Command line UI

Open am11 opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

It would be quite handy if we could get to utilize MSBuildStructuredLog's core features via command line interface. It helps to find issues in CLI-only / base OS installations, without needing to move around log files.

Couple of options / ideas:

  1. [non-interactive] simple cli options-based app using strongly-typed model (dragonfruit API) from: https://github.com/dotnet/command-line-api, so we could express queries like "track the value changes of MyVar"
  2. [interactive] assuming it is possible to decouple the domain logic from UI in this project (to support other UI forms: cli, web in addition to wpf), the full command-line UI could be implemented using https://github.com/migueldeicaza/gui.cs to get for example, slap-like (aka sublime for cli) interface.
  3. both of the above :)
