Hi all,

I'm trying to set up an Environment variable as the solution's NCrunch Cache Storage Path, but I'm not able to do it.

I'm following:
https://www.ncrunch.net/...unch-cache-storage-path

When setting the value:
<NCrunchCacheStoragePath>%MyNCrunchPath%\project1</NCrunchCacheStoragePath>

NCrunch is showing an error:
NCrunch was unable to access the directory 'C:\src\projects\project1\%MyNCrunchPath%\project1' as specified in the configuration for this solution. Cache data will instead be stored in the default location.

It doesn't seem to like the env variable. I'm using NCrunch 2.27.0.3 so it should be supported.

Any tip would help.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this issue.

I'm having difficulty reproducing this problem ... when I create an environment variable and set it up in the same manner as you've done, NCrunch v2.27.0.3 seems to create the storage directory and use it as expected.

Are you certain the environment variable has been properly added to your system settings? Note that if you add the environment variable after launching Visual Studio, it won't be present for NCrunch until VS has been restarted.

[v3.6.0.2]

I use below in my NCrunch console config file:
Quote:

<NCrunchCacheStoragePath>%NCrunchConsoleCacheStoragePath%</NCrunchCacheStoragePath>
<WorkspaceBasePath>%NCrunchConsoleWorkspaceBasePath%</WorkspaceBasePath>

but only WorkspaceBasePath setting seems to be respected. If I hardcode the cache storage path, it works as expected.

Do you see NCrunch give any errors in its log when it attempts to load from this configuration file? This setting is being passed through a method to resolve environment variables, so something must be amiss. Are you able to share the value of this environment variable as this exists on your machine?

No (but I see it uses the workspace setting correctly due to the notation of D:\NCrunch\ConsoleWorkspace\ in log).

D:\NCrunch\ConsoleCache (if using this hardcoded path and executing NCrunch via cmd it creates the dir with EmployeeAPI.crunchsolution.cache file in it, using environment variable it doesn't).

Ok, thanks, I've managed to reproduce this now.

NCrunch isn't liking the environment variable exclusively taking up the whole value when trying to parse the storage path as a relative path.

A fix will be included in the next build.
