Project cannot be built

Hi, I have a solution where NCrunch cannot build my Graphql client project.
Also the unittests project does not reference that project, but NCrunch does not attempt to build it.

Where could I provide the sample project please ?

Thx,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,

We've done no work to support this kind of project type.

You can submit small samples in ZIP form through the NCrunch contact form.

Sample submitted.

It's a regular project, with a regular nuget library.

Thanks for sharing this sample.

The problem is caused by a missing dependency. In the project file, some of the Graphql files are explicitly removed from the project:
<ItemGroup>
<None Remove="GetAllOthersV1.graphql" />
<None Remove="GetOneContractVersionV1.graphql" />
</ItemGroup>

As a result, NCrunch doesn't copy them to the workspace when building the project. This causes the build to fail with a very obscure error.

You'll either need to avoid removing these files, or add them to NCrunch's 'Additional files to include' setting.

Thanks. That was the culprit. I would have never known that from the current ncrunch output. I had to contact you through this forum to find out. Maybe something that could be improved ? (It's an excellent product and delivers great quality - don't misunderstand me ;)

Where we can, we do try to get NCrunch giving useful error messages.

In this particular case, the error was coming from a nuget package - not from NCrunch. The only way for us to improve on this error would be to introduce special handling for just this Nuget package. Given that there are a lot of Nuget packages out there, you can probably understand our limitations. If it hits this forum a lot, then we may end up doing just that.
