CI/CD automation for the stevedunn/stringlytyped project is not yet set up. Here are some next steps to implement CI/CD for this C# project:

1. Choose a CI/CD Tool: Select a CI/CD platform that fits your needs. Popular options include GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, and CircleCI.

2. Create Configuration Files: Configuration files are needed to define the CI/CD pipeline. Depending on the chosen tool, these files will specify the build and test commands.

3. Set Up Build Scripts: These scripts will run the build process. For a .NET project, use dotnet build.

4. Set Up Test Scripts: Implement scripts to run tests using the .NET test runner.

5. Deployment Configuration: If applicable, implement deployment steps in your CI/CD pipeline to automate deployment to production or staging environments.

Example of Potential CI/CD Pipelines

GitHub Actions Example

Create a file named .github/workflows/dotnet.yml:

name: .NET Build and Test

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  pull_request:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - name: Checkout code
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: Setup .NET
      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
      with:
        dotnet-version: '5.0.x'

    - name: Restore dependencies
      run: dotnet restore ./StringlyTyped.sln

    - name: Build
      run: dotnet build ./StringlyTyped.sln --configuration Release --no-restore

    - name: Run tests
      run: dotnet test ./tests/StringlyTyped.SmallTests/StringlyTyped.SmallTests.csproj --no-build --verbosity normal

Azure DevOps Example

Create a file named azure-pipelines.yml:

trigger:
- main

pool:
  vmImage: 'windows-latest'

steps:
- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  inputs:
    command: 'restore'
    projects: '**/*.csproj'

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  inputs:
    command: 'build'
    projects: '**/*.csproj'
    arguments: '--configuration Release'

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  inputs:
    command: 'test'
    projects: '**/*.csproj'
    arguments: '--configuration Release'

Testing Integration

Testing is crucial in your CI/CD process. This can be accomplished by integrating test commands into your build scripts. The following command should be part of your CI/CD pipeline:

dotnet test ./tests/StringlyTyped.SmallTests/StringlyTyped.SmallTests.csproj

This will ensure that all tests are run during the CI/CD process, which helps in identifying issues early in the development cycle.

Additional Considerations

• Notifications: Consider adding notifications in your CI/CD setup to alert developers on build/test failures or successes.
• Artifacts: If necessary, configure your pipeline to produce artifacts, such as NuGet packages, that can be consumed in deployments.
• Code Quality Tools: Implement tools for code quality checks, such as SonarCloud, integrated into your pipeline for improved code standards.

By following these steps and utilizing the provided examples, a CI/CD automation pipeline can be effectively established in support of the stevedunn/stringlytyped project.
