  1. Test context menu is slow to show.

    I too have noticed this issue in recent NCrunch builds. We're running VS 2017, and the context menu takes often maybe 2 full seconds to appear. Glad to hear it might get a touch up.

  2. Reproducible Out of Memory Exception

    Thanks, Remco! Changing CPU architecture in the test project fixed it. I had misunderstood the issue to be more central within NCrunch. Could you please expand on what you meant by "Try adjusting the 'Test process memory limit' for the test project to something sensible."? We are in the midst o…

  3. Reproducible Out of Memory Exception

    I've got a test project with 1300+ unit tests in it. Of these, 421 normally get sent to the same node to run as a single task. That 421 are all in the same test file class, which has about a dozen methods each with a half dozen test cases. I was noticing that this test task keeps getting hung. …

  4. Grid Server keeps disconnecting

    [quote=Remco;10920]Do you receive the same result when trying to connect to your local machine running the grid node using ncrunch.gridnode.console.exe? This build doesn't have much changed over v3.10. Mostly it's just a null check to avoid the NRE. There must be another variable here somewhere.[…

  5. Grid Server keeps disconnecting

    I am trying out the new build. I updated my VS to use it and confirm the new version in the About box. I update a few nodes to use it, and confirm their installed version in add/remove programs. But now my VS gets a connection failure (target machine actively refused) when hitting the upgraded nod…

  6. Grid Server keeps disconnecting

    Thanks Remco for the continued top notch support. I much appreciate your prompt replies and I regret sending so many questions your way. [quote=Remco;10894]The problems you've described I think are quite different in nature to Matthew's. The exception you've provided looks to be thrown in the se…

  7. Grid Server keeps disconnecting

    I'm seeing what might be a similar issue. In the Distributed Processing window I'll see exclamations appear next to node names, and when I got look on the error tab I'll see "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" as the logged error there. If I click it I see [code=csharp]System.…

  8. NUnit Testoutput does not contain Lines Written by TestContext.WriteLine()

    My QA team would like to move to NCrunch when the dev team does, but they write a lot of slow running BDD's. The initial feedback I'm getting is having to wait until execution completes before seeing any of the trace output would be a showstopper. They have tests that might hang early or might just …

    Great idea! Thanks.

  10. NUnit Testoutput does not contain Lines Written by TestContext.WriteLine()

    I believe in NUnit 3 we've been asked to switch to use NUnit.Framework.TestContext.Progress.WriteLine(message) to ensure messages remain associated with their test thread. As I recall Debug.WriteLine leads to problems under NUnit parallelization, because you'd get interleaved results. I realize NCru…

  11. Client priority for node servers

    Got it, thanks. I posted the idea: https://ncrunch.uservoice.com/forums/245203-feature-requests/suggestions/20307475-client-priority-setting-for-use-by-node-servers

  12. duplicate source code transmission to node servers

    We're looking into setting up an NCrunch node farm, and we're wondering about network traffic load. Most developers will be working on the same large code base. Only about 10% of that code will be mutating at any one time. Does NCrunch do anything clever to avoid transmitting the same versioned c…

  13. Client priority for node servers

    We're looking into setting up an NCrunch node farm. This would be used by developer machines but it would also be used by the build server. When the build server goes to run tests, we'd like to have those test tasks take execution priority over test tasks coming from dev machines. Is this possibl…

  14. In Test window, Server column for grouping rows doesn't correctly reflect child tests.

    Thanks for thoughtfully considering my concerns. I'll try the workarounds you suggested. I think my personal preference (and maybe this is greenfield thinking) would still be to separate the build statistics from the test results information, and not try to make it all fit in the same view. I…

  15. In Test window, Server column for grouping rows doesn't correctly reflect child tests.

    Not sure if my last, long reply went through, I think the forum software ate it, probably for the best. :) The short version is that I think the UI tree views would be more intuitive if columns on grouping rows always showed direct aggregation functions over the same column in the underlying chi…

  16. In Test window, Server column for grouping rows doesn't correctly reflect child tests.

    This is maybe both a feature request and a minor bug report. For the feature request aspect, I've created a user voice ticket. But for the bug aspect, I thought I would elevate it here. I use the Tests window with the Project grouping. I've got a couple node servers I'm playing with. In my cas…

  17. Detecting Impacted tests

    [quote=Remco;10457]Hi, thanks for posting. If you choose the 'Run impacted tests only, others manually' engine mode from the NCrunch->Select Engine Mode menu option, NCrunch will do exactly this :) You can also customise the engine modes if you have more specific needs, including the above one…

  18. Detecting Impacted tests

    If I make a code change, say just one line, it seems NCrunch runs (at least) all the tests in the assembly that contains the impacted tests. Yet NCrunch knows through its code coverage analysis just which tests are directly impacted by my changed lines of code. Is there a way to have NCrunch prior…

  19. Fixture is marked red X only due to ignored failing tests

    NCrunch Tests window shows green bar at top, and all included tests are green, but some test fixtures (using Project/Fixture/Test view) are marked with a red X. All of their tests in the tree view are green. It seems this is only due to ignored tests that would fail (but for known reasons, waiting…

  20. Suppressing Build Successful messages in Tests window for non-test projects

    I usually organize my Test window by project. I sometimes want to see the green tests in the Tests window to keep a consistent view as tests alter between red and green, and to remind myself of which subset of tests I'm currently monitoring. However I almost never want to see all the Build Success…
