Jenkins nunit-console.exe Process is terminated due to StackOverflowException Unhandled Exception System.Net.Sockets.SocketException

[Charles Ritchea]

 While running simple NUnit tests in Jenkins came upon this:
     [exec] ProcessModel: Default    DomainUsage: Multiple
     [exec] Execution Runtime: v4.0
     [exec] Excluded categories: not Exclude
     [exec] Process is terminated due to StackOverflowException.
     [exec] Unhandled Exception:

I've never seen this before. The only thing different from this test and all my others is I'm using Moq. No network activity of any kind.

Something else that is different:
I'm running nunit-console.exe against a solution file, not a dll. In that solution file, I've included two projects that are located in a completely different location in the workspace than the other projects. There is no issue building the solution, but I've noticed that P4VS seems to always think they are not in perforce until I checkout the solution file. Anyway, this got me to thinking that it could also be what's causing the below non-deterministic error.  So I guess to reproduce, create a solution with normal test projects that depend on projects located somewhere other than under the solution folder. It might also need to be running under jenkins.

Ok, I figured it out, I accidentally had an infinite loop in one of my static constructors.

Glad we could help. :-)

FYI, the particular stack trace merely shows why nunit terminated:
i.e. because the test process terminated. Currently, you would have
needed to look at the internal log to see why that process terminated.
We'll be working on bringing that info to you more readily.
