NCrunch is a great tool. However, I wanted to report a cosmetical issue when showing NCrunch details of a single line in the text editor. Unfortunately, attaching an image to this post is unnecessarily complex (I cannot just serve an image on the web) so I will try to describe on how to reproduce and what the effect looks like.


Steps to reproduce:

• Write a unit test that calls a method with a string argument including an underscore character followed by any alphanumerical character; example:
  Quote:

  sut.Validate("abc_def").Should().BeTrue();

• Make the test fail on the line, the method gets called (here by making "Validate" return false)

• With the mouse cursor click on or hover over the VS code editor border over the NCrunch red cross signalling that a test has failed at this line

Observation:
In the popup/tooltip window, the expectation of the unit test assertion is printed. Here the underscore character is no longer printed separately but underlines the following character (here: abcdef) just as known from UI accelerators.


I'm running Visual Studio 15.9.10 Professional, NCrunch 3.22.0.1, NUnit 3.11.0, NUnitTestAdapter 3.11.2, and FluentAssertions 5.5.3 on a German Windows 10 1809 with US English UI, German locale and Visual Studio in English.

Cheers and keep up the good work,
Kristian

Hi Remco,

I have edited my original post concerning the languages and here's some output from the Visual Studio C# Interactive Console:

> System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture
[de-DE]
> System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture
[en-GB]
> System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InstalledUICulture
[de-DE]

Cheers

I've made a mistake: it's not an underscore character in the assertion string but an ampersand. An underlined character following the ampersand character is just the effect.

Stripped down to not using FluentAssertions but plain NUnit Assert, this is the simplest test I could write reproducing the effect, Class1.cs:



The output in the tooltip is then: Expected: "xy"

Hope this helps. I'm willing to send anybody an email with a screenshot of the effect.

Maybe someone can change the post's title to reflect the ampersand instead of the underscore character.

Cheers!

Thanks for being so helpful! This will be fixed in the next release.
