Hi Remco,
we purchased a couple of licenses for out project and are happy so far with the 2.x betas, too.
We also use NCrunch with SpecFlow and it works great with MSTest, NUnit, and xUnit test runners - it is just great to see the coverage markers in gherkin plain text files.
We also want to use SpecRun as a runner but unfortunately it does not work at the moment.
NCrunch cannot build as it does not find the correct targets file:
..\packages\SpecFlow.1.9.0\tools\TechTalk.SpecFlow.targets (47)#0: Unable to find plugin in the plugin search path: SpecRun. Please check
http://go.specflow.org/doc-plugins for details.
That very web page btw. does not help, but I can see that the relative paths for the SpecRun plugin are not found. I do not know whether some work on the SpecRun side might be needed.
The configuration is as follows (works in VS 2013 Test Runner):
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="specFlow" type="TechTalk.SpecFlow.Configuration.ConfigurationSectionHandler, TechTalk.SpecFlow" />
</configSections>
<specFlow>
<unitTestProvider name="SpecRun" />
<plugins>
<add name="SpecRun" />
</plugins>
</specFlow>
</configuration>
If you take out the plugins tag and change the unitTestProvider to either "NUnit", "MsTest" or "xUnit" and install the NuGet packages for the appropriate framework then NCrunch will work like expected.
There is also a setting "SpecRun+MsTest" and "SpecRun+NUnit" that gives you access to both runners, but the build still fails due to the SpecRun plug-in.
You should perhaps consider contacting Gaspar of TechTalk is you need something changed in either SpecFlow or SpecRun. Does not seem like a big deal.
If you need a sample solution you can contact me so I can send it to you.
Best
Dan
