  1. Getting NCrunch to load NUnit Addins

    Hi Xerxes - Right now NCrunch doesn't support NUnit addins, as they require additional steps to be taken during the initialisation of the test environment in order to function. Can you share any details about the BDD framework you're using? Perhaps I can suggest an alternative approach. …

  2. Getting build errors after a delay - project builds and runs fine

    Hi Jason - NCrunch deliberately disables Nuget package restore as part of its own build process, as this feature introduces serious performance problems within NCrunch. Essentially, Nuget package restore involves the build process reaching out to the Nuget server and downloading any missing pa…

  3. Debug namespace problem

    Hi, This is a problem caused by the PDB manipulation performed by NCrunch. It's been around for a while, but it's a very tough one to fix. Because the V1 builds need to be as stable as possible, I can't risk further changes in this area until the V2 release. Sorry, I know it's annoying. C…

  4. Optional argument causes build error when PCL does not target Silverlight

    For anyone experiencing this problem, a potential workaround is to turn off the 'Instrument Output Assembly' setting for the project failing to build. Although this will turn off code coverage for the project, it should allow other depending projects in your solution to build and be processed norma…

  5. Disable nCrunch whilst nuGet is updating...

    Thanks Ollie. I'm afraid that source control integration in this particular instance is probably not something that I'm able to commit to. The level of integration needed to make this work would likely require significant effort. I'll make a note on the backlog to take a look, but I think it's a …

  6. Disable nCrunch whilst nuGet is updating...

    The challenging thing about source control is that many source control systems are external to the Visual Studio IDE, which makes it difficult to establish when they are performing the update. Which source control system are you using? Cheers, Remco

  7. Optional argument causes build error when PCL does not target Silverlight

    Hi Yang, Thanks for reporting this problem - it looks to be very similar to a resolution issue that was fixed in 1.42, which suggests there is more to this issue than first thought. I'll see if I can arrange a fix for it in the next minor revision. Cheers, Remco

  8. Browse to workspace as a minor change

    Absolutely. All decimal releases are minor and do not require a new license. The release date of 1.43 is variable at the moment, although I'm aiming to have the build ready about 3-4 weeks from now.

  9. Nested project imports not copied to NCrunch workspace?

    Hi David, Thanks for posting! This is a known issue for which so far no reliable solution has been found. You can work around the problem by using the 'Additional files to include' setting to include the build files that are required by the included import. Thanks for sharing the reproduct…

  10. Disable nCrunch whilst nuGet is updating...

    Hi Ollie, Thanks for the suggestion! I'm not sure yet whether there are any hooks in the Nuget code that I can use to identify this scenario, but I'll certainly take a look. Cheers, Remco

  11. Browse to workspace as a minor change

    Great to hear! I have a backlog task planned for the 1.43 release that will involve adding a new environment variable to the NCrunch build process that points back to the original solution location - I think this is what you're asking for. I'd be very interested to hear how you've found this new f…

  12. Browse to workspace as a minor change

    I have an idea that may make this easier .. I'm wondering if you're keen to give it a try. If it works well for you, I may introduce it as a packaged feature. The NCrunch workspaces aren't really designed with the intention of executing applications directly. Because they always end up in diffe…

  13. Project won't build

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. I find it a bit strange that this problem surfaced only in the NCrunch build and not in the Visual Studio one. Is the CodeAnalysisRuleSet option perhaps specified in a platform/configuration-specific section of the project file? I'm glad you've managed to solv…

  14. Roadmap

    Hi, thanks for posting! A roadmap is coming together for V2 of NCrunch, although I'd prefer not to make hard commitments around what will be in this release until it's actually near delivery (with the exception of the [url=http://www.ncrunch.net/support/frameworks]compatibility improvements alrea…

  15. Browse to workspace as a minor change

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion! Although adding a toolbar option is a fairly low risk/effort task, I'd first like to learn a bit more about the use case you're following to see if I can offer you something better. Are you using the NCrunch workspaces to run an application that has been built by…

  16. Encoding problem in 1.42.0.12

    Hi, Thanks for reporting this problem. The issue itself appears to be some kind of rendering problem inside the Richedit control used by NCrunch to display the test output. Although the data being stored in the control is correct, certain characters can cause it to show in a corrupted form. …

  17. Optional default generic parameter on object type is resolving to System.Reflection.Missing not null

    Hi Jon - Thanks for supplying the sample solution! This immediately allowed me to reproduce the problem. Hopefully I should have this resolved soon. Cheers, Remco

  18. Anybody reading mails from the Contact page?

    Hi Calvin, Timezones being what they are, I've followed up with you directly via the email address you have registered with this system. It seems the 'lost contact request' problem still exists. I'll continue to investigate. Thanks for taking the time to post here and sorry for the trouble. …

  19. Pricing model and future upgrades

    Hi Jeff, Upgrades will be annual and in line with major product releases. This means that if you purchase a company seat license now, then you can expect to spend about 50% of $289 ($144.50) late in 2013 if you want to upgrade to NCrunch V2. Upgrades are not compulsory. V1 licenses will cont…

  20. Optional default generic parameter on object type is resolving to System.Reflection.Missing not null

    Hi, When running this code myself, it seems to work correctly. There have been previous reports of similar issues around 'default default' generic parameters, so I do think that there is a bug here. Which version of the .NET framework is this project compiled for? Also, is there anything e…
