We use Devforce 2010 in our app and it uses Postsharp to modify our entities and create metadata.

This metadata is empty when running tests in NCrunch.

But not in Xunit, Nunit, or MStest using either built in runner or TestRunner from testdriven.net.

How do I get NCrunch to fire off postsharp on these project before it runs the test?

ok I have tried turning on Post build in the ncrunch configuration for the project under test and the test project as well.

I am not very sure of how or when postsharp knows to fire off but I am pretty sure this is what is causing the tests to fail.

It did not solve the problem.

perhaps this might shed some light on it.

thanks for your help.

NCrunch has changed the way I develop, it is a fantastic tool, a real game changer. Thanks.

I have submitted a bug report. (I do not know what to include in the Additional files at this point).

Here is a project that is processed by postsharp. I could see nothing referenced.

same error with that setting on true for all projects in the solution (would be nice to have a setting to change them all at once, I have a lot of projects)

thanks.

Looking through the details pane after a reset I only see this for each failed test. I dont see any activity at the project level (lower pane is empty).

I did not see any more details in the detail pain than what I posted. I did turn on the property that uses the output window.

Here are some sample entries that contain post sharp.

I have a sample project that is similar to my main app. I just added a test project and a dummy test that is failing exactly the same as my main app. It is zipped up and ready to send. Just tell me how you want it delivered.

Thanks!
