Christmas 2014. I was building out projects on GitHub in open source. The obsession with open source even went on to spawn a Series of Blog Posts. Each tool or library I was building lead onto another tool or library to make the build pipeline, or development process better. Often…
I've been working on some new projects, so thought I would do a quick elevator pitch for each. Consolable I was having an issue with environment variables as arguments, and with PowerShell replacing "text" with text (stripping double-quotes) and how these interacted with my command line arguments. Especially…
As part of my open source development tooling investigation, I came across Coverity Scan Static Analysis. And thanks to Arkfps' post I could automate the process of submitting the results. And now Appveyor includes Coverity on it's images. But I decided to take his work one step further, and so…
It has been a pipe-dream of mine for a while to have my very own C# extensions library. Well now I do. I've been chipping away at a library on github for ages (my init commit was 15 Sep 2012!) and it is finally a real thing! I've got a…
So I've built an (almost MVP) code coverage publisher for coveralls.io from C# code, using opencover coverage results. Checkout the github repo and nuget packages if you want to use it. I'm even dogfooding it on appveyor as part of my psake build tasks. So how do you use…
As any good library should do, I'm building my BCLExtensions project(extensions for the .net base class library) using PCL (Portable class library, Profile328 to be exact). It works great on my AppVeyor CI builds, which is a great .Net windows build server. I recently discovered Travis-CI has added beta…
In my pursuit to find a build task runner for my code coverage I stumbled on this whole other side of the internet I didn't know about (from a .Net developer's perspective). I've been using AppVeyor.com for my open-source CI build, which is a great option for anyone with…
I wanted to add continuous code coverage to my little extension library project, and so realised i would need to run one of nCover, dotCover or openCover from the command line on my build server. This calls for a task based build automation library! Because I'm started to learn more…
