  1. VS2022 (17.1.0) Preview 2.0 appears to break Ncrunch

    I rashly upgraded and I think this has broken Ncrunch. On starting up VS, I see a dialog saying... [quote]"The 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.TestCaseManagement.QualityToolsPackage' package did not load correctly. The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the install…

  2. Problems with Visual Studio 2022

    Thanks Remco. First impressions are encouraging - I haven't been able to reproduce the issue with 4.11.01 :thumb:

  3. Problems with Visual Studio 2022

    Super - that's great to hear. Thanks for such a quick fix :-)

  4. NCrunch is fantastic, thank you

    Looks like the VS2022 rollout is causing a few headaches so I just wanted to add my voice to this thread! Ncrunch is the one tool that I really can't imagine living without - fantastic concept and execution - keep up the good work! :-)

  5. Problems with Visual Studio 2022

    Thanks Remco, I saw this again this morning (after upgrading to 2022 pv7). I can't come up with an explanation of why the original explicit test was run (it's *possible* I accidentally right-clicked and chose "Run") but your explanation does at least satisfy item 2. As far as the "hanging" (#…

  6. Problems with Visual Studio 2022

    Ncrunch is exhibiting a number of odd behaviours for me since upgrading to VS2022 preview and Ncrunch 4.10... 1) A test marked as Explicit is being run. (I'm not editing this test file so it's not a matter of Ncrunch seeing the test before the Explicit atttribute is added) 2) I'm not convince…

  7. Visual studio preview 16.9.4 breakage

    Odd - I didn't get email notifications on this thread (but do agree that the issue seems to have gone away by itself). I _did_ get a "New post notification" today (11th Jul 2021 around 05:11 BST) - maybe someone kicked the forum server ? ;-)

  8. Enabling Ncrunch on any new project causes hang and crash

    Thanks Remco - that was a good tip. After some digging I realised the issue was this line where somehow I'd managed to insert a point instead of a comma between the 2&3. I notice the current configuration dialog prevents the user from getting this wrong but perhaps it was left older from a change …

  9. Enabling Ncrunch on any new project causes hang and crash

    I'm pretty sure this must be a local configuration issue. Somehow NCrunch has got itself into a state where clicking on the "Next" button in the "Parallel Test Execution" dialog (for "First Time Crunch") causes it to hang and then crash Visual Studio. This occurs for _any_ project/solution but…

  10. Visual studio preview 16.9.4 breakage

    Yes, that does fix it - thanks! Back up and crunching :-)

  11. Visual studio preview 16.9.4 breakage

    Just a heads-up that VS 16/9 preview 4 seems to be causing issues with NCrunch. Seeing a lot of errors like this... [quote]NCrunch: This project was built on server 'DESKTOP-Q4DLJTS' ..\..\..\..\..\..\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\5.0.200-preview.21079.7\Sdks\Microsoft.NET.Sdk.WindowsDesktop\targets…

  12. Nuget restore failing for grid server

    Thanks Remco, that's really useful information - I hadn't realised the nuget packages were copied across. It appears that what has happened is that VS has referenced the NUnit package from [b]C:\Microsoft\Xamarin\NuGet[/b] I'm not sure why VS has set up this alternate package source but her…

  14. Running tests that use nUnit's Explicit attribute

    >There is an option on the Tests Window toolbar that allows you to show/hide the different buttons, you should be able to use this if a button is missing. Yes - that's what I'm using. I think my memory is playing tricks - I had thought there was also a "show pinned tests" button but obviously n…

  15. Running tests that use nUnit's Explicit attribute

    Thanks Remco - that's great! For anyone else who was stumped by this, the trick is to add the "show unexecuted tests" button to the "Ncrunch tests" window toolbar by clicking on the down-arrow to the right of the Search box. I think there may be a minor bug here though - once you've done this the …

  16. Running tests that use nUnit's Explicit attribute

    Just wondering if this feature ever got completed ? ;-) I have a few tests that are marked as Explicit (at the class level) The ideal behaviour would be if Ncrunch had a "Show Explicit tests" button next to "show Ignored" so that I could list these tests in the Test Explorer and run them manually e…

  17. License expiry notification

    Not sure if this is a bug or a missing feature but I just noticed my license had expired a few days ago (happily renewed now!). Maybe adding a visual indication in the Ncrunch test window or using different shades of red/green in the "spinner" could help alert users to this? *Edit* - just add…

  18. Packages often fail to uninstall unless NCrunch is disabled

    I've also been bitten by this quite a few times and have learned to disable Ncrunch before the upgrade (though I normally only remember half way through!) I think an option for Nuget to automatically disable when detecting a nuget upgrade would be useful even if re-enabling isn't practical. Nuget …

  19. Link issue when solution contains C++ projects

    I have a multi-project solution which includes a C++ DLL that is called by some C# unit tests. I notice that Ncrunch tends to get confused if I edit the C++ source. This is quite easy to reproduce when editing header files that contain structure definitions. For example, adding a field to this…

    yikes - yes I see why now! ;-)
