Introduction

"FlubuCore - Fluent Builder Core" is a cross platform build and deployment automation system. You can define your build and deployment scripts in C# using an intuitive fluent interface. This gives you code completion, IntelliSense, debugging, FlubuCore custom analyzers, and native access to the whole .NET ecosystem inside of your scripts.

FlubuCore in action

FlubuCore offers a .net (core) console application that uses power of roslyn to compile and execute scripts. Above example can be run from console with:

  • FlubuCore runner (.NET 4.62+) flubu.exe Default
  • FlubuCore dotnet cli tool (.NET Core 1.0+) dotnet flubu Default
  • FlubuCore local or global tool (.NET Core 2.1+) flubu Default

Features and Advantages

  • Intuitive an easy to learn. C#, fluent interface, and IntelliSense make even most complex script creation a breeze.

    {
        var pack = context.CreateTarget("Pack")
            .SetDescription("Prepare's nuget package.")
            .AddCoreTask(x => x.Pack()
                .NoBuild()
                .OutputDirectory(OutputDirectory)
                .WithArguments("--force")); //you can add your own custom arguments on each task

        var branch = context.BuildSystems().Travis().Branch;
       
        var nugetPush = context.CreateTarget("Nuget.publish")
            .SetDescription("Publishes nuget package.")
            .DependsOn(pack)
            .AddCoreTask(x => x.NugetPush($"{OutputDirectory}/NetCoreOpenSource.nupkg")
                .ServerUrl("https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/package")
                .ApiKey(NugetApiKey)

            .When(c => c.BuildSystems().RunningOn == BuildSystemType.TravisCI

                        && branch.EndsWith("stable", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase));
    }
  • Large number of often used built-in tasks like e.g. versioning, running tests, creating deployment packages, publishing NuGet packages, docker tasks, git tasts, sql tasks, npm tasks, executing PowerShell, managing IIS scripts and many more.

Getting Started

Using FlubuCore is straightforward and very simple :-) It is also fully and throughly documented.

The Getting Started chapter in FlubuCore Documentation will help you set up your first FlubuCore build in no time. You should also check getting started blog. It has some more details with some nice tips and tricks.

A comprehensive list of features that FlubuCore has to offer with descriptions can be found in the Build Script Fundamentals chapter.

Once you have your build and deployment scripts defined, the following Wiki chapters will explain how to run them:

Examples

Aside from the detailed Wiki FlubuCore comes with example projects that reflect real-life situations. The examples can be found in the separate Examples repository.

These examples will help you to get quickly start with FlubuCore:

  • .NET Framework build example - Example covers versioning, building the project, running tests, packaging application for deployment and some other basic use cases.

  • .NET Core build example - Example covers versioning, building the project, running tests, packaging application for deployment and some other basic use cases.

  • Deployment script example - Example shows how to write simple deployment script.

  • Open source library example - Example covers versioning, building the project, running tests and publishing nuget package. It also covers how to run build script on Appveyor and Travis CI.
