  1. Does NCrunch support background compiling while coding?

    [quote=THenrich;13849] I understand the tool is for testing but if it's also compiling continuously, it's a time saver for me. However, I noticed that it compiles NCrunch's versions of the assemblies (in c:\Users\...) instead of the actual assemblies. Can it also compile the solution's assemblies?…

  2. Does NCrunch support background compiling while coding?

    [quote=THenrich;13845] Yes I was asking if it can compile for Visual Studio. I don't have any tests. [/quote] Correct. Background compilation and reporting of the compile results is an important piece of NCrunch's infrastructure. Without tests in your solution, you will be missing out on ar…

  3. Need to manually open/close Grid Node configuration on remote server almost daily

    See here for details on how to open a port in [url=https://www.windowscentral.com/how-open-port-windows-firewall]Windows Firewall[/url]. Note that we have no firm way of knowing that it's windows firewall blocking the connection. It could also be other firewall software you have installed on the…

  4. Does NCrunch support background compiling while coding?

    NCrunch itself performs background compiling so that it can run your tests. You'll see tasks for this appear in the Processing Queue while you work. Or are you asking about whether NCrunch is able to deal with a different tool (i.e. VS) running background compilation while it works?

  5. Bad Image Format Exception Thrown When Target CPU Settings Don't Match

    Hi, thanks for posting. This is by design. See here for [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/troubleshooting_x86-x64-platform-issues]more information about these sorts of problems[/url]. It's always possible to resolve these problems using a corrected solution structure or configuration.

  6. ASP.NET Core 2.1 integration tests

    It's impossible for me to confirm this 100% without being able to reproduce and analyse the issue, but I'd say there is a better than even chance that upgrading to .NET 3.0 will resolve the issue. Certainly if it doesn't, I will do my best to help resolve it :)

  7. Description of NCrunch as "Free Download" instead of "Trial"

    Hi, thanks for your suggestion. The central problem here is that the download itself is free and comes with 30 days of free usage, and can then work with a purchased license key. To convey this accurately in a single button in a way that isn't open to interpretation is impossible. For example…

  8. Console tool: Abort on build failure?

    Under the current architecture, the only way I could think of force this kind of behaviour would be to introduce a project dependency from each of your test projects into the unconnected projects that are likely to fail. If the platforms are different, you might be able to work around this by using…

  9. ASP.NET Core 2.1 integration tests

    Provided you're using .NET Core 2.2 or above, then there shouldn't be a known issue with these tests. However, the architecture of this library and the manner of its development has made it hard for us to integrate with it, so it wouldn't surprise me if there is an unconsidered edge case or a versi…

  10. Need to manually open/close Grid Node configuration on remote server almost daily

    Hi Alberto, My bet would be that there is a firewall blocking the connection to the ncrunch.gridnode.console.exe process. Since this process isn't running as a background service application, it's likely to be running under a different user profile and using a different .EXE. Check your windows…

  11. Intermittent errors on single grid node

    [quote=MatthewSteeples;13818]Looks like we had someone missing the ".NET Core Cross Platform Development" pieces in VS[/quote] I wish I could think of a better way of getting NCrunch to report that. Not a fun thing to track down.

  12. ASP.NET Core 2.1 integration tests

    Hi, thanks for sharing this problem. This looks like a dependency collocation issue. Could you try turning on the 'Copy referenced assemblies to workspace' NCrunch project-level configuration setting for all the projects involved? Does this solve the issue?

  13. Error when submitting via the website's contact form

    Scratch that, I've figured it out. The form will fail if you aren't logged into the system. Thanks for your help on this.

  14. Error when submitting via the website's contact form

    Yes, it looks like it worked correctly (I received the message). I've just done a code review of both contact forms, and judging by the error you received, it actually came from this form: https://blog.ncrunch.net/contact.aspx The above form is quite old and I'm less familiar with its internal…

  15. Error when submitting via the website's contact form

    Thanks for these details. Can you confirm whether the error is still happening for you and whether it seems to be content specific? I cannot seem to find a way to recreate this problem.

  16. Exception using Grid Nodes (after Update to 3.29.0.7)

    This message describes a situation where the grid node and the grid client aren't running exactly the same version of NCrunch... At the moment I can't think of any other way this error could appear. Could you confirm 100% whether there are any machines on your grid that might be running an older …

  17. Intermittent errors on single grid node

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. Can you check whether you have precisely the same versions of .NET Core installed on this grid node as you do on your client machines? And whether there is any mismatch in versions being used between your client machines? This looks like there may be a package…

  18. OutOfMemoryException on Compile

    Hi, thanks for sharing this issue. NCrunch's instrumentation can be quite memory intensive (we're rebuilding this at the moment). By default, your build system will run in a 32-bit memory space. [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/reference_project-configuration_build-process-cpu-archi…

  20. Is page "Tools/Frameworks Supported By NCrunch" up-to-date?

    [quote=mapfel;13793]The compatibility page [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/support/frameworks]Tools/Frameworks Supported By NCrunch[/url] doesn't state Visual Studio 2019. I guess it is by mistake and support is given?[/quote] Yes!!! Sorry, we definitely support VS2019. Thanks for bringing this to…
