GitVersion

GitVersion copied to clipboard

With the advent of the common GitVersion.Core library, it would be prudent to refactor it further so that it has a nice interface for C# developers; i.e. classes and methods that can be called directly, as with any other library, thereby bypassing shellout interop - command-line input / output parsing - and all the ugliness that entails.

Example ugliness that I've seen, the Cake build fails with:

Re-run with diagnostic verbosity to find the real cause (across the interop boundary):

In this case "remote authentication required but no callback set".

Yes, such a refactor would bring us in the direction of a complete Core without any reliance on LibGit2Sharp and an in-memory object model that will serve GitVersion's needs much better (and faster) than Git's.

The code and discussion in #1243 and #1244 is worth a look.

@asbjornu thanks for the info! I think this is conflating the two interop boundaries though.

My thoughts with this issue are related to the "external" interop boundary; i.e. from Cake script / C# client to the GitVersion library itself, currently using command-line / shellout interop.

The "internal" interop boundary from GitVersion to LibGit2Sharp (and git) is an implementation detail and not really relevant, but happens to also use command-line / shellout interop.

In a Multitier Architecture, I would agree, but since we're talking about a "Core" here, Hexagonal Architecture or Onion Architecture is imho a better way to view the application.

In that case, all concerns that aren't a part of the Core (which should be 100% dependency free and contain nothing but idiomatic C# code) are a part of the "infrastructure" or "UI" layer of the application, external to the Core. The only difference is whether we are doing an inbound (requests, input, deserialization) or outbound mapping (response, output, serialization) of the Core domain.

While I agree that inbound and outband mapping are different concerns, I don't think it's possible to implement one without the other once we delete all external dependencies from the Core.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. After 30 days from now, it will be closed if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.

Please see #2262 and #2275 for how we are planning to solve this over time. We probably won't achieve a dependency-free Core in 6.0.0, but over the course of version 6, we should be able to achieve it with the coming refactoring, project split and new CLI.
