  1. Pin all tests in class (or in current file)

    Thanks for the reply - the project I was working on when I wrote that had the NCrunch Tests window configured "flat" rather than hierarchical (I think I had been looking at execution times), so that option wasn't available, but I'll remember to use this in future. As a minor nit, several of the…

  2. Pin all tests in class (or in current file)

    I hope this is a feature suggestion and not an opportunity to by made to look a fool. I very frequently want to pin all the tests in a test fixture class - this is because I'm working on a particular class and want to see if there are regressions. I know I should be able to rely on impact detect…

  3. Easier "Ignore Completely"

    [Quote] supporting integration with 8 versions of Visual Studio. [/Quote] I cannot understand why you impose this burden on yourself. Why should people running a 10+ year old version of VS expect new features in a plug-in? Just let them download whatever the last version was that support…

  4. Easier "Ignore Completely"

    [Quote] The Windows XP VMs run VS2010 and use only two vCPUs. It's a full pass of a test solution using 4 different frameworks. The VM boots, installs NCrunch, then completes the whole cycle in less than 2 minutes... most of which is actually being spent waiting for the O/S to discover its network …

  5. Easier "Ignore Completely"

    [quote=Remco;18614] That's some impressive multi-tasking. [/quote] It isn't really, it simply means I have to work evenings and weekends to get any proper work done! I just happen to have worked on several very successful (in their niche) products, and they all need looking after. [quote=R…

  6. Easier "Ignore Completely"

    [quote=Remco;18600]How many solutions do you use NCrunch on? Are you hopping between many projects very often?[/quote] Lots, over time - 20, perhaps? I probably work on 6-8 regularly. I have three open in different instances of VS at the moment, 5 would probably be the most. [quote=Remco;…

  7. Easier "Ignore Completely"

    Pure feature request, love the product, etc... [i]Far and away[/i] the most common "configuration" action I perform in NCrunch is to ignore projects. This is because our solutions always seem to be acreting little utilities, etc, which we don't want NCrunch to spend a single cycle or a single …

  8. Exception thrown in Rider running version 5.14.0.5

    I came here to report these. This didn't start with the latest nCrunch - but it might have started with Rider 2025. Rider tells us to report this to you - the report to JB buttons are greyed-out.

  9. Could nCrunch ignore "Single File iSense" pseudo projects

    Hi Remco - sorry, 5.12.0.7 doesn't seem to have stopped these appearing. I am still not sure how permanently they are banished by an "ignore completely", either, though if I work this out I'll let you know.

  10. Could nCrunch ignore "Single File iSense" pseudo projects

    Thanks! I'll give it a try. Much appreciated. I have to warn you that you might also have reignited my desire to file a feature request around "Ignore Completely", which I use a lot and find very less convenient than I would like...

  11. Could nCrunch ignore "Single File iSense" pseudo projects

    Hi - this is a very minor mostly cosmetic request, and I know C++-related stuff is out of scope anyway, but I might as well ask... In some circumstance, not sure what, while working with Visual Studio and C++ projects, VS will somehow trick nCrunch into becoming interested in odd project files wi…

  12. NCrunch was unable to retrieve a meaningful result from this test due to an unexpected error

    Thanks for this - it makes sense. I have no idea if you might be able to borrow their technique, but somehow Resharper is actually able to cope with this - I have deliberately caused a ref-0 exception in some C++ code, and in NC I get the message we're discussing here, but in R# I get the followin…

  13. NCrunch was unable to retrieve a meaningful result from this test due to an unexpected error

    Because I often have unmanaged C/C++ (under development) at the bottom of my call-stack, I get to see quite a lot of these, and I am always a bit sad that the message is little more than, "There was an error." Is there any chance that your test-runner has any diagnostics at all when it crashes wh…

  14. Rider: NCrunch causing temp files to be made in project directory

    Thanks! There is clearly something about either the specific project or my Rider environment which is triggering NCrunch into doing this so frequently. I will investigate...

  15. Rider: NCrunch causing temp files to be made in project directory

    I'm using 5.7.0.3 but I've seen the same problem in earlier 5.x versions with Rider. I'm running dotnet watch on a ASP.NET project, and it's fine with NCrunch under VS2022. But with Rider, NCrunch keeps making temporary (transient) files within the project directory, perhaps by triggering a bui…

  16. Is NCrunch still being developed?

    [quote=Remco;16999] I'll try to [url=https://blog.ncrunch.net/post/Dotnet-build-support-Jetbrains-Rider-support-coming-soon!.aspx]do better than that[/url] :) [/quote] Wow! If I'd known my posting would have had such a galvanising effect I'd have written it a year ago. ;-) Well done.

  17. Is NCrunch still being developed?

    Up to you, of course, but you could perhaps grab half an hour away from the code to write a news posting? To me it's the combination of no new releases AND not even any news since last summer which makes people worry about abandonment. I'm not personally worried that nCrunch is abandoned, (though …

  18. Precise Meaning Of Isolated on a Test class

    Thanks - I've put the uservoice request in. I suppose in the spirit of uservoice I should now try and persuade a pile of people on Twitter to vote for my idea :-)

  19. Precise Meaning Of Isolated on a Test class

    I am running lots of tests which benefit from being run 'Isolated' (because they're testing embedded code which has lots of static state, and spinning-up a new process is the simplest way of avoiding interactions). Am I right in thinking that if I put [Isolated] on a test fixture class, all the…

  20. Enhancement to pinning / modes

    [quote=Remco;5236] The big thing that I'm starting to get scared of is just how many configuration options now exist within NCrunch. The idea was to try and keep it as a simple tool to use, but it's now starting to get quite daunting. Many of the options and switches in NCrunch aren't relevant fo…
