Repost.Client.MSBuild

Build-time Repost client generation for .NET — the Grpc.Tools-style idiom: a NuGet package whose targets run the Repost schema engine as an MSBuild task before CoreCompile and compile the generated C# client straight into your assembly. Pairs with the Repost.Client runtime package (and Repost.Client.Testing for stub sends).

Quick start

Put your schema at repost/schema.repost next to the project:

generator sdk {
  language   = "csharp"
  output     = "../Generated"
  namespace  = "Contoso.Events"
  clientName = "EventsClient"
}

Reference the packages:

<PackageReference Include="Repost.Client" Version="1.0.0" />
<PackageReference Include="Repost.Client.MSBuild" Version="1.0.0" PrivateAssets="all" />

dotnet build (or a full msbuild.exe build) validates the schema, writes the generated client to Generated/ (committed or gitignored — your choice), and compiles it. A second build with unchanged schema and engine is a pure incremental skip, so design-time builds in Visual Studio no-op instantly.

Configuration

Property / item Default Meaning
RepostSchemaFile repost/schema.repost when it exists Single-schema fast path.
RepostSchemaGeneratorName sdk Schema generator to run.
RepostSchemaOutputDir $(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\Generated Generated tree root.
RepostSchemaControlDir obj/repost/ Request record + incremental stamp (intermediate state).
RepostSchemaEnginePath (unset) Explicit engine executable; wins over everything else.
RepostSchema item (from RepostSchemaFile) Multi-schema support; metadata GeneratorName, OutputDir, ControlDir.
RepostSchemaEnvironmentInput item (empty) NAME=value entries feeding schema env("NAME") references.

The schema engine

The package carries the five native repost-schema engines (linux-x64, linux-arm64, osx-x64, osx-arm64, win-x64) plus a pack-time–generated SHA-256 checksum manifest. Before every execution the task re-hashes the resolved binary and compares it against that pinned manifest; a mismatch is a hard build error and the engine never runs. Release packs embed the binaries at pack time from REPOST_ENGINE_DIST (<dist>/<rid>/repost-schema[.exe]).

Engine resolution order:

  1. RepostSchemaEnginePath MSBuild property,
  2. REPOST_SCHEMA_ENGINE environment variable (same override the Go CLI honors),
  3. the packaged tools/<rid> engine (checksum-verified).

Explicit and environment-resolved engines are developer-controlled and run unverified. The regeneration marker embedded in generated files is dotnet build, and the generated tree is byte-identical to what the repost schema generate CLI would produce, so the MSBuild and committed-code (CLI) flows are interchangeable.

Regeneration control: Generated/ is included via a glob, so deleting it and rebuilding regenerates; the stamp file under obj/repost/ records the last successful generation (obj/repost/request-<generator>.json is the exact protocol request, kept for debugging).
