  1. NCrunch 1.33b occasionally fails to build an assembly, but provides no error information

    Gotcha. I was thinking the same thing, but piggybacking off the same project file. I think the key question here would be the target framework used for building the tests that cover the cross-target project. Right now NCrunch can't build SL application domains, so the tests themselves would nee…

  2. Cannot build with unloaded (dependent) projects

    Hi, thanks for posting! Right now NCrunch doesn't have any handling for unloaded projects. The reason for this is because it cannot read any metadata from the project unless Visual Studio has it loaded, and therefore would be unable to safely determine the location of the project's primary outpu…

  3. NCrunch 1.33b occasionally fails to build an assembly, but provides no error information

    In theory this is possible. You could make use of the 'UseBuildConfiguration' setting in NCrunch to tell it to use a different build configuration, then rig up your project file to build for non-SL .NET 4.0 under this build configuration. I guess it would create quite a bit of work for you though,…

  4. NCrunch fails to build

    Thanks for sending through the report. It looks as though Visual Studio is loading the NCrunch Taskrunner.dll file from a shadow copied location. This is really wrong. Try removing the contents of the User\AppData\Local\assembly directory - hopefully this will kick it to start using the proper …

  5. Indicators have vanished

    Ok - essentially the issue is being caused by a VS service that is failing to properly add the adornment layer that NCrunch uses for placing the coverage markers onscreen. I've tried somewhat to reproduce this issue in my development environment but have had no luck with this. The issue itself has…

  6. NCrunch continually failing with "process cannot access the file"

    Ok - according to the bug report, NCrunch is building on top of the locked file because it isn't aware of anything that's using the process. I think the next step would be to establish whether NCrunch is responsible for holding the lock, or if it's something else doing this. Would you be able to t…

  7. Indicators have vanished

    Were either of these plugins installed around the same time that NCrunch stopped working? Or have there been any other changes to your Visual Studio installation (i.e. service pack install) that happened about this time?

  8. NCrunch fails to respond

    Thanks - It sounds like some kind state related issue... If you have it happen again, would you be able to submit a bug report using the NCrunch menu? There have been a number of changes in the upcoming 1.36b that should fix issues like this, though it pays to be sure. Cheers, Remco

  9. Indicators have vanished

    I received the bug report and had a look at the trace. It looks as though this is being caused by some kind of plug-in clash. Are you able to let me know which other plugins you have installed in VS2010?

  10. Allow "Debug" runner mode by telling VS to attach to the test runner

    It's hard to make promises on a feature like this, as it's a bit tied in with some engine workflow changes that need to be introduced ... and the priority still needs to sit with making sure the engine is free of compatibility problems. My current goal is to have a build with this early in the new …

  11. NCrunch fails to build

    You can submit a bug report using the NCrunch menu - this contains a trace log showing the workings of the engine leading up to the error .. this will help to figure out what's going on. Is this the first time you've used NCrunch? If not, has it worked for you before? Also ... can you check w…

  12. NCrunch fails to build

    This happens when NCrunch is unable to access/find its taskrunner executables. The most common cause is if something went wrong during the install process. Does doing an uninstall/reinstall of the 1.35b solve this problem?

  13. NCrunch fails to respond

    It looks as though you have multiple tests that are identifying themselves to NCrunch using the same name. What are the characteristics of the tests that seem to cause this? Are they [TestCase] tests or parameterized fixtures? Does the processing queue show NCrunch trying to run the same test mult…

  14. Coverage statistics and navigation tools

    No, sorry - NCrunch is a closed source product.

  15. Coverage statistics and navigation tools

    Thanks! This was also recently suggested by someone else, and it's a good idea. I have it in the plan :)

  16. InvalidProjectFileException when running

    Hi, thanks for posting! Do you have any build customisations or build-integrated SDKs that make use of the GetDirectoryNameOfFileAbove function? It looks as though this is interfering with NCrunch's build analysis - we need to find a way to turn it off.

  17. Please support test category types in MS Test

    Hi Ed, thanks for posting! Categories are in the road map for all testing frameworks. Most of the work here is actually in the UI to be able to properly take advantage of them. Cheers, Remco

  18. NCrunch continually failing with "process cannot access the file"

    Thanks! I'll take a look at it and get back to you.

    Thanks - did you have any luck sending a bug report? This can help me to figure out why it's failing.

  20. NCrunch continually failing with "process cannot access the file"

    Ok - I think this might be an internal problem with the engine then ... it's possible that the engine incorrectly thinks that the workspace for your main project isn't being used. I thought that these issues were resolved in 1.35, but it may be that something to do with your solution is surfacing a…
