Build Report Will Not Show in CCNET

A CruiseControl.NET gotcha: adding NCoverExplorer to dashboard.config needs both a CCNET service restart and an IIS reset, or the report never shows.

NCoverExplorer_1.3.3_CCNetReports-729240 Ok, stupid … but time consuming.

If you edit your dashboard.config in CCNET to incldue NCoverExplorer details and for some reason the report NEVER SHOWS you need to do the following:

  1. Restart the CCNET Service
  2. Reset IIS (iisreset command)

I forgot to do #2 and for an hour and a half I banged my head against the wall trying to figure out what was going on.

Oops.
