Development

Code formatting

This project uses StyleCop analyzers with some overrides in .editorconfig. To format, run:

dotnet format

Can also run with --verify-no-changes to ensure it is formatted.

VisualStudio Code

When developing in vscode, the following JSON settings will enable StyleCop analyzers:

    "omnisharp.enableEditorConfigSupport": true,
    "omnisharp.enableRoslynAnalyzers": true

Testing

Run:

dotnet test

Can add options like:

• --logger "console;verbosity=detailed" to show logs
• --filter "FullyQualifiedName=TemporalioSamples.Tests.ActivityWorker.ActivityWorkerTests.Main_RunActivity_Succeeds" to run a specific test
