Resource/Provider

###dotnet Used for restoring package dependencies, compilation, and running your application.

dotnet 'test' do
  action :run
  nuget_config_file "#{app_dir}/NuGet.Config"
  path app_dir
  user 'root'
  cwd app_dir
end

By default, the dotnet resource will restore nuget packages from the nuget_config_file parameter. If no parameter is given, the current directory is used from cwd. This can be overidden by adding restore false as an additional parameter.

Additionaly, dotnet restore can be run on it's own by using action :restore as a parameter with the dotnet resource.

dotnet 'test' do
  action :restore
  nuget_config_file "#{app_dir}/NuGet.Config"
  user 'root'
  cwd app_dir
end

Development

This cookbook uses test-kitchen and Serverspec/RSpec with the Vagrant driver. For local Windows testing, please follow this blog post to create and add a local Vagrant Windows (Server 2012 R2) box.
