 'C…

  5. Ncrunch VS2012 does not build the project.

    I suspect this problem may be caused by shadow copying behaviour inside the IDE process. Please try the following steps: 1. Close down all instances of Visual Studio (check task manager to make sure no devenv.exe processes are running) 2. Delete the contents of your C:\Users\USER\AppData\Loca…

  6. Ncrunch VS2012 does not build the project.

    Thanks Khushbu. Can you check for me whether you have the Gallio.dll file installed under: \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Remco Software\NCrunch for Visual Studio 2012 Also, do you have Gallio (any version) installed on your machine other than the o…

  7. ability to save VS projects as you go?

    Hi, thanks for posting! Many people, including myself, also occasionally suffer from this. It's a problem that can be a bit entertaining in some ways - that you're able to do a considerable amount of reliable work on your solution without ever building or even saving it, and feel safe enough to …

  8. XBehave support

    Hi, thanks for posting! This isn't a framework I'm familiar with myself (you're the first person to ask about it), although a quick analysis suggests that the framework requires some kind of integrated interceptor to execute the assertions before completing the test. I'm not yet sure what's in…

  9. 2 bugs? or strange behaviour?

    Hi, thanks for posting! I'm happy to seeing you taking NCrunch for a spin and I hope it lives up to your expectations. Both of these points above are by design, though I accept that the underlying behaviour is not exactly clear. In the first case, NCrunch only obtains code coverage informatio…

  10. NCrunch instrumentation doesn't show in split/new windows

    Thanks for reporting this. I'll take a look. Cheers, Remco

  11. Ncrunch VS2012 does not build the project.

    Hi, thanks for posting! This looks like an installation issue. NCrunch isn't able to find the Gallio components that are packaged with it inside the MSI. Try following the reinstallation fix [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/troubleshooting_installation-and-setup-problems]described here…

  12. Be able to pin "current" test, not yet executed.

    Hi, thanks for the suggestions! I'll make a note about adding an option to pin all tests in the current file. NCrunch currently isn't scope aware within editor windows - so this is probably the closest I can get at the moment and it seems like a really good idea. NCrunch does actually have th…

  13. Run tests sequentially

    Ahh - so you're experiencing issues with parallelisation then? The best way to solve this would be to make sure your integration tests are properly attributed with the [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_runtime-framework_exclusively-uses-attribute]NCrunch.Framework.ExclusivelyUse…

  14. Projects fail to build with no explanation

    What you're describing isn't normal. NCrunch uses the build process itself to identify dependencies of projects, and in turn the dependencies of dependencies. This means the workings inside the NCrunch workspace should be more or less equivalent to that of your foreground solution - minus any impl…

  15. Ncrunch Build Server integration

    Hi, thanks for posting! At the moment, this isn't possible. It may happen one day, although I have a feeling that it won't be soon. At one stage, there was actually an effort made to build a console runner for NCrunch that could be run on a build server to execute tests in parallel. This faile…

  16. Queue in more tests for each "session" ?

    Hi, The test pipeline builder takes a huge range of different factors into consideration, including the running time of individual tests, the running time of their fixtures, their impact status, failure status, resource usage, etc. I'm aware of a problem/defect at the moment in the pipeline wh…

  17. devenv.exe high CPU usage

    Thanks for the info Peter! The answers you've given above exclude certain areas of the tool that I would have suspected could cause this problem, so my theory is that it may have been caused by a clash between multiple plugins or a bug in VS that was cleared when the package cache was cleared. If …

  18. Cloud projects do not copy correct files

    Hi, As far as I know, NCrunch hasn't been thoroughly tested yet on Azure cloud projects, but that isn't to say it can't be made to work on them. I'll see what I can do about looking at this use case in more detail to ascertain compatibility. The 'csdef' file is a type of file that NCrunch has…

  19. Projects fail to build with no explanation

    Hi Sam, This error is being thrown by postsharp itself. Because NCrunch constructs workspaces using only the dependencies it knows about, a tool such as postsharp (that has an implicit dependency on the PostSharp.dll) is an extra consideration that needs to be treated with an additional referenc…

  20. Passing build parameters

    Thanks for the extra info. I have a workaround that should work for your situation using the current version of NCrunch. It's a bit creative, but I've just tried it out and it should be reliable. The key problem is identifying inside the project file whether or not the build is running as part …
