I am attempting to set up NCover for usage in my FinalBuilder project, for a .NET 4.0 C# project, but my final coverage output file contains no coverage data.

I am using:

• NCover 3.3.2
• NUnit 2.5.4
• FinalBuilder 6.3.0.2004

All tools are the latest official as of today.

I've finally managed to coax FB into running my unit tests under NCover for the .NET 4.0 project, so I get Tests run: 184, ..., which is correct.

However, the final Coverage.xml file output from NCover is almost empty, and looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- saved from NCover 3.0 Export url='http://www.ncover.com/' -->
<coverage profilerVersion="3.3.2.6211" driverVersion="3.3.2" exportversion="3" viewdisplayname="" startTime="2010-04-22T08:55:33.7471316Z" measureTime="2010-04-22T08:55:35.3462915Z" projectName="" buildid="27c78ffa-c636-4002-a901-3211a0850b99" coveragenodeid="0" failed="false" satisfactorybranchthreshold="95" satisfactorycoveragethreshold="95" satisfactorycyclomaticcomplexitythreshold="20" satisfactoryfunctionthreshold="80" satisfactoryunvisitedsequencepoints="10" uiviewtype="TreeView" viewguid="C:\Dev\VS.NET\LVK.IoC\LVK.IoC.Tests\bin\Debug\Coverage.xml" viewfilterstyle="None" viewreportstyle="SequencePointCoveragePercentage" viewsortstyle="Name">

  </documents>
</coverage>

The output in FB log is:

...
***************** End Program Output *****************

Execution Time: 1,5992 s

Coverage Xml: C:\Dev\VS.NET\LVK.IoC\LVK.IoC.Tests\bin\Debug\Coverage.xml
NCover Success

My configuration of the FB step for NCover:

• NCover what?: NUnit test coverage
• Command: C:\Program Files (x86)\NUnit 2.5.4\bin\net-2.0\nunit-console.exe
• Command arguments: LVK.IoC.Tests.dll /noshadow /framework:4.0.30319 /process=single /nothread
  • Note: I've tried with and without the /process and /nothread options
• Working directory: %FBPROJECTDIR%\LVK.IoC.Tests\bin\Debug
• List of assemblies to profile: %FBPROJECTDIR%\LVK.IoC.Tests\bin\Debug\LVK.IoC.dll
  • Note: I've tried just listing the name of the assembly, both with and without the extension.

The documentation for the FB step doesn't help, as it only lists minor sentences for each property, and fails to give examples or troubleshooting hints.

Since I want to pull the coverage results into NDepend to run build-time analysis, I want that file to contain the information I need.

I am also using TestDriven, and if I right-click the solution file and select "Test with NCover", NCover-explorer opens up with coverage data, and if I ask it to show me the folder with coverage files, in there is an .xml file with the same structure as the one above, just with all the data that should be there, so the tools I have is certainly capable of producing it.

Has anyone an idea of what I've configured wrong here?
