Hi Jason,

Thanks for sharing this issue.

Now that you've included the package in the NCrunch workspace, the next thing I would try is placing NCrunch in compatibility mode - http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/troubleshooting_compatibility-mode.

This can be useful for narrowing down whether a configuration option can solve this problem for you.

If the Bond.CSharp build steps aren't required in preparing the project for NCrunch's test environment, you may also be able to turn them off. Somewhere inside the project file you'll find an import tag pointing towards the Bond.CSharp targets - if you apply an MSBuild condition to this, you can suppress the build steps and NCrunch will work without them. For more information on this see http://www.ncrunch.net/documentation/troubleshooting_ncrunch-specific-overrides.

I recommend taking a look at the workspace NCrunch has built for this project, and trying to get the build to work yourself using a command-line call to MSBuild, using the files in this workspace.

You can freely modify the files in the workspace to troubleshoot as necessary. Resetting the NCrunch engine will delete and restore them.

I recommend looking closely at the project file and the included bond imports to try and understand why this framework doesn't like the project to be moved to a different area of your disk.

I've just had a try with recreating your situation using the CSharp.Bond framework. Unfortunately this hasn't proved easy to do with my limited knowledge of this framework as it seems rather 'welded together' with the way it handles paths inside the build environment - so I have no idea whether the problems I'm facing are the same as the one you're being hit with. Even making this framework work using its own in-built examples outside of NCrunch seems to be challenging in its own way.

The easiest option may be to simply disable the bond build steps using an NCrunch-specific override, as suggested earlier. You can then rely on the code generation to happen on a manual build and simply let NCrunch work with the generated code.
