NCover on 64 bit - CorFlags fix - corflags : error CF008 : The specified file does not have a valid managed header

Question

I'm trying to apply a fix to allow NCover v1.5.5 to run on Windows Server 2008 X64 via my TeamCity Continuous Integration server as outlined on this blog:

http://abdullin.com/journal/2008/6/6/how-to-run-free-ncover-on-a-64-bit-machine.html

Here is my log:

[09:47:04]: run-unit-tests:

So I'm trying to apply the CorFlags trick to make it work, but I am getting an error:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft.NET\SDK\v2.0\Bin>CorFlags.exe D:\TeamCity\build Agent\work\a65ff8d0771db303\tools\NCover\NCover.exe /32BIT+

corflags : error CF008 : The specified file does not have a valid managed header

Any ideas?? Help!

Answer 1

I actually solved this by upgrading to a newer version of NUnit, and changing my NCover task to point to the X86 version:

 <exec program="tools\ncover\NCover.Console.exe" workingdir="${build.dir}\Debug\UnitTests">
  <arg value="//w &quot;.&quot;" />
  <arg value="//x &quot;..\..\test-reports\Coverage.xml&quot;" />
  <arg value="&quot;..\..\..\lib\NUnit-2.4.8-net-2.0\bin\nunit-console-x86.exe&quot;" />
  <arg value="&quot;UnitTests.dll&quot; &quot;/xml:..\..\test-reports\UnitTests.xml&quot; &quot;/nologo&quot;" />
 </exec>

Answer 2

It's work perfectly! On x64 operation system need use nunit-console-x86.exe
