Support the new Visual Studio Code IDE
Support the new Visual Studio Code editor.
While it doesn't yet provide extensibility for utils like NCrunch, it is apparently planned for upcoming development, so I wanted to get this on the NCrunch radar.

Ncrunch is a wonderful tool, and one of my favorites. More and more I am working with customers who are using VS Code as a cheap and lightweight tool compared to VS. It would help me a lot to be able to use customer environments to demonstrate Ncrunch and how it super powers TDD

Our company is looking to move all development from Visual Studio to VS Code for cost savings. The only argument that I have against that decision is the use of Live Unit Testing which is built into Visual Studio. If NCrunch supported VS Code, switching to VSCode plus NCrunch would save us a lot of money.
There is a JavaScript test runner named WallabyJS that does the same thing for JavaScript that NCrunch does for C# that works with VSCode, so this should be possible.

This would be really great. I'm at a point where NCrunch is the main reason I open Visual Studio, and I'm probably going to move away from Windows entirely.

This would still be a great feature for NCrunch!
Most of the developers I know have/are swapping over to VS Code. NCrunch is my sole reason for having to transition back and forth between Visual Studio and VS Code. NCrunch has become one of those tools that I can't do without anymore. It is a critical piece of my development environment, but it would be nice to have support in VS Code as well.
If the price was reasonable, I would be willing to buy it as a separate product or as a bundle with the standard Visual Studio version. I am not sure how many other developers would feel the same way, but for me, it would be worth it.

VSCode is getting near the point where it can replace VS for a lot of folks. NCrunch on VSCode would be a huge step towards that.

This would be a massive improvement developing in VSCode.

I really enjoy NCrunch and I am also a Visual Studio Power User. Currently my dependency to these two tools forces me to stay on Windows Platform. Visual Studio Code is at the point were it would allow me to perhaps make a switch, so only NCrunch is left. C'mon, you know you want to :)

NCrunch is almost my only reason to open Visual Studio. It will be nice to have it on vscode

Sure `dotnet watch test` isn't nearly as nice as NCrunch, but it get's the job done. I've even seen simple hacks to the stdout which give a simple list of failing tests which alleviate the scrolling wall of text in the command line. If you just want fast TDD feedback, then the dotnet cli is good enough for most folks.

I'd like to add my voice to this... I was just looking to see if it did support VSCode. NCrunch is a super piece of kit, and I'd love to use it in my day to day environment on linux.

This would be a welcome addition, but one which would take quite a bit of work, I'm sure. I would love to use VS Code more, especially for F# development, and it would be awesome to have a first-class continuous test runner such as NCrunch in that environment.

There's nothing equivalent I've found yet - just want a simple way to auto-run tests and indicate success/failure, coverage as a bonus

+1 our company would love this

Yes we need this. I also want to move away from VS but ncrunch is holding me.
