Support for PowerShell Core #80
Comments
I haven't had a chance to try this with PS Core. I would love to support it, any chance you can help me with that? |
Sure thing. I am no PS guru, but I can do a few things. I'll try to find alternate C# calls that actually exist on .NET Core and point them out. Maybe try the first pull request of my life. |
Sweet, thanks a bunch! |
I've had a bit of trouble getting to debug PS Core with VS and the PS Add-In, but will give it a shot with VS Code, which supports debugging it. |
Ok let me know if I can help. Did u see the build script in the root? |
I did, but even the build script fails. A few system related C# calls are either missing from PS Core or have a different name. It should be fairly straight forward once I have an environment running. I just spent roughly an hour trying to familiarize myself with VS Code, first with the C++ and CMake extensions (as that is my primary interest), but the PS extension is also installed, just not yet configured. Shoud I have any sensible questions, I'll let you know. |
@MathiasMagnus thanks for the investigation. I was thinking about this yesterday (see PS below) and I can think of the following issues with the current code.
Also I think the build script itself may have some xplat issues. I think to investigate the easiest way to start is:
For xplat I'm not sure how we can figure out where msbuild is installed. I'll send an email to folks on the MSBuild team to see if I can figure that out. If you email me ([email protected]) I'll add you to that thread. For the loading of the assemblies in the gac, that is only used when PS. Coincidentally I had lunch yesterday with Jeffrey Snover (the inventor of PowerShell) and I told him that we are looking to move psbuild to support PS Core. He was happy to hear that :) |
FYI the msbuild team has posted dotnet/msbuild#1039 which should enable us to acquire the msbuild runtime. |
@MathiasMagnus I've started some work to see if we can support PowerShell core. One of the challenges is just getting the bits setup to enable dev/test on linux. I made some changes to ensure that PSBuild is now self-contained via #81. Previously it would use The MSBuild team published the msbuild assembly in the nuget package Microsoft.Build.Runtime. You can download the latest nuget package using I've also created a new branch To try out this branch in the current state:
The known work to support core looks like:

Hi! Thanks for the efforts! My resources have been slightly overallocated. I will try to contribute with actual code, as time allows. I have another build system-related contribution (batch-mode rule support for the NMake generator of CMake) where I finally pinpointed the place where I could insert the required code. |
I just came across psbuild and am very interested in it. However, having recently moved to PowerShell Core for portability reasons, I wanted to give psbuild a spin under PS Core 6.0.0.9-beta.
Trying with the self-installing script:
MSBuild now being able to build on OSX and Linux using .Net Core, it would be nice if psbuild followed the example.
