  1. "Build in progress" for extended periods?

    A fix for the above issue has just gone out the door with the 1.38b release. Upgrading is highly recommended!

  2. Tests Using the Ignore Attribute are not visible at all in NCrunch

    1.38b has just been released including the support for customising engine modes, which should improve the above experience.

  3. NCrunch crashes when enabled

    I've beefed up some of the error reporting in this area in the 1.38b release that just went out the door. Hopefully this will help with narrowing down what causes issues like the above.

  4. Is VS 11 Beta supported?

    For anyone interested, 1.38b has just been released including support for VS11 Beta.

  5. Unable to resize columns in Processing Queue window

    Do you have any extraordinarily long test/fixture names in your project? I.e. more than 200 characters.

  6. workspaces taking a lot of disc space

    NCrunch will create as many workspaces as it needs to meet the engine's requirements for parallel build/execution. This means that the number of workspaces you see during a session will be fairly well in proportion with the global performance settings, 'Max number of processing threads' and 'Proces…

  7. NCrunch using out-of-date / non-compiling source files

    The thing that doesn't make sense to me is where the old version of the code is coming from. Basically, NCrunch stores your code in two places: 1. In memory, inside Visual Studio - this is updated on the fly as you make changes to a project, and naturally this would be cleared when you restart V…

  8. Config file manipulations fail

    Hi Roman, Thanks for posting! Can you give me any more details about the DataAccess.InMemory.config? Is this a statically created file that exists as part of your project and is copied to the output directory, or is it dynamically created at run-time through one of your tests? If it's a stati…

  9. NCrunch using out-of-date / non-compiling source files

    Hi Simon, Something I forgot to ask is whether you have any customisations in place as part of your build process. For example, do you make use of any pre/post build steps, 3rd party SDKs or frameworks, overridden build targets, or anything that could be considered out of the ordinary? Is the…

  10. NCrunch using out-of-date / non-compiling source files

    Thanks - I'll take a look at the log file and will get back to you :)

  11. Aggressive Caching on Forum Giving incorrect Read/Unread indicators.

    I was wondering about this one - I've had it happen to me before and couldn't figure out how it was incorrect. Caching makes good sense. I'll note it down to take a look. Thanks for letting me know about it.

  12. Issue with similar assembly names

    For anyone interested, Mark and I identified this issue to be a problem where NCrunch would fail to build a project that is referencing two different projects with the same project file name. A fix has been bundled into the 1.38b release due out this week.

  13. NCrunch using out-of-date / non-compiling source files

    Hi Simon, Thanks for posting! Version related issues like this can be tough to track down as they are often workflow dependent, but with persistence I'm sure we can fix this. The reset button will often be your best friend for this situation where it can occur, as this will cause NCrunch to bl…

  14. Unable to resize columns in Processing Queue window

    This is definitely not right ... Do you notice this problem on any of the other windows? (i.e. tests window). Does the problem resolve itself the next time you start visual studio? Did the window ever appear correct (or was it this way to start with)?

  15. DLLs Copied to project(s) root directory

    Hi, thanks for posting! I've also seen this happen and have had others report it. It's a mystery bug that appears randomly then disappears just as randomly ... I've been trying to track it down but the inconsistency makes reproduction difficult. My suspicion is that it's happening when NCrunc…

  16. Is VS 11 Beta supported?

    Hi John - I'm wondering if you might be able to give me a bit more detail about the issue described above (Enable NCrunch is disabled). Is this a problem you're able to reproduce consistently? Have you been able to work around it? Thanks! Remco

  17. Issue with similar assembly names

    Hi Mark - Thanks again for sending through the bug report. I've had a good look through it and identified the compilation issues, though I'm wondering if you'd be able to provide a bit more information to help me reproduce it. Which similarly named assemblies seemed to be causing the problem …

  18. Config file manipulations fail

    Hi, Thanks for posting. I've done some quick testing on my side and I couldn't recreate any issues with the manipulation of config files in the way you've described - though I haven't yet tested this in detail with any WCF infrastructure. NCrunch does use remoting channels for communication b…

  19. How to pin new tests from the code window?

    Yeah - this is annoying. I've been thinking that the best way to solve this would probably be to have an option that allows new tests to be pinned automatically, as when you're working in 'pinned' mode, all new test that you write are likely to be tests you'd want to run immediately. What are your…

  20. Tests Using the Ignore Attribute are not visible at all in NCrunch

    Hi John, Thanks for posting. Yes you are correct - this is by design. The ability to ignore tests in such a way that they can only be run manually will be part of the upcoming 1.38b release. Cheers, Remco
