Automatron 0.0.0-alpha.7

Automatron

The Automatron Platform is a collection of .NET libraries to help .Net Developers create automation workloads in the in the same language as your .Net applications

Platform support: .NET 6.0 and later.

Tasks

The Automatron.Tasks .NET library is a task automation system that enables you to write task based workflows as .Net methods

Tasks can be are defined as void/async methods on one or many classes

Inheritance and interfaces are supported as well

Tasks Quick start

• Create a .NET console app named Sample and add a reference to Automatron.Tasks.
• Replace the contents in Program.cs with:

using Automatron.Tasks;
using Automatron.Tasks.Annotations;

return await new TaskRunner().RunAsync(args);

namespace Sample;

public class Build
{
    [Task(Default = true)]
    public void Default()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
    }

    [Task]
    public void Build()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Building my app");
    }
}

• Run the app. E.g. dotnet run or F5 in Visual Studio:

Tasks can be run via cmd arguments dotnet run -- Build

Tasks Dependencies

Dependencies are expression via the attributes

• DependentOn
• DependentFor

using Automatron.Tasks;
using Automatron.Tasks.Annotations;

return await new TaskRunner().RunAsync(args);

namespace Sample;

public class Build
{
    [Task(Default = true)]
    [DependentOn(nameof(Build))]
    public void Default()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!");
    }

    [Task]
    public void Build()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Building my app");
    }
}

Tasks Parameters

AzureDevOps

The Automatron.AzureDevOps .NET library enables you to write AzureDevOps workflows as .Net methods

Automatron.AzureDevOps also generates the AzureDevOps pipeline yaml evry time the project is compiled.

Steps can be are defined as void/async methods on one or many job classes

Inheritance and interfaces are supported as well

AzureDevOps Quick start

The project needs to be in git repository to able to compute paths correctly or have the RootDir property set

using System.Reflection;
using Automatron.AzureDevOps;
using Automatron.AzureDevOps.Annotations;
using Automatron.AzureDevOps.Tasks;

return await new AzureDevOpsRunner().RunAsync(args);

[Pipeline("Ci")]
[CiTrigger(Batch = true, IncludeBranches = new[] { "main" }, IncludePaths = new[] { "src" })]
[Pool(VmImage = "ubuntu-latest")]
[Stage]
[Job]
public class Pipeline
{
    [Step(Emoji = "🏗"]
    public async Task Build()
    {
    }

    [Step(Emoji = "🧪", DependsOn = new[] { nameof(Build) })]
    public async Task Test()
    {
    }

    [Step(Emoji = "📦", DependsOn = new[] { nameof(Test) })]
    public async Task Pack()
    {
    }
}

Pipelines, Stage, Jobs, Steps can be run via cmd arguments dotnet run -- Ci

AzureDevOps Variables

Variables can mapped as properties

using System.Reflection;
using Automatron.AzureDevOps;
using Automatron.AzureDevOps.Annotations;
using Automatron.AzureDevOps.Tasks;

return await new AzureDevOpsRunner().RunAsync(args);

[Pipeline("Ci")]
[CiTrigger(Batch = true, IncludeBranches = new[] { "main" }, IncludePaths = new[] { "src" })]
[Pool(VmImage = "ubuntu-latest")]
[VariableGroup("nuget")]
[Stage]
[Job]
public class Pipeline
{
    [Variable(Description = "The nuget api key")]
    public Secret? NugetApiKey { get; set; }

    [Step(Emoji = "🏗"]
    public async Task Build()
    {
    }

    [Step(Emoji = "🧪", DependsOn = new[] { nameof(Build) })]
    public async Task Test()
    {
    }

    [Step(Emoji = "📦", DependsOn = new[] { nameof(Test) })]
    public async Task Pack()
    {
    }
}
