NuGet

Name	Info
NukeBuildHelpers

Features

• Multi-project and Multi-environment Support: Handle releases for multiple projects and environments in a single repository.
• CI/CD Integration: Generate GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines workflows.
• Automated Versioning: Interactive CLI for bumping project versions with validation.
• Flexible Build Flow: Implement the target entries to create custom build flows.

Quick Start

Using the Repository Template

To quickly set up a new project, use the NukeBuildTemplate repository template:

1. Clone the template repository.
2. Follow the setup instructions in the template.

Installing via One-Line Script

For a fast installation, you can also use the following one-liner in windows cmd or powershell:

1. Open either cmd or powershell

2. Navigate to your project directory

3. Paste the command:

   C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell -c "& ([ScriptBlock]::Create((irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kiryuumaru/NukeBuildTemplate/main/init.ps1)))"
   

Installing via NuGet

If you already have a NukeBuild setup, you can install NukeBuildHelpers via NuGet:

dotnet add package NukeBuildHelpers

Usage

Preparing Build class

1. Change the base class from NukeBuild to BaseNukeBuildHelpers:

   class Build : BaseNukeBuildHelpers
   {
       ...
   }
   

2. Add your environment branches:

   class Build : BaseNukeBuildHelpers
   {
       ...
   
       public override string[] EnvironmentBranches { get; } = [ "prerelease", "master" ];
   
       public override string MainEnvironmentBranch { get; } = "master";
   }
   

Creating Build Flows

To create custom build flows, implement any of the target entries BuildEntry, TestEntry or PublishEntry.

• Example BuildEntry Implementation

  class Build : BaseNukeBuildHelpers
  {
      ...
  
      BuildEntry NukeBuildHelpersBuild => _ => _
          .AppId("nuke_build_helpers")
          .RunnerOS(RunnerOS.Ubuntu2204)
          .Execute(context => {
              var contextVersion = context.Apps.First().Value;
  
              string version = contextVersion.AppVersion.Version.ToString();
              string? releaseNotes = null;
  
              if (contextVersion.BumpVersion != null)
              {
                  version = contextVersion.BumpVersion.Version.ToString();
                  releaseNotes = contextVersion.BumpVersion.ReleaseNotes;
              }
              else if (contextVersion.PullRequestVersion != null)
              {
                  version = contextVersion.PullRequestVersion.Version.ToString();
              }
  
              DotNetTasks.DotNetClean(_ => _
                  .SetProject(RootDirectory / "NukeBuildHelpers" / "NukeBuildHelpers.csproj"));
              DotNetTasks.DotNetBuild(_ => _
                  .SetProjectFile(RootDirectory / "NukeBuildHelpers" / "NukeBuildHelpers.csproj")
                  .SetConfiguration("Release"));
              DotNetTasks.DotNetPack(_ => _
                  .SetProject(RootDirectory / "NukeBuildHelpers" / "NukeBuildHelpers.csproj")
                  .SetConfiguration("Release")
                  .SetNoRestore(true)
                  .SetNoBuild(true)
                  .SetIncludeSymbols(true)
                  .SetSymbolPackageFormat("snupkg")
                  .SetVersion(version)
                  .SetPackageReleaseNotes(releaseNotes)
                  .SetOutputDirectory(contextVersion.OutputDirectory / "main"));
          });
  }

• Example TestEntry Implementation

  class Build : BaseNukeBuildHelpers
  {
      ...
  
      TestEntry NukeBuildHelpersTest => _ => _
          .AppId("nuke_build_helpers")
          .RunnerOS(RunnerOS.Ubuntu2204)
          .Execute(context =>
          {
              var contextVersion = context.Apps.First().Value;
  
              DotNetTasks.DotNetClean(_ => _
                  .SetProject(RootDirectory / "NukeBuildHelpers.UnitTest" / "NukeBuildHelpers.UnitTest.csproj"));
              DotNetTasks.DotNetTest(_ => _
                  .SetProjectFile(RootDirectory / "NukeBuildHelpers.UnitTest" / "NukeBuildHelpers.UnitTest.csproj")
                  .SetResultsDirectory(contextVersion.OutputDirectory / "test-results"));
          });
  }
  

  See documentation here

• Example PublishEntry Implementation

  class Build : BaseNukeBuildHelpers
  {
      ...
  
      PublishEntry NukeBuildHelpersPublish => _ => _
          .AppId("nuke_build_helpers")
          .RunnerOS(RunnerOS.Ubuntu2204)
          .Execute(async context =>
          {
              var contextVersion = context.Apps.First().Value;
  
              if (contextVersion.IsBump)
              {
                  DotNetTasks.DotNetNuGetPush(_ => _
                      .SetSource("https://nuget.pkg.github.com/kiryuumaru/index.json")
                      .SetApiKey(GithubToken)
                      .SetTargetPath(contextVersion.OutputDirectory / "main" / "**"));
                  DotNetTasks.DotNetNuGetPush(_ => _
                      .SetSource("https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json")
                      .SetApiKey(NuGetAuthToken)
                      .SetTargetPath(contextVersion.OutputDirectory / "main" / "**"));
              }
  
              // Add release assets
              await AddReleaseAsset(contextVersion.OutputDirectory / "main");
          });
  }

Multiple AppId Support

NukeBuildHelpers now supports multiple applications in a single entry:

BuildEntry MultiAppBuild => _ => _
    .AppId("frontend", "backend", "shared")
    .Execute(context =>
    {
        foreach (var appContext in context.Apps.Values)
        {
            Log.Information("Building: {AppId} to {Output}", 
                appContext.AppId, appContext.OutputDirectory);
            
            DotNetTasks.DotNetBuild(_ => _
                .SetProjectFile(RootDirectory / appContext.AppId / $"{appContext.AppId}.csproj")
                .SetOutputDirectory(appContext.OutputDirectory));
        }
    });

Generating Workflows

• Generate GitHub and Azure Pipelines workflows using CLI commands:

  # Generate GitHub workflow
  build githubworkflow
  
  # Generate Azure Pipelines workflow
  build azureworkflow
  

  These commands will generate azure-pipelines.yml and .github/workflows/nuke-cicd.yml respectively.

  For advanced workflow configurations, you can utilize the WorkflowConfigEntry by overriding BaseNukeBuildHelpers.WorkflowConfig. See the documentation here for more details on customizing your workflows.

Bumping Project Version

• Use the build bump command to interactively bump the project version:

  build bump
  

CLI Subcommands

• Fetch: Fetch git commits and tags.
• Version: Show the current version from all releases.
• Bump: Interactive, bump the version by validating and tagging.
• BumpAndForget: Interactive, bump and forget the version by validating and tagging.
• StatusWatch: Show the current version status from all releases.
• Test: Run tests.
• Build: Build the project.
• Publish: Publish the project.
• GithubWorkflow: Build the CI/CD workflow for GitHub.
• AzureWorkflow: Build the CI/CD workflow for Azure.

Versioning and Status

• The Version subcommand shows the current version from all releases. Example output from the subcommand:
