  1. NCrunch Test Menu and Column Management

    Hi Mark, Thanks for the feedback! Almost all of the functions around the columns and the tree view are handled by the 3rd party control used on the page (DevExpress TreeView), and as such I'm not sure whether there's much I can feasibly do to change the behaviour. Still, it's good to hear about…

  2. Show exception details window issue

    The show exception dialog wasn't really designed to provide large amounts of trace information from a failing test - this information is best analysed by navigating to the failing test in the Tests Window and viewing the output there. Still, I don't see any reason why it couldn't be enhanced to be …

  3. Instrument Output Assembly + PostBuildEvent

    I've been digging through the source code of the SheepAspect project and I think I may have found the issue. When SheepAspect performs its manipulation of your output assemblies, it uses Mono.Cecil to write assemblies back to disk along with their symbols. The Mono.Cecil symbol writer is backed …

  4. Tried creating a no-contract build configuration for ncrunch, ncrunch can't build anymore

    Ahh ok - sorry, the preview and beta are both very different things to me (and required different levels of pain in order to support!). I find it a bit disturbing that VS11 follows the behaviour you've described above, and will make a note to look into it deeper. The key issue is that NCrunch need…

  5. Tried creating a no-contract build configuration for ncrunch, ncrunch can't build anymore

    Wow, that sounds quite crazy, but it does make sense. Is there a reason you're still using the VS11 preview? The VS11 Beta may be more stable with NCrunch.

  6. Tried creating a no-contract build configuration for ncrunch, ncrunch can't build anymore

    It looks to me like there is probably more than one thing that's gone wrong here. I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions to better identify what has happened: - Do your msbuild .proj files build successfully via the command line? (i.e. run MSBuild against the project files individually …

  7. NUnit Random Test Inputs Break Ignored

    You're welcome! It seems there is a bug in the dynamic analysis here. Thanks for letting me know.

  8. Instrument Output Assembly + PostBuildEvent

    Does it make any difference if you set your 'process pool size' to 0 in your NCrunch global configuration?

  9. NUnit Random Test Inputs Break Ignored

    Hi, thanks for posting! Do you notice any difference if you change the framework utilisation type for NUnit? (this can be found in your NCrunch solution configuration).

  10. Incorrect file extension: crunchsolution.cache instead of ncrunchsolution.cache

    This is correct. The file should be named using a similar convention to the other configuration files. However, because the file was so close to the convention when the configuration file names were changed, it was kept the same in order to save time. Renaming files can actually be a non trivial …

  11. Lines covered by only passing tests should be unmarked, not marked green

    Hi, thanks for posting! The usage of the green coverage markers is very much down to how you see your code and how you use NCrunch. I'm aware that some users prefer to set the green colour to the same as their editor background colour (so that they don't see the green markers). At this stage I …

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

    This makes sense. NCrunch will need to put out a warning letting people know that it won't be doing any code contracts checking though. Meanwhile, if you want to work around this, there is a blog post from someone that has disabled these build steps for their NCrunch - you may be able to make use …

  13. Instrument Output Assembly + PostBuildEvent

    Thanks for sending through the bug report. I'm currently working to reproduce the problem and will update you as soon as I have a workaround.

  14. Instrument Output Assembly + PostBuildEvent

    Hi Bernhard, Thanks for posting and I'm glad you're enjoying NCrunch! NCrunch only instruments an assembly AFTER the entire build process has finished (including all build events), so I'm wondering if the file lock may be the reverse of what you've described (SheepAOP holding a lock for a shor…

  15. Very High Memory Usage

    Thinking this through, I suspect that the processes running with high memory usage are likely to be the processes used to execute builds. I'll have a look to see if I can do anything about this, but meanwhile you can probably work around the issue by just punching the NCrunch 'reset' button every f…

  16. feature suggestion: discover/recognise NUnit's TestCase attributes

    Thanks, this helps a lot. I'll take a look :)

  17. Can't install VS2010 version

    Ok, this makes sense now. Microsoft are quite big on making sure that extensions such as NCrunch are not supported by VS Express - likely because it undermines their pricing structure. I'm afraid that there is nothing I can do to make NCrunch work for your version of Visual Studio short of encou…

  18. Very High Memory Usage

    Hi Mark, When reading your thoughts about lots of console output, the first thing that this brings to mind is that you may be experiencing problems with heap fragmentation. NCrunch tends to store the console output for tests that have just been executed - in large chunks of allocated memory (if …

  19. feature suggestion: discover/recognise NUnit's TestCase attributes

    Hi Tom - The behaviour of TestCase attributes is determined very much by the 'Framework utilisation type' you are using for NUnit. This is configurable in your NCrunch solution settings. If the utilisation type is set to 'StaticAnalysis', NCrunch will take a shortcut approach in its support f…

  20. Test category not working with MSTest

    Hi Tom, Thanks for reporting this. Would you be able to share a code sample for the above? I can't reproduce this problem for NUnit. Cheers, Remco
