Top 11 C# Build Automation Projects

  • MSBuild

    The Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild) is the build platform for .NET and Visual Studio.

    Project mention: Sharing Saturday #459 | reddit.com/r/roguelikedev | 2023-03-24

    I did get confirmation that the actual kill has been postponed to .Net 9.0 rather than .Net 8.0 . However, that PR is factually wrong regarding when System.Runtime.Serialization use became opt-in -- I had to counter-adjust Rogue Survivor Revived to opt into using System.Runtime.Serialization for .Net 7.0, last November i.e. Nov 2022.

  • Cake

    :cake: Cake (C# Make) is a cross platform build automation system.

    Project mention: Unpopular opinion: CI/CD engines are an awful idea | reddit.com/r/devops | 2023-02-04

    This is why 90-99% of our builds are done with Cake. It isolates all of it and you can run the build locally if you want.

  • Textrude

    Code generation from YAML/JSON/CSV models via SCRIBAN templates

    Project mention: Is there a source generator that generates poco classes from a JSON schema? | reddit.com/r/csharp | 2022-06-11

    Fair point - source generators can run arbitrary code so yes, they can read a json file and then spit out something else in response. If you want to translate the json schema into the equivalent C# you'll need to write a small amount of code to deserialize the json into a JObject tree, walk it, and emit c# code. I do something similar in my Textrude code-generation/templating project except I'm translating the tree into an equivalent Scriban object tree. The relevant source code is here. All that said, this is a fairly specialised and common task - I can't believe there's not a command line tool to do this already.
