  1. Analyse Assembly fails on NCrunch grid nodes but I can't see why

    Hi Remco, I updated my local machine to .NET v4.5.3 to be able to run the NCrunch test runners with latest v2.11.0.23. Now I'm facing an issue that my grid nodes have some kind of problem when analysing the asemblies. In the Processing Queue I see that those "Analyse Assembly" entries are marked…

  2. NCrunch 2.11 requires .NET framework 4.5.3

    Hi Remco, would be really good to have a set of 4.5.2 task runners. I cannot upgrade to 4.5.3 because some 3rd party assemblies/tools have (build) issues with that. So I need to stick to .NET v4.5.2. But that means that I cannot use the NCrunch grid testing functionality anymore (without downgrad…

  3. "Break into first failing test" does not work if line already has breakpoint

    Hi Remco, seems that there is an issue with lines that have already breakpoints. I'm using latest NCrunch v2.11.0.23 and VS 2013 Update 4. If I manually set a breakpoint in a line where a test fails (by clicking on the left border area of the window where the breakpoint gets shown) and then…

  4. Inconclusive result in NUnit TestCaseSource

    Hi Remco, today I experienced some related issue when using NUnit's ValueSource attribute. I wrote you a report (but I'm not sure whether it got through as it stated that it could not be submitted). The issue I faced was using some dynamic data (I was using DateTime.Now) as a value source. So…

  5. Exceptions on grid nodes seem to let NCrunch hang

    Hi Remco, seems that the exceptions are not directly related to having only part of the solution loaded. Today, I had the complete solution loaded and was refactoring a test class (I split it into a base class and 2 subclasses, then I fixed a compilation error (inconsistent accessiblity) and m…

  6. Exceptions on grid nodes seem to let NCrunch hang

    Hi Remco, the Funnel addin is a simple addin which allows you to specify which projects you want to get loaded in a solution. So e.g. you have a solution with 50 projects but you only want to work with let's say 20, you can define a filter in Funnel to only load those 20 projects. You don't need …

  7. Exceptions on grid nodes seem to let NCrunch hang

    Hi Remco, restarting the grid node servers did not help (I tried it multiple times). Also disconnecting and reconnecting did not seem to help. But after I restarted my VS, the issue was gone. Unfortunately, I don't know yet how to reproduce. I had the solution opened on a branch, closed it an…

  8. Exceptions on grid nodes seem to let NCrunch hang

    Hi Remco, I'm currently getting a number of NullReferenceExceptions thrown on my grid nodes and the corner spinning wheel reports about 11.459 tests being queued (whereas the test window states that it monitors about 5897 tests). In addition it seems that nothing is going on anymore, the spinnin…

  9. Tests on grid nodes should have higher default priority

    Hi Remco, I've sent you the wanted logs via the contacts form. Hopefully it came through. If not, please let me know. In that case some additional information: After I got the logs I deactivated the logging on the grid nodes and the NCrunch service on the grid nodes was restarted. On my local…

  10. Tests on grid nodes should have higher default priority

    Hi Remco, the specific project had an issue with a license check some time ago so I had set up some capabilitites to not run the project in the grid. Later on I found a workaround posted here in the forum which stated I could exclude the .licx file by adding a condition to the .csproj file. Afte…

  11. Tests on grid nodes should have higher default priority

    Hi Remco, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a consistent set of steps so far. I installed the new v2.10 early build and it seemed to go well. I could trigger the tests and they were run concurrently each time. I also closed and re-opened the solution and the tests were run concurrently. But…

  12. Tests on grid nodes should have higher default priority

    Hi Remco, ok. :) About the crash: I will try to attach a debugger in case it happens again. About the other issue (the strange thing is that most times it is working as expected): - The normal end-to-end time for a full cycle (in case there is no build needed) depends a little bit on the …

  13. Tests on grid nodes should have higher default priority

    Hi Remco, It seems that the VS performance is better with having that Progress bar closed. However, my initial problem that NCrunch doesn't contact the grid nodes to run the tests is still there. Today, when I opened the solution and let NCrunch re-run all the tests (via "Run all tests" on tes…

  14. Tests on grid nodes should have higher default priority

    Hi Remco, I will try to work with the Progress bar closed for a while and see whether it makes some difference. I will let you know the results. Best regards, Ralf

  15. Tests on grid nodes should have higher default priority

    Hi Remco, The end-to-end run time for all 7000 tests is about 4 minutes (done in ReSharper's unit tester with tests running on a single thread). Yes, when running properly, my engine has an overall capacity of 32-36 threads. I've also seen often that the engine hits this full capacity. The th…

  16. Tests on grid nodes should have higher default priority

    Hello Remco, When I let the tests (about 7000) run in NCrunch (via "Run all tests" on test window), NCrunch tries to run all the tests locally before it actually starts to build them in the grid. This is at least what I think when I take a look into the processing queue where the remote builds…

  17. Exporting test results to CSV that is in use seems to crash VS 2013

    Hi Remco, I'm using NCrunch v2.9.0.8. When I try to export the tests results from the Tests window into a CSV that is currently opened by Excel 2013, Visual Studio 2013 crashs reliably. Best regards, Ralf Koban

  18. NCrunch cannot compile projects with spaces in its name

    Hi Remco, (I've submitted a bug report on it but I got a message stating that this failed, so I post it here as well.) I created a helper assembly that contains some spaces in its name ("MiKoSolutions.Aspects TestHelpers"). Now, when NCrunch 2.9.0.3 tries to compile, it does not succeed. A…

  19. Crunch fails to detect code change and reports failed test after fixing

    Hi Remco, thanks, the new version solves my problem. Great tool. BR, Ralf

  20. Crunch fails to detect code change and reports failed test after fixing

    Hi Remco, I've installed NCrunch v2.9.0.1 (but it also happened in v 2.8.0.35). My tests check for some strings and fail in case the string is not as expected. When I now my code by just exchanging a single character in a string, NCrunch runs the tests and all tests succeed. But actually th…
