I just upgraded from NCrunch_VS2010_1.39.15b to NCrunch_VS2010_1.41.0.50 and now I have no more coverage markers anywhere in my code. Not in the test classes themselves, not in the code being tested, nowhere!
Everything still works as before. All my tests show in the NCrunch Tests window, and the jobs come and go in the NCrunch Processing Queue when I make code changes. I just don't get the dots :(

Also, NCrunch no longer shows up in the VS2010 extension manager.

I uninstalled before installing this. Also, I briefly installed 1.40.24b, because 1.41 came out the same day I decided to upgrade to that. But I didn't really get a chance to try 1.40.
Did I do something bad? :(

Hi, thanks for posting!

Yes, this does sound like the same problem as described for the 2012 RC (Adornment layers messed up).

Glad you managed to fix it!

Hi, thanks for reporting this problem! Would you be able to submit a bug report straight after enabling NCrunch on a solution? I'll take a look at the log file and help you troubleshoot from there.

Hi, thanks for sending through the log. Unfortunately, it was captured a little too late in the process, or this is a very large solution (the initialisation went off the top of the log). If you can perhaps send through another smaller capture on a small solution, that would be great.

Meanwhile, I'm wondering if you might be able to try the following:

1. Uninstall NCrunch entirely from your system (all versions for all versions of Visual Studio)
2. Ensure that the directory '\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Remco Software' and all its contents are completely deleted.
3. Run the following command: \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /setup
4. Wait for devenv.exe to finish its work (kill it after 15 minutes if it doesn't stop)
5. Load up Visual Studio 2010 and open any solution
6. Close down Visual Studio
7. Install the latest version of NCrunch
8. Run the following command again: \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /setup
9. Wait for devenv.exe to finish its work (kill it after 15 minutes if it doesn't stop)

... Then load up VS2010 again to see if the problem is fixed.

Previously where this issue has surfaced, it's been a Visual Studio configuration problem where the IDE somehow confuses the adornment layers between extensions. Performing a completely clean reinstall of NCrunch should reset the adornment layers and will usually solve the problem. I'm keen to hear if this does the trick!

Thanks for the fresh report. The report confirms that this is an adornment layer problem, which means that its definitely a Visual Studio caching/configuration issue.

Considering that a reinstall didn't seem to reset whatever is being cached by VS, I think the next thing to try may be to load VS under a different mode to see if this has any effect. Try loading VS2010 using the following command line:

\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /RootSuffix Exp

This problem has been reported a few times over the last couple of years. In each situation, it was resolved via clean reinstallation of NCrunch. Sometimes multiple reinstalls were required. The true underlying cause of the issue still isn't known to me, although I have seen it also reported for other Visual Studio plugins that rely on the adornment layers.

Ok, just followed the uninstall-reinstall steps again with a reboot in-between and it's working!

To be honest, I have a feeling I didn't properly read your steps the first time and may have missed a step - so not sure if the reboot actually mattered.

Thanks for your help!
