Visual Studio reports 0 build errors. NCrunch reports build failure and lists several VS error messages.

1. I started with a VB project
   
2. I moved several VB classes into a separate class library. Let's call it Planets.
   
3. During the move I changed the names of some of the classes, properties, and methods.
   
4. I successfully tested and built the Planets library.
   
5. I came back to the original project, added a reference to the Planets project.
   
6. Initially VS listed errors for those items I moved to Planets because the names didn't match anymore.
   
7. I updated all the names to the "Planets" version of the names.
   
8. I noticed VS listed errors for these new names, especially Enums even though the names were correct.
   
9. As I clicked on the error in the VS Error List VS would remove the error.
   
10. Eventually VS listed no errors in Errors List.
    
11. I opened the NCrunch Tests window.
    
12. NCrunch reports "1 project is failing to build".
    
13. NCrunch appears to list the same errors that were originally in the VS Error List.
    
14. I closed the NCrunch Tests window and disabled NCrunch.
    
15. I enabled NCrunch and opened the Tests window.
    
16. NCrunch still shows the VS build errors.
    
17. I closed and restarted VS and opened Tests window.
    
18. NCrunch still shows the VS build errors.
    
19. I cleaned the solution and did a Rebuild.
    
20. NCrunch still shows the VS build errors.
    
21. Also, I see build errors in Processing Queue window.
    

Maybe I should try a reboot?

Hi Remco,

I had to go through 3-4 cycles of shutting down VS and deleting the _ncrunch directory and then restarting VS and NCrunch. But eventually, NCrunch didn't list any errors and finally listed the test projects and tests in the Tests window.

I did notice at one point VS showed errors which were not shown previously. NCrunch showed a bunch of other earlier errors. I cleaned up the new set of errors.

Also, I noticed the class library I was referencing, which I called Planets, in my original post was at ASP.NET framework 4.5.2 and my test project was at 4.5.0.

VS complained about the differences. I set Planets project to 4.5 and VS stopped complaining about the different versions.

Not sure if those two items were the cause of NCrunch showing those older errors.

Maybe VS 2017 has some internal build synchronization problem? I don't know.

I'll have to keep in mind the idea of deleting the _Ncrunch* folder to fix things up.

Thanks, Ed
