Build/Test Issues

Error: The NCrunch engine process was unexpectedly terminated

Hello,

I've been an NCrunch user for over 3.5 years and I love the product, however today I received the following error when enabling it on a project I am working on...

The NCrunch engine process was unexpectedly terminated. Re-enable the engine to continue


After some digging around I found that the issue was caused by a circular reference within my projects (I'd just done a merge from a colleagues branch and this created the reference). By removing the circular reference I was then able to re-build and NCrunch worked as expected.

So, just in case you receive an error such as the above I thought I would post this here to indicate what the cause of the error could be. I hope this helps someone!

Cheers,

Morgan
Hi Morgan,

Thanks for sharing this problem! I've never seen a circular reference cause an issue like this ... though I guess it does make sense, as such a situation could create a stack overflow, which would suddenly take down the engine process.

I'll see what I can do about improving the user experience here.
