Providing Binary Logs

MSBuild Binary Logs

MSBuild has the ability to capture a detailed binary log file. If you are having a build issue and are able to provide a binary log, this will be very helpful for us to investigate the issue.

However, you should be aware of the type of information captured in the binary log to make sure you are not inadvertently sharing more than you intend. The binary log captures pretty much everything your build does, including the contents of your project files and any files (such as .props and .targets) that they import, all tasks that are run during the build as well as the input and output, as well as all environment variables. It generally won't include the contents of the source files that are compiled, but it will capture their full names and paths.

⚠ NOTE: some build environments make secrets available via environment variables. Before sharing a binary log, make sure it does not expose API tokens or other important secrets.

You can create a binary log by passing the /bl parameter to M

Reference Assembly NuGet packages

Reference Assembly NuGet packages

Scenarios

  • Build a project which is multi-targeted to .NET Core or .NET Standard as well as .NET Framework on Mac OS or Linux using the .NET CLI
  • Build a project targeting Mono (which uses the same Target Framework Identifier as .NET Framework) using the .NET CLI

Design

  • There will be separate NuGet packages with reference assemblies for each version of .NET Framework. This means that projects targeting a single version of .NET Framework don't need to download and spend disk space on the reference assemblies and intellisense files for all the other possible versions of .NET Framework. It also means that when a new version of .NET Framework is released, the reference assemblies for the previous versions don't need to be re-shipped in an updated package along with the new assemblies.

Below are the links from my lightning talk at .NET Unboxed on "How to be more inclusive in tech". I also gave this talk at .NET Fringe 2016, and the recording is now available (unfortunately due to technical difficulties I had to go without my slides).

"Regardless of gender, all of us have been sexist before and will probably be again, as sexism, like racism, is unconscious and related to the values we internalize in our societies growing up. If someone tells you you are being sexist or racist, it is not a slur against your character, but an opportunity to learn more about yourself and others. We should all be interested in continuing to read, learn and share with those around us." - Leigh Alexander

Miguel de Icaza answers questions on the .NET Foundation, Moonlight, and OSS licensing

Miguel de Icaza answers questions on the .NET Foundation, Moonlight, and OSS licensing

Source: .NET Community & Open Source discussion at Build 2014.

Q: What would the .NET Foundation look like if it’s successful in one or two years?

Miguel: I think that what we want is to energize the existing .NET community. So there’s a lot of .NET developers. We want to talk about things, we want to energize them. We want to create a very healthy ecosystem around the .NET platform, and Mono of course, of software that people use.
