Building

build.cmd

Testing

Each solution contains some test projects. Test projects use xUnit runner nuget package.

Tests will not run correctly unless SkipStrongNames is Enabled. Please run

build.cmd EnableSkipStrongNames

Run tests in cmd

To run end-to-end tests, you need to open an elevated - Run as administrator - command prompt

• build.cmd build projects, run unit tests, and OData end-to-end tests.

• build.cmd quick build project, and run unit tests

To disable the SkipStrongNames:

build.cmd DisableSkipStrongNames

Run tests in Visual Studio

Open the project, build it, and then test cases should appear in test explorer. If not, this is because the assemblies are delay signed and you're missing the private key so xunit will not load them in Visual Studio. To fix, please run build.cmd EnableSkipStrongNames. Run all the tests in the test explorer. For running end-to-end tests you must open the solution as Administrator. More detail at this.

Nightly builds

The nightly build process will upload a NuGet packages for WebApi to: v7.x.x: MyGet.org webapinetcore feed v6.x.x: MyGet.org webapinightly feed

To connect to webapinightly feed, use this feed URL: v7.x.x: webapinetcore MyGet feed URL v6.x.x: webapinightly MyGet feed URL
