If you try to run from the command line in the top directory of a solution made with visual studio:
dotnet build
My solution is architectured like that:
MySolution.sln
> src
> MyProject1
> project.json
> MyProject2
> project.json
> test
> MyProject.Test
> project.json
it will fail with the following error:
Couldn't find 'project.json' in current directory
How could I build the solution without having to specify each project explicitely (and then without the related maintenance) ?
You can use wildcards like that from the top directory (where lies the .sln).
With the project.json
in SolutionDir/Src/ProjectName
:
dotnet build */**/project.json
If project.json
in SolutionDir/ProjectName
:
dotnet build **/project.json
Note: It's recommended to migrate to new csproj project format to get support and new features.
The solution is back for good.
dotnet build solution.sln
In powershell, build all csproj file under the current directory.
foreach ($csproj in $(Get-ChildItem -Recurse . -Filter *.csproj) )
{
dotnet build $csproj.FullName
}
