AutoRest is developed primarily in C# but generates code for multiple languages. To build and test AutoRest requires a few things be installed locally.
Install the Microsoft Build Tools or get them with Visual Studio. Ensure that msbuild is in your path by running vcvarsall.bat
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat
To compile the code in Visual Studio IDE,
- Ensure you are using Visual Studio 2015
- Ensure "Nuget Package Manager For Visual Studio" is updated to a newer version, like "2.8.60723.765", which is needed to install xunit.
- Install Task Runner Explorer to run gulp tasks such as synchonize nuget version, assembly info, etc.
Install DNVM using these steps and configure DNX 1.0.0-rc1.
Install Mono 4.3.0 (MonoFramework-MDK-4.3.0.372.macos10.xamarin.x86.pkg)
Install DNVM using these steps.
Install the latest from nodejs.org. Then from the project root run npm install
.
Install the latest Java SE Development Kit from Java SE Downloads.
Ensure that the JDK binaries are in your PATH
.
set PATH=PATH;C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.8.0_45\bin
Ensure that your environment includes the JAVA_HOME
.
set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\java\jdk1.8.0_45
Install the latest Android environment from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. You can either install Android Studio if you want to do actual development work in Android, or simply install the SDK tools that is minimally requried to build the Android code.
In SDK Manager, make sure that build tools >23.0.1, Android Support Repository, and Google Repository are installed. Make sure ANDROID_HOME is in your environment variable. If you installed Android Studio, you can find it out from Android Studio settings. If you installed SDK tools, its default location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk
on Windows.
Install the Gradle build system
from Gradle downloads.
Ensure Gradle is in your PATH
.
set PATH=PATH;C:\gradle-2.6\bin
Ensure that your environment includes the GRADLE_HOME
.
set GRADLE_HOME=C:\gradle-2.6
You may want a Java IDE.
- Install Jetbrains IntelliJ IDEA from JetBrains downloads OR
- Install
Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developer
from Eclipse downloads
RubyInstaller version 2+ - 32-bit version.
By default, Ruby installs to C:\Ruby21 or Ruby22, etc. Ensure that C:\Ruby21\bin is in your PATH
.
set PATH=PATH;C:\Ruby21\bin
RubyDevKit 32-bit version for use with Ruby 2.0 and above The DevKit installer just unpacks files. Navigate to the directory and run the following:
ruby dk.rb init
ruby dk.rb install
gem install bundler
Install Python 2.7 and Python 3.5, and add one of them to your PATH (we recommend 3.5).
set PATH=PATH;C:\Python35
There are 2 solutions used to build C# ClientRuntime and AutoRest code generator. AutoRest.sln is used to build AutoRest code generator. ClientRuntime.sln is used to build C# ClientRuntime.
###Command Line We use gulp and msbuild / xbuild to handle the builds. Install for global use with
npm install gulp -g gulp
If you would like to see what commands are available to you, run gulp -T
. That will list all of the gulp tasks you can run. By default, just running gulp
will run a build that will execute clean, build, code analysis, package and test.

Prior to executing gulp
to build and then test the code, make sure that the latest tools are setup for your build environment.
gulp test
