VS2011 metro project support

Hello,

I saw that NCrunch has support for VS2011 but I am having some build issues. The message I'm getting is the following:

NCrunch: If you are experiencing problems in getting this project to build, have a look at https://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/troubleshooting_project-build-issues
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\AppxPackage\Microsoft.AppXPackage.Targets (215): Task 'ValidateAppxManifestItems' failed. Could not find file 'C:\Users\Youp\AppData\Local\NCrunch\2544\5\Afstudeer.MetroSrumboard\Package.appxmanifest'.

I have searched the wiki page and this forum but was not able to solve the issue. Any tips?

Youp

Hi, thanks for posting!

It looks like the project type you're using is making use of a certain type of file that NCrunch doesn't yet auto detect to copy into its workspace. You can work around this problem by using the 'Additional files to include' configuration setting to tell NCrunch about the files it isn't detecting.

Would you be able to copy/paste the XML from your .proj file that declares the .appxmanifest file? I'd like to note down the tag being used for this so that I can fix NCrunch's autoconfiguration.


Cheers,

Remco

Is this what you wanted?

That's perfect, thanks very much! Did the 'additional files to include' workaround do the trick for you?

For anyone interested, a fix for this issue has been released recently with v1.39b of NCrunch.
