Standalone NCrunch Support
We're big on NCrunch, and while there's some cross-over between the what NCrunch does and a CI server, I believe there are ways NCrunch could complement AppVeyor namely:
- Broader unit test support
- Code Coverage
With the recent release of Standalone NCrunch (see my comment regarding AppVeyor), I think there's potential for making use of it through cinst, and if you were to support the NCrunch XML format the results could then be imported into AppVeyor.
What do you think?

We would love to integrate NCrunch with AppVeyor!
I've seen your discussion regarding licensing. Yeah, interactive license activation is a blocking issue - let's see what would they come up with.

I've posted an update on the Standalone NCrunch blog post and they immediately replied saying it would be supported, they've also asked if there are any other blockers, I've replied though I suspect you'll be better placed to answer, could you get involved in the discussion?

Hi Feodor,
I'm the developer of the NCrunch and would be happy to discuss with you further the possibilities of integration between our products. As James has mentioned, we're including a fix for the license activation in the first full release of the console tool :)
Cheers,
Remco

Hi Remco,
Nice to meet you and welcome to AppVeyor forums!
I've started playing with the console edition to see how to better plug it into AV. The new area here for us is code coverage and showing its result reports.
I'll be posting my questions in this thread if you don't mind.

Hi Feodor,
Great to hear from you! I’m keen to hear how you get on with the tool. Let me know if you need a license to make use of it.
Cheers,
Remco

Another question regarding licensing - is it possible to activate/use the same license over and over again on different machines, i.e. technically, does is stick to a particular computer?
AppVeyor runs builds on dedicated build worker VMs which are newly created for every build.

For the NCrunch console tool, there shouldn’t be any technical constraint that would stop you from doing this. As long as the license information is still specified inside each VM using the command line before the tool is run, all should be well.

If it's of any help, I have an open source project, AutoTest.ArgumentNullException, I have set-up with CI using AppVeyor.
It has NCrunch enabled and also code coverage using OpenCover, both of which can be executed via commands in the root of the repo (
ncrunch.cmd
andcoverage.cmd
respectively). This could be useful in comparing any results you get out of NCrunch, as both OpenCover and NCrunch show the same level of coverage.James Skimming closed this discussion on 27 Dec, 2015 10:58 PM.
