getting this when running nunit through ncover. Any idea?

Answer 1

In my case it was happening because of WebGrease. I updated it to the latest version (using NuGet) but it was conflicted with the dependencies. I manually added the below code in web.config and it worked as a charm.

Please note my solution will only work when the error is related to WebGrease. The error code will remain the same. Also, you need to change the version in oldVersion and newVersion accordingly.
