Powershell and NCover

Question

trying to call NCover 1.5.8 from PowerShell.

invoke-expression "ncover.console.exe nunit-console-x86.exe Test.dll /labels /xml:test.xml //x coverage.xml //reg"

and failed with the message "Profiled process terminated. Profiler connection not established.".

If called from cmd console,

ncover.console.exe nunit-console-x86.exe Test.dll /labels /xml:test.xml //x coverage.xml //reg

will run successfull.

Is there something different with the //reg swith for NCover in powershell?

Thanks

First, you don't need to use Invoke-Expression. From powershell, try invoking exactly the same way as in cmd

ncover.console.exe nunit-console-x86.exe Test.dll /labels /xml:test.xml //x coverage.xml //reg

If you get the same error, does it work to shell out to cmd temporarily?

cmd.exe /c ncover.console.exe nunit-console-x86.exe Test.dll /labels /xml:test.xml //x coverage.xml //reg
