DomBrosBuildTools

Common DomBros build scripts based on PSDepend, PSake and AppVeyor

Using build tools in a new repository

1. Create a repository with single Powershell module (YourModuleName) and following structure:

Build <-- submodule (see point 2)
YourModuleName
  YourModuleName.psd1
  YourModuleName.psm1
  ...
Tests <-- optional, put your Pester tests here

2. Add a git submodule in folder Build pointing to DomBrosBuildTools repository (https://github.com/DomBros/DomBrosBuildTools.git).
3. Create a new AppVeyor project pointing to your repository and change following settings:
   • Build version format -> change it from 1.0.0.{build} to {build}
   • Custom configuration .yml file name -> put https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DomBros/DomBrosBuildTools/master/appveyor.yml
4. That's it, every commit to your repository will trigger a build that packages your module and runs tests and static code analysis. When you create a tag, it will also be published to Powershell Gallery (with version = tag name).
5. Remember to check Include tags during push (after tagging) and 'Recursive' during first pull.

If you have any issues, look at a working example at DomBrosTools repository.
