  1. Is Visual Studio required on a grid node

    Thanks for the insight. Looking at the Build Sdk setting, I think it's best we reinstall VS and continue to run that way.

  2. Is Visual Studio required on a grid node

    We have rebuilt our grid node server, and I was trying to see if it could function as a grid node without Visual Studio installed. The relevant SDK's and runtimes are installed.

  3. MSTest 4.0.0

    Before we upgrade, can anyone confirm if MSTest v4 support is included in the latest public release? (v5.21)

  4. MSTest 4.0.0

    Ok thanks, will wait for NCrunch support.

  5. MSTest 4.0.0

    Are there any known issues with NCrunch and MSTest 4.0.0? I have tried to update to MSTest 4.0.0 in a couple of projects, but after I do NCrunch doesn't find any tests to run. Reverting back to MSTest 3.11.0 allows test to be found and run again.

  6. Core assignment backwards?

    Ok thanks for the advice, I will give that a go.

  7. Core assignment backwards?

    Hi Remco, Using those steps, this time the build was fast and used all cores in both examples.

  8. Core assignment backwards?

    I am seeing some unexpected behaviour when assigning all but 1 core to either VS, or NCrunch. It seems like the values are applied backwards. In this case the logical core 15 is an E-Core, which is non hyperthreaded. Example 1: Assigning 15 cores to NCrunch, 1 core to VS, and rebuilding solut…

  9. Grid Only Mode - CPU Core Assignment

    I have just started working with distributed processing. I would like to run in "Grid Only Mode", freeing up all logical CPU cores for Visual Studio. I followed the instructions in the Grid Only Mode section of the [url=https://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/guides_distributed-processing]Distribu…

  10. Core assignment with P-Cores / E-Cores

    Are there any recommendations for assigning cores between VS and NCrunch when using an Intel CPU with Performance (P) and Efficiency (E) cores? An i5 12600K has 16 logical cores, assigned as follows: 0: P0-0 1: P0-1 2: P1-0 3: P1-1 4: P2-0 5: P2-1 6: P3-0 7: P3-1 8: P4-0 9: …

  11. Packages often fail to uninstall unless NCrunch is disabled

    No worries, I will continue to do so. Thanks.

  12. Packages often fail to uninstall unless NCrunch is disabled

    Is it possible for NCrunch to detect when a NuGet operation has started and de-activate itself, then re-activate when finished?

  13. Packages often fail to uninstall unless NCrunch is disabled

    Possibly related to [url=https://forum.ncrunch.net/yaf_postst2765_NCrunch-locks-DLLs.aspx] NCrunch locks DLLs [/url] I often (almost always but not 100% of the time) find that if NCrunch is not de-activated when updating NuGet packages, even if it is completely idle, it will result in some packag…

  14. Test project build fails on multi targeted project with different version of the same package

    That works, thanks.

  15. Test project build fails on multi targeted project with different version of the same package

    Hi Remco, I created a small sample solution, however each time I try to submit the contact form I get a 404 error. I have uploaded the solution for a 1 time download from here: https://send.firefox.com/download/87f1bc05a490da7f/#MXZWVDHCwy9kYcMPD48vSQ Thanks,

  16. Test project build fails on multi targeted project with different version of the same package

    I have a class library that multi targets .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Standard 2.1, and .NET Framework 4.7.2. I also have a unit test library which multi targets .NET Core 2.2, .NET Core 3.0 and .NET Framework 4.7.2. The class libary uses Entity Framework packages, specifically: .NET Standard 2.0: …

  17. Issues building project, possibly related to SRP

    So I just had this problem again after upgrading to 2019. Came to the forums to search for an answer and came across my own post! I modified the SRP above to replace VS2017 with a * wildcard and everything is working now.

  18. Issues building project, possibly related to SRP

    Ok thanks. I have implemented the above rule, and NCrunch looks to be working correctly.

  19. Issues building project, possibly related to SRP

    On examination of the event log I found multiple events like the following: [code=plain]Access to C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\NCrunch\BuildSystem\840\VS2017\nCrunch.BuildHost462.x86.exe has been restricted by your Administrator by the default software restriction policy level.

  20. Issues building project, possibly related to SRP

    I have just recently upgraded to VS 2017 from VS 2013. This involved moving up a patch level with NCrunch and installing via the 2017 installer. On VS 2013 everything was working ok, but on VS 2017 I am finding that most projects fail to load, with the following exception: [code=csharp]System…
