Pin Exceptions window, show markers for TestCase

Hi,

Would be great if the Exceptions window could be pinned, this would help quickly fix broken tests. Also markers for TestCase would be cool.

Hi Yang -

Thanks for the suggestions!

Can you share a bit more detail around why you feel pinning the stack trace window would help you? The original intention of this popup was to basically be a transient way to navigate up and down the stack. Are you using it to examine the exception trace while you work?

I can understand the value and reasoning behind having coverage markers next to the individual test cases, but unfortunately the abstractions NCrunch currently relies on make this technically impossible. I don't think we'll be seeing a way to implement this any time soon.


Cheers,

Remco

Yes. This would be very useful when I need to navigate the exception trace to fix tests, especially when fixing integration/acceptance tests, I usually need to repeatedly navigate back and forth the exception trace to fix multiple errors.

Currently when I need to navigate to another point of the exception trace, I have to first go back to the broken test, quite inefficient. So I workaround this by starting a test in debug mode (very slow), so that I can use the Call Stack window. But because currently NCrunch doesn't support edit Edit & Continue, so I have to use Resharper's debug feature, this makes it even slower because each time I invoke the debug mode, Resharper has to recompile the project.

Understood.

Thanks Yang - I'll have a bit of a think about ways this can be implemented, and will see what I can come up with.
