Error Running NUnit/NCover
 

I am running some NUnit tests Via NCover from Visual Build and getting a "Fatal execution engine error"

If I run the NUnit on its own all is ok.

If I run the NUnit in NCover from the Command line all is OK

When I run from a Run Program step in visuall build goes Bang.

I have annother set of NUnit tests that run OK.

Can anyone help I need to find out what is different between running from the Command line and running from Visual Build.

It is Driving Me nuts

There's not much different at all; they both ultimately call CreateProcess to run a program. Using NUnit 2.2, NCover 1.3.3, and VBP 5.5, the following step:


"C:\Program Files\NCover\ncover.console" /c "c:\Program Files\NUnit 2.2\bin\nunit-console.exe" mock-assembly.dll
1
Run NCover
1
C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.2\bin



Ran without errors and produced this output:

Do you have a reproducible test case?

Whoooooo I have fixed it
 

The problem occurs when the /v switch is used with ncover ???

I have removed this and all is now working

It seemed to be specific too one set of unit tests but may be worth people knowing about in mind.

Do not need to use the /v switch and not sure why I had turned it on.

Also managed to replicate problem in a .bat file.

Sorry for any time this took up and thank you for the assistance.
