Running NCover on a 64bit machine

At a customer we are not using the Visual Studio Code Coverage feature to measure the unit test code coverage. Instead we are using NCover. As we are migrating from CruiseControl.NET to TFS Build, we installed NCover on our fresh new build server.

Running the build resulted not in an all green report but in the following error:

NCoverError

“System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'NCover.Lib.x64.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)”

 

On the NCover forums, we found a solution for our problem. We accidently installed the x86 version of NCover on our 64bit build server.. Although it might work in some cases, it is not a supported configuration. So we removed the x86 version and did a clean install of the x64 version of NCover. This version includes both the 64-bit and 32-bit installations.

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
