File locking prevents a test from running

I am getting this error: The process cannot access the file '<Path>' because it is being used by another process. I assume that this is because of the parallel nature of NCrunch? How do I run unit tests that all try to load up a a single test file?

Hi, thanks for posting.

This documentation page describes the parallel execution behaviour in detail, along with ways in which you can control it.

If you have control of the read operation I suggest you change it so that it does not exclusively lock the file. That way other threads/processes are free to read it in parallel.

I was able to get it working. I actually was not closing the file as well after reading it and once I fixed this, the tests work well.
