The SeaLights .NET agent can scan the binaries after the build process to gather the build structure.
Generating a session ID
Before running the build scan and tests, you need to create a session ID. The session ID is provided for each step in order to link them together as one complete cycle
SL.DotNet.exe config --appName "myApp" --branchName "master" --buildName $(Get-Date -Format "yyyyMMdd_HHmm") --includeNamespace myNameSpace.* --buildSessionIdFile buildSessionId.txtAs a buildName you can use also the Version generated on the application’s executables (DLL or EXE) via the following command (Get-Command "c:\path\to\binaries").FileVersionInfo.FileVersionRaw.ToString()
Scanning the binaries
Run the scan of your binaries using the SeaLights agent with the following command:
SL.DotNet.exe scan --buildSessionIdFile buildSessionId.txt --workspacePath c:\path\to\binaries --ignoreGeneratedCode trueThe workspacePath folder must contain all the project’s PDB files.
As SeaLights is using the compilation method's bytecode signature (Hash ID) to generate a unique identifier for each method, it is important NOT to recompile the application between the scan command and the deployment. The scanned build's artefact (DLL, EXE) MUST be from the exact same compilation as the one deployed.
