  1. changing NCrunch settings does not automatically check out .ncrunchporject files

    Sadly it's never quite as simple as that. Assuming it could be made to work, there is also the reality of maintaining and testing the integration point with all source control systems that are integrated with Visual Studio. With the rate of change in this area, such investment would take time away…

  2. NCrunch & RIA Services => build error

    This does make sense to me. I'll need to learn a bit more about the WCF linked projects to better understand if there are any special implications for NCrunch's workspacing, but I'll definitely have a look into it in more detail when introducing the silverlight support. Thanks for making me aware …

  3. changing NCrunch settings does not automatically check out .ncrunchporject files

    Hi, thanks for posting! Which source control system are you using? Does it have options around optimistic locking for certain files? At the moment NCrunch doesn't have any integration with source control systems. Besides not trying to pick favourites, the reason for this is mostly to try and…

  4. Remember Metrics Layout

    Great suggestion, thanks! I'll see what I can do.

  5. Enable monitoring of objects during and after test runs

    Hi Lars, Thanks for posting and for sharing this suggestion. I have been considering for some time ways in which NCrunch can capture more information during test runs, as it would be extremely useful to be able to somehow show this information inline in the IDE while you work. It would be yet a…

  6. Cancelling Configuration Wizard

    Hi Mark, Thanks for posting! It's always great to hear feedback on the usability around this wizard, as with it being the first thing that a user is ever presented with when they use NCrunch, it's very important that it's intuitive and useful. Unfortunately it does seem to be impossible to pr…

  7. x86 vs x64 (Sqlite)

    Hi, thanks for posting! The test environment used by NCrunch needs to be either a 32-bit OR a 64-bit environment (NCrunch does not use AnyCPU). This means that you will need to be certain of the format of the assemblies that you are loading into your test environment, as it isn't possible to hav…

  8. NCrunch & RIA Services => build error

    Hi, thanks for posting! At the moment NCrunch doesn't officially support Silverlight projects, so I can't guarantee that it will be possible to get this working. One thing that may work is to add the entire Web project (with all of its source files) to the linking project by using the 'Additio…

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

    Hi, thanks for posting! The first thing that always comes to mind when I hear about intermittent build errors is to try removing as much complexity from your build process as possible. This means that if you're using custom build steps or 3rd party frameworks, try disabling these to see if the p…

  10. No coverage markers after upgrading

    Hi, thanks for posting! Yes, this does sound like the same problem as described for the 2012 RC (Adornment layers messed up). Glad you managed to fix it! Cheers, Remco

  11. System.NullReferenceException when running with isolator V7

    Sadly I still haven't heard back from the Isolator team. It's starting to look like NCrunch's support for Isolator may just end with V6.

  12. View White Space interacts badly with Coverage Markers

    I see what you mean. Thanks for making me aware of this. It's not something that can be immediately fixed but I'll note it down for review. Cheers, Remco

  13. Portable class libraries fail to build if they include metro

    Hi, thanks for posting! As Metro/WinRT is still very new, it is not yet a supported platform by NCrunch's build or test process. In the long term I hope to get there, but it may take a little while. Meanwhile the workaround you are using (host the same files in a normal 4.5 project) is the sugg…

  14. NCrunch not responding at all

    Hi Laila, I've done a thorough code review to try and narrow down where the exception could be happening based on the information you've provided me. At the moment all is pointing towards the VS integration code that executes during NCrunch's initialisation. This means that even if we were to…

  15. Position of coverage markers

    Thanks for reporting this. I have my doubts that it will be easy to fix, so I may need to address it as a long term goal. I'll see what I can do. Cheers, Remco

  16. Inscrutable build error

    Thanks for the reproduction. I'll note it down to be fixed! Cheers, Remco

  17. Appearance of Corner Indicator

    I just thought I'd add that you can actually customise the colours used to make up the corner spinner inside your NCrunch global configuration. If you set many of the colours to be similar to eachother, you'll reduce the visible complexity of the indicator and create a result that could be quite cl…

  18. Appearance of Corner Indicator

    Hi Yang, Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not sure if I could implement such a change without a significant amount of similar feedback from other users, as the aspects of the spinner that you've suggested removing do actually contain a wealth of very useful information (especially on solutions wit…

  19. Conditional expression evaluated wrong by NCrunch

    I have a bit of a theory about what may be happening. It's just a theory, and at this stage I don't have much hard evidence to back it up ... but a theory is better than nothing! Is the 'OSIs64Bit' method defined in a different assembly to the test project containing the failing test? If so, wh…

  20. NCrunch not responding at all

    Do you mind if I throw a bunch of questions at you? This will help me to better understand what is going on: - When you say you delete the global configuration for NCrunch, do you mean the globalconfig.crunch.xml file under your roaming profile? Are there any other files that seem to make a dif…
