# Build
To build the vscode-mssql Service Layer, the most straight-forward way is open the source project
(./src/Microsoft.SqlTools.ServiceLayer/ folder), restore the project's NuGet dependencies (which
is done automatically in Visual Studio), and run the build task in VSCode or Visual Studio
(<kbd>Ctrl</kbd><kbd>Shift</kbd><kbd>B</kbd>). This will compile the code and drop everything in
the ./bin/ folder off of the root of the project. This is the most simple way and will produce the
dll files you can run using the `dotnet` command.
If you need to do something special, read on for details about Cake.
# Cake
In addition to the standard build process, we have added a much more robust build system for
performing complicated build processes that require more than just compiling the code. As such
Cake ([cakebuild.net](http://www.cakebuild.net/)) was selected for the task. Running cake is only
necessary in the following scenarios
* Regenerating resource files after adding a new string
* Packaging the Service Layer into a NuGet package
## Cake Prerequisites
Cake requires Mono to be installed on non-Windows machines as Cake is not built using .NET Core (yet).
## Cake Usage
Run `build.(cmd|ps1|sh)` with the desired set of arguments (see below for options).
The build script itself is `build.cake`, written in Cake's C#-like DSL using the Cake build automation system.
## Arguments
### Primary
`-target=TargetName`: The name of the build task/target to execute (see below for listing and details).
Defaults to `Default`.
`-configuration=(Release|Debug)`: The configuration to build.
Defaults to `Release`.
### Extra
`-test-configuration=(Release|Debug)`: The configuration to use for the unit tests.
Defaults to `Debug`.
`-install-path=Path`: Path used for the **Install** target.
Defaults to `(%USERPROFILE%|$HOME)/.sqltoolsservice/local`
`-archive`: Enable the generation of publishable archives after a build.
## Targets
**Default**: Alias for Local.
**Local**: Full build including testing for the machine-local runtime.
**All**: Same as local, but targeting all runtimes selected by `PopulateRuntimes` in `build.cake`.
Currently configured to also build for a 32-bit Windows runtime on Windows machines.
No additional runtimes are currently selected on non-Windows machines.
**Quick**: Local build which skips all testing.
**Install**: Same as quick, but installs the generated binaries into `install-path`.
**SetPackageVersions**: Updates the dependency versions found within `project.json` files using information from `depversion.json`.
Used for maintainence within the project, not needed for end-users. More information below.
**SRGen**: Generates a new version of the `sr.resx`, `sr.cs`, and `sr.designer.cs` files that contain
the string resources defined in `sr.strings`. Run this after adding a new string to `sr.strings`
## Common Issues
### Can't download all Nuget packages (Underlying connection was closed)
If you're having issues installing all of the Nuget packages from the `build.(cmd|ps1|sh)` it may be because TLS 1.2 is disabled on your machine. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20445638/nuget-fails-the-underlying-connection-was-closed-an-unexpected-error-occurred for more details and ways to fix it.
## Cake Configuration files
### build.json
A number of build-related options, including folder names for different entities. Interesting options:
**DotNetInstallScriptURL**: The URL where the .NET SDK install script is located.
Can be used to pin to a specific script version, if a breaking change occurs.
**"DotNetChannel"**: The .NET SDK channel used for retreiving the tools.
**"DotNetVersion"**: The .NET SDK version used for the build. Can be used to pin to a specific version.
Using the string `Latest` will retrieve the latest version.
### depversion.json
A listing of all dependencies (and their desired versions) used by `project.json` files throughout the project.
Allows for quick and automatic updates to the dependency version numbers using the **SetPackageVersions** target.
## Artifacts Generated From Cake
* Binaries of Microsoft.SqlTools.ServiceLayer and its libraries built for the local machine in `artifacts/publish/Microsoft.SqlTools.ServiceLayer/default/{framework}/`
* Scripts to run Microsoft.SqlTools.ServiceLayer at `scripts/SQLTOOLSSERVICE(.Core)(.cmd)`
* These scripts are updated for every build and every install.
* The scripts point to the installed binary after and install, otherwise just the build folder (reset if a new build occurs without an install).
* Binaries of Microsoft.SqlTools.ServiceLayer and its libraries cross-compiled for other runtimes (if selected in **PopulateRuntimes**) `artifacts/publish/Microsoft.SqlTools.ServiceLayer/{runtime}/{framework}/`
* Test logs in `artifacts/logs`
* Archived binaries in `artifacts/package` (only if `-archive` used on command line)
