  1. Visual Studio Express

    Hi - This actually has little to do with NCrunch and more to do with Visual Studio Express. VS Express does not support 3rd party packages such as NCrunch. So I'm afraid there are no plans to support VS Express in future. Cheers, Remco

  2. MetricsExclusions saved as absolute paths

    Yes, this makes good sense. Thanks for letting me know about the merge issues ... I'll see what I can do.

  3. Interference with normal debug

    Hi Patrick, NCrunch doesn't really have any connection with the normal build operation within Visual Studio, so if this issue is NCrunch related than it's likely to be indirectly so (which makes it very hard to track down). So far I haven't heard any reports of similar behaviour - though this is…

  4. Local variables unavailable when debugging

    For anyone interested, Will helped me to reproduce this problem and I was able to confirm that it was related to the manner in which the C# compiler handles the 'yield' statement. I'm currently looking into ways in which this can be fixed. To reduce the scope of the problem, it's recommended you t…

  5. Compile Errors Hyperlinking.

    Thanks - this helps a great deal. Next round of questions: - If you move the horizontal scrollbar far to the right so that the code is no longer visible (add lots of spaces if you have to), then try to navigate to the test, does the horizontal scrollbar move in any way? - Can you submit a bug…

  6. Compile Errors Hyperlinking.

    Thanks. A few more questions to help narrow this down: - Which version of Visual Studio are you running? - Does the problem occur on other solutions too? (i.e. if you just create a small dummy C# project with 1 test, does it work?) - Do you have other team members that also use NCrunch in your…

  7. Macro support

    Hi, thanks for posting! This is an interesting idea. At the moment NCrunch isn't designed to be able to cleanly handle a feature like this as the definition of a 'test run' can actually be very subjective in the context of true continuous testing, but I do have very long term plans to introduce …

  8. Compile Errors Hyperlinking.

    Hi Marqus - Do you have any collapsed code of any kind in the file you're navigating to? (I.e. methods, classes, etc .. doesn't need to be a region).

  9. Test metrics

    Hi Kris, Thanks for posting and I'm glad you're enjoying NCrunch and the new metrics view! Right now there isn't any feature that allows you to exclude individual lines from the metrics or code coverage, although I am looking at ways in which this could be done. I'm looking at perhaps using inl…

  10. links to failing line of code acts odd when methods collapsed

    Hi John - Thanks for reporting this. Right now NCrunch does have a known problem where collapsed methods and regions are messing up line identification during navigation. I hope to have this fixed soon. Cheers, Remco

  11. Skip unnecessary costly build steps (code analysis / code contracts static checker) when possible

    Hi James, Sorry - I didn't realise that disabling this option in such a way would have this effect on your tests. Based on what you've described, having two settings does make sense. I'll see what I can do. Cheers, Remco

  12. Visual Studio 2010 hangs when adding a new item

    This is very strange. I'm curious about where this is hanging. Is there any chance you'd be able to hook the Visual Studio debugger on a hung instance of Visual Studio, break into it and example the running threads? I'd really like to get a stack trace from Visual Studio's main thread.

  13. MSpec empty tests should be reported as FAILED not PASSED

    Hi Der-Albert! The problem here stems from NCrunch's lack of a 3rd state for test results - NCrunch does not have an inconclusive state (only pass/fail), so there needs to be some way to handle situations where the test runner reports an inconclusive state at runtime. This is also a problem for …

  14. Local variables unavailable when debugging

    Hi Will - If it's possible, I'd really like to have a look at the solution. I'll DM you with some contact information so we can discuss it offline. Thanks! Remco

    Absolutely

  16. Error line marker disapears after installing .NET language pack

    I've created a development build to specifically fix this problem (and other problems related to non-english language packs). You can grab it from the download links below: http://files.ncrunch.net/NCrunch_VS2008_1.40.1b.msi http://files.ncrunch.net/NCrunch_VS2010_1.40.1b.msi http://files.ncru…

  18. Partial coverage display but failed test

    Hi - Thanks for reporting this. It's possible there is a mapping issue here, although I'm having some trouble visualising the behaviour of the markers. If you experience this issue again, would you be able to take a screenshot? This would help enormously. Thanks! Remco

  19. Very long initalization time

    Hi Marqus, Based on what you've described, my first thought is that you may have an excessive amount of data held in the NCrunch .cache file adjacent to your solution (.sln) file. NCrunch will store trace output from tests in this file, so if you've had a test that went crazy and produced an abn…

  20. Recognize xUnit Facts part of child classes

    Thanks for posting! Right now the Gallio adapter NCrunch is using for Xunit tests has a known issue where nested tests will not be found when using static analysis. You can work around this by changing your 'Framework utilisation type for Gallio' to 'DynamicAnalysis' under your NCrunch solution …
