Hi,

I had a build fail with the error message below and would like some help troubleshooting it since it seems to be an internal NCrunch error message.

The tests are being run from TeamCity using NCrunch Console v3.18.0.2.

Re-running the build fixed the issue, but obviously it would be better if it didn't fail in the first place.

Here's what seems like the relevant excerpt from the TeamCity log, please let me know if there's any other info you'd like to help with troubleshooting it. It seems like after the failure it went on to run the rest of the tests without issue.

Code:

Hi, thanks for sharing this issue.

We've had this recently appear on our own build too. It seems to be caused by a complex series of rare interactions around the test pipeline and in the cases where I've been able to pin it down, it's been related to tests being added or removed to NCrunch's in-memory model. The problem looks to have been there for quite a while (years probably).

There's a fix coming for this in the next release. I expect that you likely won't see this again (it should be very rare). If it's repeating for you, try clearing out the NCrunch cache file on your build machine.

The result of this issue is that there may be a few tests that are not included in the run and won't be reported in the results.
