NCrunch build failure after adding Microsoft.Net.Compilers package.

Hi,

I've added Microsoft.Net.Compilers nuget package to a project so that it will build on our Build agents, however now NCrunch can't build the project giving the following error message:

..\..\..\packages\Microsoft.Net.Compilers.1.0.0\tools\Microsoft.CSharp.Core.targets (67, 5): The specified task executable "csc.exe" could not be run. Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.



I've tried with the Allow Code Analysis option turned off and on,but this makes no difference. I suspect the Compilers package is interfering with Ncrunch's mechanism for building.

Any suggestions on how to solve this? I'd rather not remove the Compilers package if we can avoid it.

Thanks

Andy

Hi Andy,

This is most likely caused by an implicit dependency on the compiler resources inside the NuGet package - http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/considerations-and-constraints_implicit-file-dependencies.

Including the Microsoft.Net.Compilers.1.0.0 directory using NCrunch's 'Additional files to include' should resolve the problem.

Hi Remco,

Thanks, I managed to get it to work. I had to add the package to the additional folders at the Solution level. Adding only at the project level didn't work.

Thanks for your help.

Had the same problem, moving from directory level "Additional folder" to solution level has fixed it.
