NCover 1.5.8 does generate coverate report

Question

I run NCoverExploler, configure it, so command line look like this

"D:\Development\Projects\t.net\lib\NCover\NCover.Console.exe" //reg //w "D:\Development\Projects\t.net\build_output\t.net" //v "D:\Development\Projects\t.net\lib\NUnit\nunit-console.exe" t.Core.Tests.dll /framework=4.0

Output coverage.xml appears to be empty. In the same time, if I run Coverate report by Visual Studio (by TestDriven.Net), it generates just perfectly.

I've compared coverage.log files for 2 cases. In case if I run by NCoverExporer:

EVENT: Log link established. EVENT: Communications link established. MESSAGE: Ready for command input. EVENT: Verbose Logging Disabled EVENT: Logging Enabled EVENT: AutoExclusion Enabled MESSAGE: Monitoring Assemblies: (All Loaded Assemblies) MESSAGE: Excluding Types and Methods with these Attributes: CoverageExcludeAttribute; MESSAGE: Received driver ready event. MESSAGE: v2.0.50727

In case of TestDriven.net

EVENT: Log link established. EVENT: Communications link established. MESSAGE: Ready for command input. EVENT: Verbose Logging Disabled EVENT: Logging Enabled EVENT: AutoExclusion Enabled MESSAGE: Monitoring Assemblies: Microsoft.Web.Mvc;Moq;T.Core;T.Core.Tests;Web; MESSAGE: Excluding Types and Methods with these Attributes: CoverageExcludeAttribute;System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.ExcludeFromCodeCoverageAttribute; MESSAGE: Received driver ready event. MESSAGE: v4.0.30319

Please see the difference in Monitoring Assemblies and MESSAGE: v4.0.30319. In case of TD.net, it correctly supples .NET framework.

Any clues, how to make NCover make work, as it in TD.net ? Where is it configured?

Answer 1

try the answer I found here: Force NCover 1.5.8 to use v4 framework like testdriven.net does?.

I also made all programs run with .net 4 using the other answer to that question, but don't know if that was important or not. I'll investigate and update the answer.

I have updated my answer in the other thread with the solution which I was able to use to get things up and running on my (win 7 x64) machine. Hopefully it will help you, I now get the MESSAGE: v4.0.30319 in my coverage.log.

Answer 2

NCover 1.5.8 Does not support .net 4.0 and it looks like TD.NET is picking up .NET 4 as the default.
