I'm just getting started with NCrunch, and I'm trying to get my solution to build. I have most of the projects building, but this one gives me an exception I can't figure out:

The only funny thing about this one is that it references a C++/CLI (Managed C++) assembly.

Hi, thanks for posting!

I've seen reports of this exception when compiling C++ assemblies, though not for projects that reference these.

Is the code for this project/solution something you're able to share? I'd really like to know what causes this problem.

It should be possible to work around the issue by setting the 'Instrument Output Assembly' project-level NCrunch configuration option to 'FALSE' for the project that is failing to build - although you will lose code coverage information for the project.

Unfortunately, I cannot share the project or solution. Removing "Instrument Output Assembly" did allow it to build, but I love the little dots for coverage! The exception is supposed to show the type that was rejected, but for some reason it's cut off "System.NotSupportedException: I" - is there a way to get the entire message to show up in the window?

Thanks!

I have a feeling that 'I' may be the extent of the exception description (some of the exceptions in this area are not very verbose). Though if it has been cut off, you'll likely find the full trace inside the log file used for bug reports. After the exception has occurred, choose 'Submit bug report' from the NCrunch menu, then choose to save the log to disk. Inside the 'Logfile' you should be able to find the exception if you search for it.

I'll make a note to review some of the code in this area. It will be difficult to fix without a reproduction, but maybe I can improve the error reporting in the next release so that we can be a step closer to working this out.

Yeah, I looked at the log, and the error was exactly as above with the type being "I", for whatever that's worth.

Thanks. If you manage to create a smaller shareable reproduction of the issue, please do let me know.

Just following up on this again, I figured it out - I think it might be a bug in Mono.Cecil. I had a method with this signature:
private static void Execute(
IntPtr handle,
int operation,
string name,
Action<IntPtr, int> callBack,
IntPtr inBuffer = default(IntPtr),
int inBufferSize = 0)

I removed the "default(IntPtr)" and NCrunch started working. It seems that it doesn't understand the constant.

Thanks for the reproduction. I'll note it down to be fixed!

Hi, did this get fixed in the end?

I'm experiencing something that looks an awful lot like this trying to build the NuGet code base ( available at http://nuget.codeplex.co...rceControl/BrowseLatest ).

A few of the projects have the standard NCrunch errors (implicit dependencies), but the project PowershellHost gives me this error. I'm running NCrunch version 1.44.0.11.

Please help - I honestly can't imagine trying to write code without NCrunch any more!

Hi, thanks for posting!

I've introduced a fix for this issue in the 1.45 release, due out within a few days.

In the content of the Nuget solution, I recommend removing the default IntPtr from the NativeMethods.CredUIPromptForCredentials method inside the PowershellHost project as a temporary workaround. It looks as though nothing is using this parameter, so hopefully this will get you working until 1.45 is released :)


Cheers,

Remco

For anyone interested, a fix for this problem has been introduced with the newly released version of NCrunch (v1.45).

It absolutely has! Thanks a bundle for this, I'm going to go off and buy myself a personal licence to go with the one my employer has. Keep up the good work.
