VS 20222
NCrunch 4.18.0.3

I have several integration test projects. All of their namespaces/project follow the exact same pattern:
Abc.Xyz.IntegrationTesting.Zyx.Cba

Where the name always includes ".IntegrationTesting."

I've created a custom engine mode as follows


And have also tried w/ a 3rd condition so it reads same as above, but re-adds the first filter:


For some reason, there is always one project that is NEVER ignored. The project show up as tests to run in the Tests window with all the tests. However, all of the other .IntegrationTest. projects are correctly ignored.

I've double and triple checked the project names, namespaces, folder names, etc... Everything in this one project is spelled correctly. I've also checked the .user file in the project and it doesn't reference anything (just some empty xml). And the solution project/user file doesn't reference this project either.

Any ideas on how I can get NCrunch to exclude this one rogue project?

FWIW: I've disabled NCrunch multiple times. Toggled engine modes. Recreated the engine mode. Still the same issue. This has been going on for a few months and I finally just got annoyed enough to post here :)

If I get some time, I'll see if I can create a sample solution. What I haven't done is pull the solution down into a new local repo and test. I think I'll do that first.

Appreciate the tip. You're right, I am aware of the exclude vs ignore option. FWIW: This project shows the expand icon w/ the tests, just like regular unit tests. And the other integration tests exclude the expand icon, just like a regular project (non test project). It's a bit quirky.

By chance are there any other locations I can look to see if something has been cached?

There is only a directory named: .NCrunch_<solution.name> There is no folder for _ncrunch_<solution.name>

I did delete the directory (while VS was closed). Rebooted. Same issue.

Decided to just right-click on project in the tests window and ignore selected tests (only selected the project itself, no children). The tests that should be ignored with the filter are now ignored. But the odd thing is the manually ignored tests (project) does not show up in any of the ncrunch project/user files. It just works now. For now, I don't have much more time to dig into this further. If it pops up again, I'll just manually ignore as-needed.
