I want to test how my tools generated files and folders in the destination with different arguments passed to the program. However, in my old code, I put all the logic of working with arguments in the static int main( string[] args) function. I could not use Interface and Dependency injection to mock the CLI tools because CommandLineUtils does not have an interface library. Luckily, I found this guidance from the owner of CommandLineUtils, and he advised that "Split the command-line argument parser and application execution into separate class structures" to test various options programmatically. It is a great suggestion, and I rewrote my program by adding class CommandLineOptions and adding logic to class Generator to make it works with CommandLineOptions. I can kill two birds with one stone by this change: code refactoring and writing better tests. Another problem I had was my folder structure. Before, I put the project's sln file, .git file , and src files in the root of the folder. However, when I added a new test project for Shinny-SSG, I had it outside my git folder, and it would be impossible to commit the change and put it in my remote repository. To resolve this, I had to change my folder structure to this:

Alternatively, instead of using a type provider (which isn't simple by any means), you can use any number of CSV or INI parsers, e.g. https://joshclose.github.io/CsvHelper/ or https://github.com/rickyah/ini-parser

Project mention: Library for Filtering/Sorting/Pagination Microsoft Style | reddit.com/r/dotnet | 2021-03-30

Project mention: Is it just me or most of these "popular" template on github just doesn't really make sense to me? | reddit.com/r/dotnet | 2021-11-21Also a big fan of VSA myself. I actually made a scaffolding tool for it if you haven’t seen it yet OP. About to have a new release with .NET 6 and many many updates and cleanup up, just waiting for a package to catch up. It’s still pre v1 with some gaps to fill but it is a good starting point
