"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 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
flubu.exe Default
- FlubuCore dotnet cli tool
dotnet flubu Default
- FlubuCore global tool
flubu Default
-
Intuitive an easy to learn. C#, fluent interface, and IntelliSense make even most complex script creation a breeze.
context.CreateTarget("Example") .DependsOn(fetchBuildVersionTarget) .AddTask(x => x.CompileSolutionTask()) .AddTask(x => x.PublishNuGetPackageTask("packageId", "pathToNuspec")) .When(c => c.BuildSystems().Jenkins().IsRunningOnJenkins);
-
Large number of often used built-in tasks like e.g. running tests, managing IIS, creating deployment packages, publishing NuGet packages, docker tasks, executing PowerShell scripts and many more.
target .AddTask(x => x.CompileSolutionTask()) .AddTask(x => x.CopyFileTask(source, destination, true)) .AddTask(x => x.IisTasks() .CreateAppPoolTask("Example app pool") .Mode(CreateApplicationPoolMode.DoNothingIfExists));
-
Execute your own custom C# code.
context.CreateTarget("MyCustomBuildTarget") .AddTask(x => x.CompileSolutionTask()) .Do(MyCustomMethod) .Do(NuGetPackageReferencingExample);
-
assembly references and nuget packages are loaded automatically when script is used together with project file. When script is executed alone (for example when deploying with FlubuCore script on production environment) references can be added with attributes.
[NugetPackage("Newtonsoft.json", "11.0.2")] [Assembly(".\Lib\EntityFramework.dll")] public class BuildScript : DefaultBuildScript { public void NuGetPackageReferencingExample(ITaskContext context) { JsonConvert.SerializeObject("Example"); } }
-
Easily run any external program or console command in your script.
context.CreateTarget("Run.Libz") .AddTask(x => x.RunProgramTask(@"packages\LibZ.Tool\1.2.0\tools\libz.exe") .WorkingFolder(@".\src") .WithArguments("add") .WithArguments("--libz", "Assemblies.libz"));
public class SimpleScript : DefaultBuildScript
{
[FromArg("sn", "If true app is deployed on second node. Otherwise not.")]
public bool deployOnSecondNode { get; set; }
protected override void ConfigureTargets(ITaskContext context)
{
context.CreateTarget("compile")
.AddTask(x => x.CompileSolutionTask()
.ForMember(y => y.SolutionFileName("someSolution.sln"), "solution", "The solution to build."));
}
}
flubu.exe compile -solution=someOtherSolution.sln -sn=true
-
Extending FlubuCore fluent interface by writing your own tasks within FlubuCore plugins.
public class ExampleFlubuPluginTask : TaskBase<int, ExampleFlubuPluginTask> { protected override int DoExecute(ITaskContextInternal context) { // Write your task logic here. return 0; } }
-
Growing list of FlubuCore plugins complements built in tasks.
-
Asynchronous execution of tasks, target dependencies and custom code.
context.CreateTarget("Run.Tests") .AddTaskAsync(x => x.NUnitTaskForNunitV3("TestProjectName1")) .AddTaskAsync(x => x.NUnitTaskForNunitV3("TestProjectName1")) .AddTaskAsync(x => x.NUnitTaskForNunitV3("TestProjectName3"));
-
Full .NET Core support including the global CLI tool
dotnet tool install --global FlubuCore.GlobalTool flubu compile
-
Possibility to test and debug your build scripts.
context.WaitForDebugger();
-
Easily automate deployments remotely via the FlubuCore Web API.
-
Possibility to use FlubuCore tasks in any other .NET application.
-
Improved developer experience with FlubuCore custom analyzers.
Using FlubuCore is straightforward and very simple :-) It is also fully and throughly documented.
The Getting Started chapter on FlubuCore Wiki will help you set up your first FlubuCore build in no time.
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:
- For .NET Framework projects use FlubuCore.Runner
- For .NET Core projects use FlubuCore CLI global tool
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:
Please see CONTRIBUTING.md.
- Spread the word about the project.
- If you like the project don't forget to give it a star so that the community get's bigger.
- Improve documentation.
- Report, fix a bug.
- Implement a new feature.
- Discuss potential ways to improve project.
- Improve existing implementation, performance, etc.
Changes with description and examples can be found in Changelog
You can see FlubuCore roadmap by exploring opened milestones.
