  1. Rider 2026.2 EAP support

    Hi, thanks for letting me know. It's my general policy not to post builds for the Rider EAPs because they are a very fast moving target, but if there's an opportunity to do so, I will.

  2. Is Visual Studio required on a grid node

    Hi, thanks for posting. Sadly, it's hard to provide more detail about this in the documentation, because it depends entirely on the toolsets being used. In theory, it IS now possible to run a grid node without VS installed, through the use of the Dotnet SDK. Install the version of .NET that…

  3. Error not picked up

    I've isolated the issue. It's exactly as you've described it. Xunit collapses the tests but not the results messages. NCrunch hasn't been handling the collapsed results correctly and passing subresults are wiping the result state. I've implemented a fix if you'd like to give it a try: [url=ht…

  4. Error not picked up

    Sorry for the delayed response on this. I'm taking a look at the problem and will get back to you soon.

  5. Error not picked up

    Hi, thanks for sharing this. A test that hides a failing result is definitely not ok. Can you share the declaration of your TestCase type? I think what's happening here is that the two tests are being internally identified as the same test, because the runner has no way to tell them apart (Test…

  6. MSTest v4 - DataRow - Collection Expressions

    Hi, thanks for sharing this. I also saw it come in through the bug reporter :) NCrunch needs some special handling to be able to work with these collection expressions. The latest version doesn't implement them yet. I've noted them down to see if I can plug them into the next release. Thanks …

  7. NCrunch tests window with white lines in edges Rider

    Hi Tim, Thanks for flagging this. I've been seeing it to, and it's kind of annoying. It's actually been happening for quite a while. Unfortunately, I have no way to fix it. The lines themselves are an artifact created by the wormhole system inside Rider that we piggyback off. NCrunch is co…

  8. NUnit tests marked with Platform attribute are treated as inconclusive when conditions not met

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. At first glance, this looks like a simple open and shut case. The tests in question are marked to run on a different platform from the one being used, so they should just be ignored and not discovered. It starts to get more complicated when getting under the…

  9. Support Interface‑Based Exclusive Resource Declarations

    Thanks! I'll look into it.

  10. Two bars of test coverage after moving file

    Hi, thanks for flagging this. I have some theories about what could be causing it. I'll look into it.

  11. nCrunch.Common.UserException: Errors occurred while trying to load the project file

    Hi Ryan, Thanks for sharing this. The first thing I'd like to check here is whether this is related to a Build Sdk mismatch. There are situations that can cause this (notably around installation of preview tooling). Could you try adjusting the 'Build Sdk' NCrunch configuration setting to make …

  12. Improving grid node IL reporting.

    I'm glad that's helped you make some progress in this. The only thing I could suggest as a next step would be to use an IL tool of some kind to produce a full dump of the assemblies produced on each of your machines, then run these through a diff tool. This might also give some clarity as to wheth…

  13. Improving grid node IL reporting.

    Hi, thanks for posting. Yes, I hate this error. I hate that it exists. I hate that it NEEDS to exist ... And I accept that it's inadequate. In recent years, it seems that even the smallest update to the platform causes differences in the IL. I find this a bit concerning, since you wouldn…

  14. MCP server

    Yes, in concept this isn't too complicated. NCrunch just needs to expose an MCP server containing the APIs that allow the agent to pull data directly from the engine, and give it basic instructions (i.e. run specific tests, etc). Where I expect it will be more complicated is in finding sensible …

  15. Rider freezes UI very often when combined with NCrunch

    Does disabling the engine get rid of the freezes after they start happening? Is there any correlation between the freezes and number of editor windows you have open? Another question: Does recovery from the freeze happen on its own? Or do you absolutely need to click on another window? I'm w…

  16. Support for Rider 2026.1

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions to narrow this down. - When you talk about the green dot in the bottom right corner, do you mean the 'Corner spinner' that shows the engine working? (Which can be a range of colours, depending on the state of th…

  17. MSTest 4.0.0

    [quote=Axima;18766]Before we upgrade, can anyone confirm if MSTest v4 support is included in the latest public release? (v5.21)[/quote] Yes, it's in there. It went out with 5.19, back in October.

  18. Rider extension fails to recognize referenced projects with åäö

    Yes, sorry, Rider 2026.1 is mere hours away from hitting RTM, so every NCrunch build is targeting it at the moment. You can either wait a day or two for them to release it fully or grab the EAP from their website.

  20. Rider extension fails to recognize referenced projects with åäö

    [quote=Peter Osterdahl;18756]No, it goes back and forth. Two projects will fail to build, I’ll change something in the global build conf, like build ask, then they build. Then I’ll do something git related, like a rebase or switching branches, then they’ll fail again, maybe but not always. [/q…
