Built artifacts?

[ndw]

Hello,

The dotnetBuild task completes, but I don't understand the results. I'm not sure I know what correct results should be, but looking in build, I see these directories: tmp/dotnet/{obj,bin}/Debug/net5.0/ref

I expected "release" builds, not "debug" builds, given my config:

dotnet {
  dotnetExecutable = '/usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet'
  solution = 'XmlResolver/XmlResolver.sln'
  configuration = 'Release'
  verbosity = 'Normal'

  restore {
  }

  build {
    version = "3.0.1"
    packageVersion = "3.0.1"
  }  

  test {
    collectCoverage = true
    nunit {
      testOutputXml = file("${buildDir}/reports/nunit")
    }
  }
}

Also, there are no build artifacts that appear to have anything to do with my project libraries. I get several flavors of ProjectFileParser.dll but nothing else.

User error again?

hi @ndw can you try running the build by ./gradlew dotnetBuild --info and post your output? unlike ordinary gradle artifacts, normally the artifact is next to the .csproj bin/Release but not in build

if you wish to get the output path of the artifact, you could get by project.dotnet.mainProject.outputPath

[ndw]

Sure. I mean, it doesn't seem to do anything, so I suspect user error. The project I'm trying to build is https://github.com/xmlresolver/xmlresolvercs.

[ngyukman]

it is because the task is up to date already, you probably need to run the task clean first by gradlew clean dotnetBuild --info

from the project architecture, the artifact should be inside /XmlResolver/XmlResolver/bin/Release/

btw, you might want to remove version and packageVersion as the plugin is already providing the default version based on the value in gradle.properties

[ndw]

Right. I do see the artifacts now, thank you! (Is it possible to change the architecture so that all the build artifacts are under build instead of "mixed in" with the sources?)

[ngyukman]

in that case you can update the csproj's OutputPath

you could also change the OutputPath in build.gradle by

dotnet {
    build {
        OutputPath = 'build/dotnet'
    }
}

it should inject the property to dotnet build (you can check the actual command executed with --info)
