  1. Test Using DeployItem attribute throw errors

    Hi Digicoder - I've looked into this in a bit more depth, and I've been having trouble getting MSTest to use the DeploymentItem myself when it is applied to a ClassInitialize method. Do you know if there are any circumstances under which this should work? Looking through various scraps of docum…

  2. Build failure - no space before base class

    Hi John, Nice analysis. The csproj encoding changes are normal, but NCrunch forgetting the content of the source file is definitely not. I have a feeling this is the same issue you described earlier, though affecting a different file. The problem itself will be something in the way that NCrunc…

  3. minimum execution time in tooltip

    Hi Balfa, Thanks for the suggestion. I can see other opportunities here too, such as adding in a 'Maximum execution time'. The metrics shown could be configurable and therefore better suited to your situation. Cheers, Remco

  4. Test Using DeployItem attribute throw errors

    Thanks! Great to hear. I'll make a note to sort this out so that the DeploymentItem also works on the setup method, as this will be more consistent with MSTest's implementation. Cheers, Remco

  5. NCrunch Build Failing With RamDisk + NuGet Enable Restore

    Hi Steve - There is currently a known problem with disk consumption when using a number of Nuget packages with NCrunch - http://forum.ncrunch.net/yaf_postst336_Constantly-running-out-of-disk-space-on-my-6GB-RamDrive-with-a-200mb-solution.aspx I'm currently working on a fix for this. Meanwhile…

  6. Doesnt run [Theory] tests

    Thanks - that confirms that the issue is with Gallio's static analysis of the Xunit tests. I'm not sure what can be done about this in the short term, but I am expecting to make some revisions around the Xunit integration in future so hopefully it will later be fixed.

  7. Doesnt run [Theory] tests

    Hi, thanks for reporting this issue. Does the issue still occur if you set your 'Framework utilisation type for Gallio' to 'DynamicAnalysis' inside your NCrunch solution configuration?

  8. 'continuous build' output available for (Ctrl)F5?

    Hi, thanks for posting! The main vision of NCrunch has always been to try and get out of the way of the IDE and the normal build system. This is done for a number of reasons: Interference with other user/IDE processes - Having a continuous test runner constantly locking files and manipulating…

  9. Test Using DeployItem attribute throw errors

    Hi, thanks for posting. It looks as though NCrunch is having difficulty with the DeploymentItem existing on the static fixture setup method. Does this work correctly for you if you move the item to the test method instead? Thanks! Remco

  10. Find test coverage issues report

    In a sense, this is what the Tests Window was designed to do. I think a key feature that the Tests Window lacks is the ability to easily navigate back to the code via stack trace navigation - which is something I hope to fix soon. Thanks for the suggestion :)

  11. Test coverage at a glance

    Thanks for the suggestion. I had been looking at summary markers for methods (perhaps with a different shape), although the idea of also having markers at a class level wasn't something I had considered - and it's definitely a good idea.

  12. Tests build & run in VS2010, but not in NCrunch

    The tricky thing with solving this inside NCrunch is that doing so would require NCrunch to have a logical understanding of the entire workings of the build scripts being included by the <Import> tags in the proj file. In the case of Cavity, a very rudimentary understanding would be ok (as the scri…

  13. VS11 ShimNotSupportedException when using Shimming from Microsoft Fakes

    Hi, thanks for posting! My first thought on reading this is that NCrunch's instrumentation is interfering with Fakes at a runtime level. There are other mocking frameworks that work in a similar way, and NCrunch has specific catch-points to deal with their logic. In the current version of NCrun…

  14. Tests build & run in VS2010, but not in NCrunch

    Hi Alan! It's great to hear from you and I hope that all is well. I've had a go at running NCrunch against Cavity, and I think that you may have some work ahead of you to make NCrunch work correctly against a solution of this structure. NCrunch works by extracting individual projects from the…

  15. Indicators missing! Uninstalled extension by mistake.

    Hi, thanks for posting! My assumption is that you're running VS2010, so please do correct me if I need to revise these instructions. When you uninstall a VS extension using the extension manager, it will immediately disable the extension by marking it for deletion. This creates a somewhat unu…

  16. very long time to build new workspace - possibly the cause is nuget

    I like your idea of showing the message if the packages dir is empty or missing. To me this would probably catch around 99% of the error cases and could give a meaningful message asking the user to rebuild their solution before enabling NCrunch. I'll see what I can do about implementing this pro…

  17. very long time to build new workspace - possibly the cause is nuget

    This is possible, but then there is the underlying question of why a user would be making use of nuget package restore. The main reason I could think of is if they were working with a solution under which all Nuget packages had been deliberately left out of source control. In this case, there is…

  18. very long time to build new workspace - possibly the cause is nuget

    Hi, You're absolutely correct with all of the above. NCrunch is copying all the nuget references into each isolated workspace for each component, and this creates a lot of grinding. It also uses a lot of disk space. NCrunch won't recopy the nuget packages again once the engine is properly wo…

  19. Hotkey for "Ignore all tests outside current file" + counterparts

    Hi, thanks for posting and thanks for the feedback! NCrunch has a feature that you might find interesting (you may have already seen it, but I thought it worth checking). If you right-click a test in the Tests Window (or the code coverage popup) to bring up the context menu, then look under 'Adv…

  20. Build failure - no space before base class

    That's ok - do let me know if you experience another occurrence of the issue, I have a feeling we're getting close.
