Run dotnet build on all projects in your folder hierarchy

info.md

CMD+Shift+ in VSCode to run build task. If not configured VSCode will prompt you to choose a build system, choose CoreCLR, then paste the above json in.

This works on the Nancy code base where the folder structure is:

.
./src/Nancy/
./src/Nancy.Validation.FluentValidation/
./samples/Nancy.Demo.Hosting.Kestrel/
./tests/Nancy.Tests/

tasks.json

{
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "command": "bash",
    "isShellCommand": true,
    "showOutput": "always",
    "args": [
        "-c"
    ],
    "options": {
        "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}"
    },
    "tasks": [{
        "taskName": "my command",
        "suppressTaskName": true,
        "isBuildCommand": true,
        "args": [
            "ls ./**/**/project.json | xargs dotnet build"
        ]
    }]
}

Since dotnet build supports globs you can just do 'dotnet build **/project.json' :-)

Thanks
