Feedback for distributed tests

As promised, feedback after several weeks i've used NCrunch with 1 additional grid node.

Overall experience is positive, most of the time it works as expected, and splits unit-tests between my local box and a remote one.

There is one glitch, it is quite rare, but i get it sometimes. This is actually what triggered this post. The node stuck on phase 'Transfrring files to node'. Progress 1/38. I've turned off Sleep from my home laptop, so I am pretty sure it didnt went to sleep at some time.

disconnecting and connecting again fixed this immediatelly, so i am happy about NCrunch stability. But seems there is still one edge case where response seems to be lost. Hope this helps.


Edit - i've noticed this happening for first time, so it's not an issue. If it would recurr daily, that would def be a problem.

That's great, thanks for the feedback!

I've seen the 'Transferring files to node' get stuck before too. It's a very rare issue ... used to be much more frequent, so I think there are potentially several things that can cause this. Hopefully sometime soon it will occur in a way that allows me to pin it down. Network communications can be tricky to get right.
