Overview¶
The Virto Commerce Global Tool (vc-build) is the official CLI .NET Core GlobalTool that helps you:
- Build, test and deploy releases.
- Create and push NuGet packages.
- Provide package management for projects based on VirtoCommerce.
- Automate common DevOps tasks.
It is powered by nuke.build - a cross-platform build automation system with C# DSL, that provides an approach to embrace existing IDE tooling and state where everyone in a team can manage and change the build scenarios. This allows writing build scenarios in C# and debugging them in Visual Studio. Also, along with cross-platform support, it was the best choice for us to build our own build automation solution on top of this project.
Key features¶
-
- Build and bundle a module project (both managed and scripted parts).
- Discover and run all the unit tests from the solution.
- Create and publish NuGet packages for projects from your solution, this can be helpful if you intend to re-use a module's logic in another project, you will be able to quickly publish the needed version as a NuGet package. In the private or public NuGet registry.
- Include targets that allow performing various additional quality checks such as static code analysis (currently we support out-of-the-box integration with SonarCloud).
-
- Install, update, and uninstall modules.
- Install and update platform application.
- Prepare backend package with specific versions of the platform and modules from the manifest file.
-
Platform cold start optimization and data migration (WIP):
- Platform start optimization (slow run on Azure case).
-
Grab migrator utility quickstart:
- Get idempotent SQL scripts for all modules EF migrations with the ability to apply them in a specific order without installed platform and source code.
