Override existing options or add additional options to tasks through console

FlubuCore offers you to add or override options in all tasks that run external processes.

Let's say you have target

context.CreateTarget("Example")`
    .AddCoreTask(x => x.Build("MySolution.sln").Configuration("Release"); 

and you wan't to build solution in debug configuration. You could just write in console

flubu example --configuration=Debug

flubu would execute

dotnet build MySolution.sln --configuration Debug

Note

option keys are the same as in external processes. short versions of options keys also work. So in above example -c=debug would also work.

FlubuCore also support tab completion for all options in tasks that run's external processes in Interactive mode

Tasks in FlubuCore plugins that does not support overriding of options out of the box can still be overriden with special prefix before option key /o:

/o:{external_process_option={value}

With /o: FlubuCore adds specified option to all tasks in target's which can be a problem if target execute multiple tasks. So instead of /o: you can use prefix by task name

/{taskName}:{external_process_option}={value}

Alternatively you can change default prefix on task

    context.CreateTarget("Publish")
        AddCoreTask(x => x.Publish()
            .ChangeDefaultAdditionalOptionPrefix("/p:"));

Example

Build task does support overriding of options out of the box but for the simplicity of the example build task is used.

context.CreateTarget("Example")`
    .AddCoreTask(x => x.Build("MySolution.sln").Configuration("Release"); 

and you wan't to build solution in debug configuration. You could just write in console

flubu example /o:configuration=Debug

or flubu example /o:c=Debug

or flubu example /build:c=Debug

flubu would execute

dotnet build MySolution.sln -c Debug
