Trouble configuring TeamCity and dotCover

Question

Im trying to configure TeamCity 6.5 with inbuilt NUNIT and bundled dotCover. For reasons I do not understand dotCover Merge command fails, along with all subsequent commands with some non-zero exit code.

Using Nunit 2.5.10, x64 on a 64 bit machine, with .NET4.0 runtime for nunit. I selected dotCover as the coverage tool, left blank to use the inbuilt dotCover, and my filters look like this:

+:BSF
-:Aspose.Cells
-:BSF.UnitTest
-:BSF.IntegrationTests
-:DataAnnotationsExtensions.ClientValidation
-:DataAnnotationsExtensions
-:Elmah
-:FluentNHibernate
-:Iesi.Collections
-:NHibernate
-:Ninject
-:NLog
-:nunit.framework
-:nunit.mocks
-:pnunit.framework
-:Rhino.Mocks
-:WebActivator
-:Yahoo.Yui.Compressor

And here is the build log :

Sorry for the late answer. You could have such filters and that should be enough:

+:BSF*
-:BSF.UnitTest
-:BSF.IntegrationTests

Strange exit-code can mean that the console runner process crashed for unclear reasons. You can either try the latest console runner build (http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/DCVR/dotCover+2.2+Nightly+Builds) or update dotCover built in TC. In order to do that put a zip on the TC-server to the following path: TeamCity \ webapps \ ROOT \ WEB-INF \ plugins \ dotNetRunners \ agent \ dotCover.zip (full path may vary) This will automatically deploy it to all agents. If that doesnt't work for you, please feel free to contact the support.
