Our main build broke today. We have about 53 projects in our solution (yes, its huge) and all of a sudden … pow … NAnt started timing out. Upon further investigation I noticed that the build was timing out at the following instance:
Coverage Log: Coverage.Log
Waiting for profiled application to connect…Connected
Configuring Profiler…
It would hang until I killed it or until NAnt timed out (600 seconds/10 Mins). If I killed it, I received an “Object not set to an instance of object” exception.
Digging around some more I found out that others had this very same problem.
Just as they were, I was using NCover 1.5.8, the last free version. I followed suit as them, and used our NCover 2 license for our build server and everything started working again.
It seems that NCover has a critical mass that it reaches and then its like a game of Tumba. It could only handle so much and then it just fell over.
If you’re having this issue, just run NCover 2.
