NCrunch无法识别环境变量

Question

I've set my NCrunch cache storage path to %TEMP%\\NCrunchCache . However, I get the following error:

NCrunch was unable to access the directory 
'C:\src\solutionFolder\%TEMP%\NCrunchCache' as specified in the configuration for this solution.
Cache data will instead be stored in the default location

The documentation suggests this is possible:

From NCrunch v2.20, this setting supports specifying environment variables (ie '%MyCacheRootDir%\\MySolution')

What am I missing?

Answer 1

Have you tried restarting VS since changing the environment variable? When you start a process, it gets copies of the environment variables, so if VS was opened before you changed it, you might be working with old variables.

I'd consider closing all VS instances, then making sure you don't have any NCrunch.BuildHostXXX.x86.exe processes in Task Manager.
