  1. "Clean" operations should remove ncrunch files (such as cache ...)

    Hi, thanks for posting! It's the intention of NCrunch to avoid manipulating the VS/MSBuild build process for the foreground solution, as this is very difficult to do reliably. Clearing out NCrunch data files using a 'Clean' step in the build would involve making changes to either your project fi…

  2. Which NCrunch files/folders should be checked in and controlled by change control?

    Hi - I think that [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/considerations-and-constraints_using-ncrunch-with-source-control]this documentation page[/url] may help answer some questions in this area. Provided you have the same version of NCrunch installed for both VS2010 and VS2012, they shoul…

  3. Offline Documentation

    Hi, Some allowances were made for this during the documentation revision last year, although as few people have asked for it there are no plans yet to address this in the near future. Thanks for providing your vote on this as I do take this into account. Cheers, Remco

  4. VS 2012 Dark Theme Compatability

    Hi, v1.42 of NCrunch (released October last year), introduced a series of [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_global-configuration_tool-window-colours]global configuration options[/url] that allow you to change the colour of the NCrunch tool windows within Visual Studio. The rele…

  5. devenv.exe high CPU usage

    Hi Peter, Thanks for posting! This is the first time this problem has been reported for any recent release of NCrunch. It's true that disabling NCrunch does not shut off the entire add-in (about 10% of it is still in operation). If you haven't already, try uninstalling NCrunch entirely to se…

  6. Embedded resources ending up with extra characters

    NCrunch doesn't care about the file extensions of items in your solution - but other tools likely will, and people will often form associations on what can and cannot be edited by a text editor (i.e. most people will happily edit a .xml file in notepad, though will avoid doing so with a .dat file). …

  7. VS2012 - Beginning of test not marked where a test is failing, coverage markers incorrect

    Thanks for the report - I've seen this one come through and will make an effort to get to the bottom of it. Do also let me know if you manage to find clear steps to reproduce. Cheers, Remco

  8. License valid for multiple installations of VS?

    Hi Kjersti, Thanks for posting! This is not behaviour by design, and the license IS being processed by all the same components and code. Make sure that when you enter the license, you copy/paste both the name and key to be certain they are correct. There is no need to buy a new license for V…

  9. (Minor) NCrunch leaves redundant files when renaming projects/solutions

    My suspicion is that when this happens for you, the reason is probably because NCrunch wasn't able to access the .ncrunchsolution file for your solution. This file contains a property called AutoEnableOnStartup, which is set whenever you enable or disable NCrunch. Is it possible that you have this…

  10. (Minor) NCrunch leaves redundant files when renaming projects/solutions

    Thanks for reporting this - I'll note it down for fix. Can you provide some more details around what happens with the engine before you need to re-enable it? Is it just that it doesn't enable itself? Or does it bug out?

  11. No coverage reporting on Property get - .Net, old-style property

    Lost project references can definitely cause this to happen. Even if you have no intention of continuing with NCrunch long term, I definitely would still recommend working through the warnings and addressing the ones that you are able to. Most of the warnings are caused by structural abnormalities…

  12. Embedded resources ending up with extra characters

    Hi, thanks for posting! When NCrunch works with files that are open in Visual Studio, it extracts their content from the IDE in unicode and transfer them to the workspace, writing them back in unicode with the byte order marks. Where the file uses a different encoding, NCrunch will detect the en…

  13. No coverage reporting on Property get - .Net, old-style property

    Hi Damon - This sounds like a bug. Get/Set properties should definitely be tracked by NCrunch. This could be a mapping problem of some kind. Try doing a reset of the NCrunch engine and see if the resulting test run fixes the issue. Also - have a look at the documentation for an explanation of…

  14. Column indicating no. of bytes of console output per test

    Good suggestion. I'll see what I can do.

  15. Delayed start once the .sln file is opened

    Hi Darius - There are plans to rig up NCrunch in such a way that it can save full state from the previous time the solution was opened, so it doesn't need to reload/rebuild all projects in the solution. This should speed up start-up times and hopefully solve your problem at the same time? I'm h…

  16. Hide projects without tests option in the Tests tab

    That is an option, although we do also need to show projects in the Tests Window in order to organise the tests ...

  17. Hide projects without tests option in the Tests tab

    One of the main issues with the Tests Window is that it does a bit much. It isn't just a window for examining test results - it also holds the build results for projects in your solution. For this reason, it can be hard to come up with a simple design that allows you to focus purely on the tests w…

  18. Incorrect "Assemblies are being referenced from the build output"

    Hi, This message is kicked up by NCrunch when a referenced assembly resolved from MSBuild is being pulled from the same directory as one of the build outputs from another project. It analyses the physical output from MSBuild during a build of your project, and should be very accurate. Note th…

  19. Hide projects without tests option in the Tests tab

    Hi, I'm trying to think of a way that we can solve this problem for you without needing to introduce an additional filter to the tests window (which is already quite overloaded). Do you perhaps have a particular convention for how you label test projects? For example, most projects usually us…

  20. NCrunch popup window on task bar

    Hi, Technically, this is a bug. The popup windows don't require a taskbar entry. I believe this started appearing due to changes in the way that Visual Studio handles the popups inside its process. It's not a serious problem, but it is annoying .. and will be fixed :) Cheers, Remco
