Query about Trend files

Hi, I started working on NCover Explorer 3.0.22 today and learning NCover through the documentation that is availabe.

When I generate report in NCover, the trend files are not being displayed. It says 'load a trend file to see a trend data in this chart'. From NCover Explorer Configuration -> Output options i have given the ouput file for trend data, but i am not sure how to load it.

Please adive and help. Thanking you

Hi Joe, since I have the same exact problem, would you like to post the answer in the forum?

Thanks

RE: Query about Trend files

to load a trend file, you should be able to click the "load trends" button in NCE after a coverage file is loaded and then the trends should display (you may have to select a different class to make the trend display refresh). What's happening for you now?

RE: Query about Trend files

Hi SporeWell, thanks for your reply. I generated two runs in order to see the coverage trend. Then I loaded the trend file using the button but still nothing is displayed (There is always the message "Load a trend file to see trend data in this chart"). Please note that the trend file is around 30Mb. What can I check?

Thanks

RE: Query about Trend files

are there any failing tests?

RE: Query about Trend files

No, I don't have any failing tests. In any case, when the coverage ends, NCover exits with an error code of 1. Coverage file and trend file is generated correctly. Maybe does it help?

Thanks

RE: Query about Trend files

Error code of one could state that a test has failed.

If you go look in the trend file for an

Node, see if the failed element is true on all of the items. If it is, then there is no trend data to display.

We have added additional functionality in the next release that allows you to toggle this option.

If you email support, we can send you a link to the latest nightly build.

RE: Query about Trend files

Hi Joe, you're right, all the nodes had a failed element. This is quite a strange thing, since I hadn't any failing test (all were successfull). In any case I'll follow your advice.

Thanks
