Hello - I'm trialing NCrunch but haven't been able to get any tests to actually run. They all show as 'Pending, Prioritized, Impacted' on the NCrunch Tests tab, and with a question mark on the NCrunch Processing Queue. The root node "Run 4 tests" show as Status=Pending, Server=(local), Expected Processing Time = 00:00:04, but Actual Processing Time=00:00:00.
Could you please assist in identifying troubleshooting steps? There don't appear to be an relevant warning/error messages for this assembly.
Tests are xunit 2.0.

Hi, thanks for sharing this issue and taking the time to give NCrunch a try.
There are some configuration settings that can do this. Check the following:
- In the Distributed Processing Window, make sure the local processor is enabled
- Make sure the 'Max number of processing threads' is set to a positive number (at least 1)
- Make sure the 'Tests to execute on this machine' setting is set to 'True'
Also check to make sure that all your projects are building successfully under NCrunch. Turn on the green tick in the Tests Window and make sure all projects are visible there with a tick next to them. Usually the engine makes this quite clear, but if one of the projects isn't building right, the tests won't be able to run.
