Documentation for Taskbar Icons

Started by CalvinDale on 8,172 views

I have searched extensively on Google for documentation of NCrunch's VS taskbar icons. No doubt such documenation exists; but I haven't been able to locate it. I even uploaded a couple of NCrunch icon images to Google's Image Search...to no avail.

Where can I find such documentation? Thanks!
Hi, thanks for posting!

When you say taskbar icons, are you referring to the button options on the Tests Window?

If so, these are not documented as the tooltips for them should be fairly self explanatory. If you have a question about any specific option, please feel free to ask and I will help you here.

Edit: Actually, they ARE documented ... you'll find this information here - http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/concepts_tests-window[http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/concepts_tests-window.

Thanks, No I was referring to the icons in the lower right of Visual Studio such as the green-circled N.
Ahh. No - this is not documented anywhere, but I can give a short explanation:

The spinners represent background worker threads. One spinner is one thread, so if you see 4 of these spinning, that means you have 4 build/test tasks running in the background.

The colours are all configurable in the global settings, but the defaults are:

Blue - Initialising
Green - All tests are passing
Red - Test failure (shown number provides number of failing tests)
Orange - Build failure (shown number provides number of projects that are failing to build)
