  1. Login to database failed

    Sorry, I think I was posting that last reply while yours was appearing in the forum! Do let me know if I can be of any further help. Cheers, Remco

  2. Login to database failed

    Hi Corey - We're starting to assemble quite a long chain of in and out replies, so I'll try to assemble the relevant pieces here and create a general plan of attack. From what you've described, the time/stamp issue is the major show-stopper for you at the moment. Although I'm slightly confuse…

  3. Features I need before I can pay for NCrunch.

    Hi, Thanks for sharing this feedback. I'll see what I can do. Cheers, Remco

  4. An error occurred while analysing this project after it was built: System.NullReferenceException

    Hi Daniele, Thanks for posting! This is an internal NUnit issue that I would guess is being caused somehow by the structure of one of your tests/fixtures. Is there any chance I could take a look at this source code? If you only have a few tests in the project, a copy/paste of this would be f…

  5. "Show Tests Covering Line" window doesn't like being moved

    No problem. I've noted the issue down to be addressed. Thanks for reporting it! Cheers, Remco

  6. Login to database failed

    Sorry - I just realised there was a post of yours above (the big one) that I missed reading ... I realise there was a bit of frustration behind this post, so I'll try my best to reply to this now. Considering the level of complexity of your solution, it isn't a huge surprise to me that getting NC…

  7. Login to database failed

    When copying files into workspaces for processing, NCrunch will attempt to preserve the timestamp of any project file that is not a source file or has been opened by the IDE. The reasoning behind this is actually quite simple - the contents of the workspace are transient and equivalent to the conte…

  8. When loading a large solution, please do not start nCrunch

    In VS2010, it isn't technically possible for NCrunch to start loading the projects until the IDE has completed it's loading of the solution, as VS won't send out project notifications until the solution is in place. Most likely, the loss of responsiveness is being caused by heavy I/O activity. N…

  9. Pause please.

    Thanks for the suggestion. As a limited method of pausing, you may find the 'Manual mode' engine mode useful. This will prevent NCrunch from running tests without needing to disable it, which should reduce the system load during SCM updates etc. At the moment there isn't a feasible way to stop NC…

  10. Login to database failed

    Great to hear you managed to find the problem. I find it interesting that SQL would throw an error like this over a relative path issue, although I guess with a view of the code this probably makes sense. Thanks for all your feedback. Others have also requested making better use of the column s…

  11. IDL files don't copy

    No problem :)

  12. Login to database failed

    If the connection string is correct, then one possible point of difference I can think of here (as you've already stated) would be the user that is being assumed by the test runner during the execution of your test. During its execution, NCrunch will set up test runners processes under the name '…

  13. IDL files don't copy

    Sorry. This is the result of a known issue that appeared in the 1.41b build. You can find more information including a workaround [url=http://forum.ncrunch.net/yaf_postst599_1-41b---Additional-files-to-include--not-working.aspx]here[/url].

  14. NCrunch rebuild all projects and runs all the tests when code changes

    Determining whether or not a change made to a file could impact the results of tests is actually (almost?) impossible to do reliably. It's for this reason that NCrunch works as more of a prioritisation engine than a test-excluding one. Although to us developers it may seem very obvious (hell, it's…

  15. "Show Tests Covering Line" window doesn't like being moved

    Hi Mark - It looks as though Visual Studio has tried to 'remember' the position of the dialog even though it isn't a tool window pane. Try deleting the .suo file associated with your solution (while Visual Studio is closed). If this doesn't do the trick, try the following: 1. Uninstall N…

  16. VS11 ShimNotSupportedException when using Shimming from Microsoft Fakes

    Still working on this one :)

  17. IDL files don't copy

    Hi Corey - This is a file type that NCrunch isn't familiar with, so by default it won't include it in the workspace. You can work around this by adding the file to the 'Additional files to include' project-level NCrunch configuration setting. I'll add the file type to the autoconfiguration li…

  18. Login to database failed

    Hi Corey, Thanks for posting! NCrunch will spawn test processes under the same user account you use to run Visual Studio, so in theory you should be able to give this user access to the database and the security should work without problems. NCrunch's test runner itself doesn't know anything …

  19. My tests can't find an additionally included file

    Great to hear - I'm glad that solved the problem. There are no static references from the NCrunch code into NCrunch.Framework.dll. This means it's possible for you to copy any of the attribute types inside NCrunch.Framework into your own test project and NCrunch will still consider them as thoug…

  20. My tests can't find an additionally included file

    Hi Sam - NCrunch emulates the deployment behaviour of MSTest, which basically involves setting up a separate sandbox for each test while that test is executed. This can be a source of confusion, as NCrunch also builds its own workspace (so we're basically talking about a sandbox within a workspa…
