Hi, thanks for sharing this issue.

Could you try the following?

1. Create an empty text file inside the solution directory in your solution (not in the NCrunch workspace)
2. Go to the 'Additional files to include' NCrunch solution-level setting
3. Add the empty text file
4. Wait for the engine to reset

Does this resolve the problem? I think that because NCrunch couldn't find any files in the directory that needed to be in the workspace, it simply hasn't constructed it in its relative position. By placing a file in there, the workspace builder should ensure that it exists.

Awesome! Thanks for confirming this :)



This is kind of what we would call a structural limitation. We copy files from your source directory into a sandbox workspace that we use to run builds and tests. For this purpose, we've only really been interested in copying files rather than entire directory structures. It IS technically possible for us to expand this to include directories too, but there would be a trade-of in terms of complexity and possibly performance, because it was never really a use case that was considered.

There are other ways you could work around this, for example, you could include a custom build step that ensured the directory would always exist when your project is built.
