Shared components for the NUKE build system.

For more information about these components, see the docs.

To read more about shared components in general, see the official NUKE docs.

Usage

To use the shared components in your build, install the NuGet package:

dotnet add package .\build\MyNukeBuild.csproj Hexagrams.Nuke.Components

ℹ In your build project, you'll want to keep or add an explicit package reference to Nuke.Common. This will ensure you keep the project organization provided by the NUKE MSBuild targets:

dotnet add package .\build\MyNukeBuild.csproj Nuke.Common

See the samples for examples of how to use these components in your build projects.

Build

This project uses the NUKE build tool (naturally). NUKE builds can be invoked in the following ways:

NUKE global tool

The preferred way to invoke NUKE builds is with the global tool. To install it, run the following command:

dotnet tool install nuke.globaltool -g

Verify your installation by listing the available targets with this command:

nuke --help

Build targets can now be run like so:

nuke compile
nuke test
nuke verify-format
# etc.

ℹ For added flavour, enable tab-completion for the global tool in your shell. See the official docs for instructions here.

Scripts

NUKE generates PowerShell, cmd, and bash scripts that invoke builds and build targets. To select a build target, specify it either as an argument or with the --target switch. For example:

./build.ps1 # Run the default build
./build.ps1 test # Run the 'test' target
./build.ps1 --target test # Run the 'test' target

Console app

NUKE builds are pure C# console apps. So, to run a build you can run the _build project from your IDE, just as you would any other executable.

IDE plugins

NUKE also provides plugins to invoke builds from your preferred IDE:

• Microsoft VisualStudio
• Microsoft VSCode
• JetBrains ReSharper
• JetBrains Rider
