coverage analysis failed. failed to initialize external storage
Completed
Hi All!
I'm trying (desperatly) to run a test coverage but I keep getting the message "coverage analysis failed. failed to initialize external storage". What can this be? There is no external storage involved at all.
Thanks,
Karl

Hello Karl,
Could you please send us log files? If you run tests from within Visual Studio, start Visual Studio with the following command line arguments: devenv.exe /ReSharper.LogLevel Trace /ReSharper.LogFile. You will find log files in the '%Temp%\JetLogs' folder. Please empty this folder before you launch Visual Studio and start working with dotCover.
Kind regards,
Maria
Hi again. Any results from analyzing the files or didn't you get them?
A small update from me. I recently got my license upgraded (and are no longer using the evaluation version of DC 3) and now everything runs significantly faster. Still same error though but I do not have to wait a long, long time for it to show.
Hello Karl,
Unfortunately, I haven't received any files. Could you please upload them to our ftp server: ftp://ftp.intellij.net/.uploads/ ?
Kind regards,
Maria
Hi again!
Seems like it works fine if running VS as administrator.
I'll do that when running DC.
Same problem for me.
VS2015, R# Ultimate 10.0.2.
My development account runs using UAC (User Access Control). Dot Cover fails with this error. The work-around mentioned (launch VS2015 with elevated privilege) works, but it's generally not good practice to develop with elevated privilege.
Hi David,
We have found the cause of the problem and it turned out that this is not dotCover's fault. There can be some third-party applications in a system that block WCF services registered without administrative rights. As a result dotCover can't connect to its external process.
Please have a look at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/DCVR-7906.
Thanks for the quick reply. I have read through the notes and will find out which piece of software is causing the issue.
Got into the same problem, I had to reinstall DotCover to fix this issue
