TALXIS.DevKit.Build.Dataverse.Solution

MSBuild integration for building complete Dataverse solutions. Orchestrates the entire solution build pipeline: discovers and builds referenced Plugin, WorkflowActivity, ScriptLibrary, and PCF projects; patches solution XML with version, publisher, and managed state; runs the PAC solution packager to produce a .zip file; and supports dotnet pack to generate a NuGet package containing the solution zip.

Installation

<PackageReference Include="TALXIS.DevKit.Build.Dataverse.Solution" Version="0.0.0.1" PrivateAssets="All" />

Or use the SDK approach:

<Project Sdk="TALXIS.DevKit.Build.Sdk/0.0.0.1">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <ProjectType>Solution</ProjectType>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

How It Works

The package sets ProjectType to Solution and imports Microsoft.PowerApps.MSBuild.Solution targets. The build pipeline executes in the following order:

1. Component discovery

ProbePluginLibraries, ProbeScriptLibraries, and ProbeWorkflowActivityLibraries call GetProjectType on all ProjectReference items to classify them by component type.

2. Component builds

BuildPluginLibraries, BuildScriptLibraries, and BuildWorkflowActivityLibraries compile each referenced component project before CopyCdsSolutionContent.

3. Component metadata generation

  • Plugin assemblies -- EnsurePluginAssemblyDataXml generates .data.xml files under PluginAssemblies/.
  • Workflow activities -- EnsureWorkflowActivityAssemblyDataXml generates .data.xml for workflow activity assemblies.
  • Script libraries -- CopyScriptLibrariesToWebResources resolves web resource names with the publisher prefix, generates .data.xml, and registers root components in Solution.xml.

4. Solution XML patching

PatchSolutionXml writes Version, Managed, PublisherName, and PublisherPrefix into Solution.xml.

5. PAC override and versioning

ProcessCdsProjectReferencesOutputs replaces the Microsoft default to filter ScriptLibrary and WorkflowActivity references from PAC processing. Then GenerateVersionNumber and ApplyVersionNumber patch the version across all solution metadata.

6. Solution packaging

PackDataverseSolution invokes the PAC solution packager to produce the output .zip.

7. NuGet packing

dotnet pack produces a .nupkg with the solution .zip under content/solution/.
