  1. GridNode Net 6 - target "Build" does not exist

    Sorry for the awful experience here. If it feels any better, I understand your pain ... We deal with a multitude of different build systems and platform environments here and the maze of unhelpful error messages doesn't help things. Previously, installing the MSBuild Tools was usually enough for…

  2. GridNode Net 6 - target "Build" does not exist

    Unfortunately, the MSBuild.exe component on its own isn't usually enough, as we need the entire build system full of platform libraries that go with it. MS do have a distribution of MSBuild Tools which is essentially a headless version of VS. I believe it's a free download and is actually repres…

  3. GridNode Net 6 - target "Build" does not exist

    [quote=9swampy;16120]Builds fine on the GridNode using the command lines "dotnet restore && dotnet msbuild" from a local CMD prompt.[/quote] Does the grid server have MSBuild Tools or Visual Studio installed? Unfortunately NCrunch is not integrated with dotnet build and must have MSBuild present…

  4. GridNode Net 6 - target "Build" does not exist

    Hi, thanks for sharing this. Can you confirm whether the grid node is able to build this project without NCrunch involved? (i.e. just using MSBuild tools or VS on the node).

  5. Stuck at "ncrunch engine is initialising"

    A workaround for this problem has been implemented in NCrunch v4.12, which is [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/download]now available for download[/url].

  6. Stuck at "ncrunch engine is initialising"

    [quote=UppSol;16110] Now that 17.2 RTM(https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/visual-studio-2022-17-2-is-now-available/) has been released, will NCrunch support the new/preview feature that caused trouble in the preview version? I haven't got time to check if it works or not. [/quote] Yes…

  7. Json FileNotFoundException preventing build

    Thanks for this. Could you submit a bug report from NCrunch straight after the error appears? I'd like to take a look at the log to see if it yields any clues about why this is happening. Could you also try the [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_project-configuration_preload-a…

  8. Json FileNotFoundException preventing build

    Thanks for these extra details. I can't see the top of the stack trace here, but my guess is that this is happening during test discovery, rather than build time. There is code running inside an attribute constructor that is causing massive complicated layers of other code to run. Can you try…

  9. Json FileNotFoundException preventing build

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Can you share any more information about where you receive this error? Does this appear on one of your projects? Is there any more to the stack trace?

  10. Trying to Run All Tests; Icons are Changed

    Hi, thanks for sharing this. I strongly suspect that the code being run by these tests is modifying something in your foreground solution. Most probably there is an absolute file path somewhere. The consequence of this is that running the test causes the codebase (or a related resource) to chan…

  11. Coverage Markers not working

    Something else worth checking is your engine mode. The 'Run pinned tests automatically' mode can have a coverage filter set up (the 'Show coverage for tests' setting).

  12. Coverage Markers not working

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Have you checked the [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/troubleshooting_missing-code-coverage]troubleshooting page for this problem[/url]? There are a range of configuration issues that can cause this. Note that when you run a test with a debugger at…

  13. InvalidOperationException with init properties (.net6)

    [quote=spectresystems;16085]I'm also experiencing this but cannot recreate it. I'm running NCrunch 4.11.0.2 in VS2022 (17.1.5) using .NET SDK 6.0.104. Using .NET SDK 6.0.202 makes no difference.[/quote] Thanks for sharing this. Could you confirm if you're using the System.Runtime.CompilerSer…

  14. Code coverage not appearing (newbie question)

    [quote=CoolBreeze;16079] I was seeing code coverage markers in one of my VB code files. Then I added ncrunch: no coverage start, no coverage end to some but not all methods. Then NCrunch didn't show any markers for the entire file. I closed and reopened the solution. The markers reappeared. [/…

  15. asp.net rest api .net 6, code coverage for Program.cs?

    Hi, thanks for posting. When the [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_project-configuration_analyse-line-execution-times]analyse line execution times[/url] setting is enabled (which is on by default), NCrunch marks a line as covered [i]after[/i] it is executed. This means that if…

  16. Unused engine hosts?

    Hi, thanks for posting. Like with TestHost and BuildHost, we have a version of EngineHost for every major version of .NET Framework. Because we need to support older versions of VS, the NCrunch engine is locked to .NET 4.0 (Actually, .NET 3.5 for most places). As such, we can run in a pretty wi…

  17. Tests permanently show as "running (first time run)"

    [quote=NeilMacMullen;16068]Thanks. Yes I think the most serious "issue" here is really just that the main Ncrunch icon color made it appear that all the tests were still running and passing; hence it was a couple of months before I noticed the problem (I usually filter to only failed tests in the t…

  18. Tests permanently show as "running (first time run)"

    [quote=NeilMacMullen;16066]Looks like switching UseCpuArchitecture to x86 (from x64) clearing caches and and reloading ncrunch resolves the issue. :-)[/quote] Excellent :) We have a fix pending for the processing queue text pane sync issue. It doesn't update correctly when the task has no out…

  19. Tests permanently show as "running (first time run)"

    Thanks for these extra details. I wonder if this is a UI refresh issue. Do the tests clear from the Tests Window if you turn one of the filter options on and off? Are you able to run the tests with a debugger attached? Note that although the tests may work fine with a different runner, this …

  20. Tests permanently show as "running (first time run)"

    Hi, thanks for sharing this. Can I safely assume that the tests stay this way forever (i.e. they never time out, even if left for 15+ minutes)? Can you check the processing queue to see if the tasks involved have kicked up any errors? One possibility I can think of is if the unmanaged code …
