Hello everyone, I tried to submit a bug report but I was not able to, it told me to check my internet connection..

I have been using parallels and ncrunch for a long time and since version 3.17 ncrunch stopped working for me.

I am using Parallels desktop 13 with windows 10. Running VS 2017 latest version.
My code is located under my Mac (i.e: //Mac/Home/code_folder/solution_folder)
Until version 3.16 ncrunch would run my tests and everything would work just fine. After version 3.16 I started getting the following error message:

"System.IO.IOException: The path '' could not be processed because it is not of legal form
at nCrunch.Common.IO.DiskPath..ctor(String absolutePath, Boolean pathIsChecked)
..."

When my solution is under my C:/ drive on my windows instance then everything works just fine, but that workaround doenst really work for me since I only use windows to run VS.. I'd rather have all the code under my mac intead.

I hope this information can help you to fix the issue

Hello michaelkroes, so my ncrunch license does not allow me to use the latest version (support ended in Aug2018) but I'm using the 30 day trial of the latest version of ncrunch and I still get the same error.
The full stack trace:
System.IO.IOException: The path '' could not be processed because it is not of legal form
at nCrunch.Common.IO.DiskPath..ctor(String absolutePath, Boolean pathIsChecked)
at nCrunch.Common.IO.DirectoryPath.FromAbsolutePath(String absoluteFilePath)
at nCrunch.Client.ComponentLoader.SnapshotComponentLoader.()

I did create a new solution with one project and one test project, on the NCrunch test window I see both projects with the status 'Load failure'

My project is located under my mac

My solution looks like this

I forgot to mention my projects are under the dotnet core framework

About the bug report, my windows VM is connected to the internet via my mac, i can access the internet from my windows VM. I think the problem was because I was using an older version of ncrunch?! (version 3.16)

This is fixed in the next release of NCrunch, it will be released in the coming days.

Thanks again for your help :)

Hey michaelkroes, thank you for the quick fix. I will see if I can put my hands on a new license for NCrunch!

Once again thank you for the quick response!
