Empty TestOutput files

Started by ghelyar on 4,817 views

Is there a way to prevent creation of test output files that are empty? e.g. a 0kb file called "_0abEPvK2tjZfjSxYurqeVlH9MAk_2.txt"

We run our ncrunch tests on a build machine and having tens of thousands of these empty files is slowing us down.

We could delete them after ncrunch completes but that would leave dead links in the html report, the files still have to be created, listed and deleted, and I wondered if there was a nicer way.
Hi, thanks for posting.

I don't know of any way of stopping these files from being created in the current version. Technically, they don't need to exist, as they don't contain any data. I'll take a look at adjusting the report writer so it avoids creating them for tests with no trace output.
