Hi there,

I get the error shown below in one project when trying to build it in NCrunch. I can however build it in Visual Studio without any error. We do have a valid license for WpfElements.



I did find one possible solution on the Mindscape site, but it involves changing the project to work with NCrunch. Given that I am the only person using NCrunch in my organisation, I would prefer to make an NCrunch change to get the project to build, as to opposed to changing the project. Is there something I can tweak in NCrunch to either get it to recognise the license or to prevent it from failing in this situation.

I am using Visual Studio 2015 and NCrunch 2.15.0.9.

Thanks
Joe

Hey Remco,

Thanks for the reply.

As per your suggestion, I went into "Configure selected component" for the project and under General - Additional Files to include I did the following -

I began by just adding in the "Mindscape.WpfElements.WpfElementsCore.lic" file, but this made no difference.
I then removed that file and added the directory instead "..\..\packages\ThirdParty.Mindscape\lib\**.*" which contains the .lic file and the MindScape dlls. Alas, this didn't work either.

Doing so created the following directory - C:\Users\joe.kennedy\AppData\Local\NCrunch\19980\10\packages\ThirdParty.Mindscape\lib which contains the .lic and dlls.

After making the changes above I selected the project in NCrunch Tests and selected "Reload & Rebuild Selected Component".

So assuming I done it correctly, it unfortunately has not resolved the issue.

Anything else you can think of as I would really like to get this project into NCrunch?

Thanks
Joe

Alas not. :-(

I've turned on logging for NCrunch and performed a Reload and rebuild selected component. I had a look through the output but nothing jumped out at me.

I'm happy to send you the output if you think that will help. Files are fairly large. Medium logging has 5,808 lines and Detailed logging 14,630 lines

Is there any other log file that might shed some light on where it's failing?

Thanks
Joe

I have tried what was suggested on the Mindscape website and that solution did not work for me.

Next I tried setting NCrunch to compatibility mode and this did work! :-)

I was curious as to which setting it was that made the difference so I reverted back the config changes I made one at a time.

It turns out the one config setting that makes a difference is "Include static references in workspace". When this is set to False, my project (along with all other projects in the Solution) will build.

I'm guessing there is no reason why I should not keep this setting?

Thanks for all your help Remco.
Much appreciated. :-)
