I am having issues running the NCrunch Tool to build/run tests vs2017 .net core projects. Just running the tests in vs2017 everything is fine. But when I try to run it in a build environment it errors out. There was a resolution for a similar error in v3.6 but I have 3.7. Here are the details.

Hi, thanks for sharing this issue.

The '_SplitProjectReferencesByFileExistence' error usually appears when MSBuild fails to resolve the targets imported by the project. Because this is a .NET Core project, the imports tend to be behind the scenes rather than listed in the file itself.

Does this solution build on the machine running ncrunch.exe if you try to build it using command-line MSBuild? For example:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\msbuild.exe" "E:\Build\A1\work\202d6ccafe264bc4\src\dmi.checkbee.sln"

Thanks! A couple of things that will help to narrow this down, considering that the solution works when you use it in VS on your dev machine ...

- Can you check whether running the console tool against the working copy on your dev machine performs as expected, or whether this gives the same error as on your build machine?
- Assuming your build machine has VS installed, could you try opening the checked-out solution using NCrunch in VS on the build machine to see if it works there?

Yes for both. Here is the output from running the tool against the solution on my dev m/c.

Running the tests on the build server(where the ncrunchtool fails) in VS2017 succeds. Do you want to see any particular log related to this?

Thanks for the extra details. This has me quite confused, as the load/build operation of the console tool is identical to that of the VS addin. The only real differences between them are in the synchronisation system.

I wonder if this might be related to user accounts. Does the console tool run under a different user account on the build server? Is it possible that the user account it's under might have restricted access to areas of the file system? This might explain why it's unable to resolve critical build targets.

Something else to check is whether the console tool is using the correct version of VS/MSBuild. Try specifying '/VS 2017' on the command line when you run the tool on the server and see if this makes any difference.

Thanks for your help. This seems to have resolved itself which is unfortunate since we are not able to pinpoint exactly what was causing it. I washaving issues using ncrunch inside vs2017 on the build machine. Tried all the different things suggested on the ncrunch site. Nothing worked. So I uninstalled ncrunch and vs2017 and reinstalled them and that seems to have taken care of the issue. I attribute this issue to something that went wrong in the initial install.

Thanks

Thanks for confirming the problem is gone. Considering the nature of this problem, I think it was related to the VS2017 install state. Probably there was a component missing or not correctly installed. I'm glad all is working now.

I am also experiencing this issue. A reinstall of VS2017 and NCrunch did not resolve the issue.

Hi, thanks for touching in and for sharing the sample solution. The problem in your case is being caused by the way the target frameworks are specified in your project file.

Try changing the following:

<TargetFrameworks>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFrameworks>

To:

<TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFramework>

Interestingly, this problem also existed in the earlier releases of VS2017. VS would bomb out if it tried to load a project with a single 'TargetFrameworks', since this tag was designed for multi-targeting. It looks as though MS have now fixed this problem somewhere above NCrunch's integration point, so now NCrunch fails but VS doesn't. I've implemented a workaround to this that will be in the next NCrunch release, but for the time being avoid specifying 'TargetFrameworks' with a single entry.
