  1. Last build successful, rebuilding (forever)

    Hi, thanks for posting! Usually this problem is caused by absolute file path references that reach out from NCrunch's workspace and manipulate files that exist in your original solution directory. Make sure you don't have any build steps or tests that access files using absolute file paths. I…

  2. Won't build a project that uses /unsafe compiler switch

    Hi Phil - NCrunch will always use the default build $(Configuration) and $(Platform) that is specified in your .proj files. This can sometimes be a cause of confusion for people, as the build configuration in the Visual Studio IDE allows you to choose (and thus inject) different values into the …

  3. Login to database failed

    It has been very encouraging the number of people who have said to me 'You know? I really didn't actually GET writing tests until I used NCrunch'. I'd be lying if I said this was the original intention of the product, but to this day I see it as one of the best things about it. There's nothing q…

  4. Login to database failed

    I guess it wouldn't be a surprise to you to know that your post brought a big beaming smile to my face :) Much of what has kept me going on this project (and WILL no doubt keep me going) is the same excitement you've described ... about discovering a whole new product area that is almost completely…

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

    I'll note the NUnit 2.6.1 issue down to be resolved in a future build, hopefully v1.42. Thanks for making me aware of it! Cheers, Remco

    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

  7. 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…

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

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

  9. 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…

  10. "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

  11. 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…

  12. 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…

  13. 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…

  14. 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…

  15. 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…

  16. IDL files don't copy

    No problem :)

  17. 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 '…

  18. 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].

  19. 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…

  20. "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…
