NCover 1.3.3 + .NET 1.1

I know some organisations aren't ready to deploy .NET 2.0 on their developers' machines. In fact Grant Drake, the author of NCoverExplorer is in exactly this situation. This meant that he wasn't able to use the new 'Test With... Coverage' functionality at work (as it required NCover 1.5.x + .NET 2.0). I have since added support for the earlier NCover 1.3.3. You can now use code coverage on a bare bones installation of Visual Studio .NET 2003 (as of build 1342). Note this will only work with VS2003. If you want to use coverage with VS2002, VS2005 or Express, you must use .NET 2.0 + NCover 1.5.1 (or later)

This is my way of apologising to Grant for leaving him the wrong side of a firewall, with an unfamiliar version control system at 3AM!

BTW, If you're using NCoverExplorer you should read the FAQ that Grant recently put up.

# re: NCover 1.3.3 + .NET 1.1

Hey again Jamie,

tried the latest drop from you and the nunit gui has some issues. I posted a bug to them so we'll see how it evolves.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1420200&group_id=10749&atid=110749

One thing though; they say that you are now using tagged releases which you werent previously, and that the bug I am experiencing was indeed in an intermediate build.

Are you using the "good" (as it gets) 2.2.6 release? (just want to confirm)

Just wanted to say a big thank you to all involved in making this possible, this is the best add-in I’ve seen for VS.net. It is a strange situation when the developer community with people with limited time and resources are able to build a far superior product to that of the MS VS dev team. You are providing a grate service, thank you!

<Rant> Maybe this will be a catalyst to convince MS that TDD and code coverage analysis should be included in VS from the most basic edition on up, maybe they will realize how many of their customers use TDD is needed by important to all developers </Rant>

I cannot get Test With...Coverage to run. I must be missing something. I'm using VS 2003 Pro on WinXP workstation. The .NET 2.0 framework is not installed.

I installed TD.NET 2.0.1343d and am able to "Run Test(s)", "Test With...Debugger", and "Test With...InProc"; but "Test With...Coverage" always results in this message in the Output window, then nothing else happens:

"Code Coverage support has been tested with the following configurations:

1) Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite, Developer or Tester

2) Visual Studio 2002/2003/2005
NCover v1.5.1 Beta 2 (http://www.ncover.org">http://www.ncover.org)
Microsoft .NET 2.0 RTM

3) Visual Studio 2003/2005
NCover v1.3.3 (http://www.ncover.org">http://www.ncover.org)
Microsoft .NET 1.1 RTM

This is an early version so please check back for updates."

I installed NCover 1.3.3 separately (and after installing TD.NET b/c I didn't see the NCover assemblies anywhere.

What am I missing?

I am having the same problem as Craig above. VS 2005 Pro in Win XP Pro and .Net 2.0 installed.

# re: NCover 1.3.3 + .NET 1.1

The problem is that NCover 1.3.3 must be installed to %ProgramFiles%\NCover for TD.NET to find it.

Thanks to Jamie Cansdale for providing this missing link.
