3 days ago Note: I digged up some old code which was referenced on some other issues and tried to implement a custom interactive mode similar. But the build log seems to be locked by the current process when I launch the second build.
public class InteractiveBuildAttribute : BuildExtensionAttributeBase, IOnBuildInitialized
{
public void OnBuildInitialized(
IReadOnlyCollection<ExecutableTarget> executableTargets,
IReadOnlyCollection<ExecutableTarget> executionPlan)
{
if (!Build.Help && executionPlan.Count == 0 && NukeBuild.Host is Terminal)
{
Log.Information("No target specified, please select the target you want to run:");
foreach (var target in executableTargets.Where(x => x.Listed))
{
Log.Information("{TargetName}", target.Name);
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(target.Description))
{
Log.Information(" {Description}", target.Description);
}
}
var defaultTarget = nameof(MySharedNukeBuild.Compile);
Log.Information(
"Type the name of the target you want to execute and hit [ENTER] (default: {DefaultTarget})",
defaultTarget);
Console.Write("> ");
var selectedTarget = Console.ReadLine();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(selectedTarget))
{
selectedTarget = defaultTarget;
}
else if (!executableTargets.Any(t => selectedTarget.EqualsOrdinalIgnoreCase(t.Name)))
{
Log.Error("Unknown target '{SelectedTarget}' specified, exiting", selectedTarget);
Environment.Exit(1);
}
Log.Information("Starting target {SelectedTarget}", selectedTarget);
var assembly = Assembly.GetEntryAssembly()!.Location;
var exitCode = 0;
DotNetTasks.DotNet($"{assembly} -- --nologo --target {selectedTarget}",
logInvocation: false,
exitHandler: p => exitCode = p.ExitCode);
Environment.Exit(exitCode);
}
}
}
// HandleHelpRequests has Priority 5, we want to be before it
[InteractiveBuild(Priority = 7)]
public class MySharedNukeBuild;17:20:04 [DBG] The process cannot access the file 'D:\my-project\.nuke\temp\build.log' because it is being used by another process.Even though it would still be great to have this built-in I'd be fine with implementing it myself via BuildExtensionAttributeBase. Any hints in how to avoid resource locks with multiple Nuke processes would be awesome.

Description
Nuke is great and very flexible when it comes to CLI usage and is very flexible in the usage from CI/CD systems. What I am missing a bit, is a modern user experience when developers use the "_build" project locally.
If the project/build is started without any input, and we detect a "Terminal" host, we enter an interactive mode to ask the user what to do. e.g. we have 5 different entry points to our build depending on what you want to do.
Usage Example
When I launch the "_build.exe" (or dotnet run) Nuke should prompt the user:
Then it starts the respective target just as if
nuke --target PrepareEnvironmentis called. The way of asking could be either fully interactive like very modern console apps, or simply asking for the user to type it.Alternative
I thought of making some unlisted target "interactive" the default one. Then I do any console interactivity myself (by loading the targets and stuff myself).
After the user has chosen the target, I would launch the target.
a) I cannot directly trigger another target within the same process. But it would be nice if I can have a dynamic "Triggers" in this target. b) I trigger the target via
DotNetTasks.DotNetRun(<current assembly, target and parameters>)Could you help with a pull-request?
Yes
