On our BuildServer we are getting a following error:

Code:

On my dev machine, if i use the same cli command to start ncrunch and use the same grid server, it works without Problem.
Can you help me please to find out what is going wrong?

Hi, thanks for sharing this issue.

This looks to me like an install state issue. I think the build system is trying to wire in resources from two different versions of VS2019.

Do you have the build tools installed on this machine? Or another version of VS?

Hi Remco,

I found some new Informations about this Problem

The error does not occur every time, often everything works as it should.
I was able to make 2 detailed logs: one with error and one without.
I found that, on run with the error, logs with a message "Added binding redirect for: Microsoft.Build.Framework" are missing

I have provided Logs with contact form.

Thanks for sending this through. Could you confirm for me if you have the NCrunch 'Build process CPU architecture' setting set to a consistent value for all the projects in your solution, and if not, does setting this to the same thing for all projects resolve the issue?

The logs indicated that this setting is overridden for a number of the projects in your solution.

I've identified an issue that can cause erroneous behaviour when the setting has different values between projects.

Does removing the setting value at project level for all your projects (thus making it consistent) resolve the problem?

No, it doesn't. Do you need a new detailed logs of problem?

Thanks for confirming this. I'm wondering if you can check the following for me:

- Is there any difference if you specify the version of Visual Studio to be used by the console tool through the /VS parameter?
- Which versions of Visual Studio or the MSBuild tools do you have installed on your build server?
- Can you check if there are any directories inside "C:\Users\f-tfsbuild\AppData\Local\NCrunch\BuildSystem" while your build isn't running? If so, does clearing these out make any difference?

Yes, There are some directories.

It helps. I did 10 runs and all were successful.
PS. After each run was a new directory under C:\Users\f-tfsbuild\AppData\Local\NCrunch\BuildSystem created.

Sorry, i can't reproduce it anymore. I have not saved files from the directory C:\Users\f-tfsbuild\AppData\Local\NCrunch\BuildSystem

Fair enough :)

The fix included in this build makes NCrunch more resilient to corruption of this particular directory. I think this problem was caused by failed cleanup (probably due to file locks) which left the BuildSystem directories in an invalid state. Because they hung around, it was just a matter of time until a new process spawned with the same ID as the broken directory and assumed ownership of it.

NCrunch will now fix up the directory if it exists in an unexpected state. So in theory, under the new build you should never see this problem again.

Hallo Remco,

Weird problem happened again today. Something with a message "Test not run". Because of weirdness my first test was to clear the directory C:\Users\f-tfsbuild\AppData\Local\NCrunch\BuildSystem. After that, the error disappeared.

I just wanted to let you know that the fix doesn't (always) work. We clean now the directory regularly.

Ncrunch Version 4.13

Thanks for letting me know.

There are a LOT of things that can cause the tests not run error. I think most likely this was caused by a different, intermittent problem. There are things in your own code and environment that can also cause this problem (i.e. out of memory exceptions, etc). The problem described earlier in this thread was a fairly open and shut case. I don't think that clearing the BuildSystem directory will have any affect on this problem.
