ramblings on C#

agh, all of this stuff kinda sucks.

installing stuff you’ll need

• install the dotnet-sdk and the dotnet-runtime. and mono.
• mono is great and does all things .NET-related that MS didn’t bother to include.

compiling stuff built for .NET

• install mono and msbuild-stable from the AUR. (msbuild-bin works too!)
• use msbuild.
• ???
• profit!

getting VS Code working with the C# stuffs

• install omnisharp-roslyn from the AUR.
• install the C# extension.
• screw around with build tasks to get it to build.
• ???
• profit!

getting unit tests working

this took one hour :(

• clone vstest.
• run ./build.sh. wait a lot.
• run $ mono /path/to/vstest/artifacts/Debug/net451/ubuntu.16.04-x64/vstest.console.exe /path/to/tests.dll, where tests.dll is probably in the bin folder of one of your projects.
• ???
• profit!

ALTERNATIVELY take this pre-compiled copy, it’s dangerous to go alone
