.NET Execute Cloud Native Buildpack

The .NET Execute CNB sets the start command for a given .Net Core application once it has been built by preceding buildpacks.

Integration

The .NET Execute CNB completes the setup of a .Net Core application built using a sequence of CNBs. As such, it will be the only non-optional CNB in that sequence and is not explicitly required by any CNB that precedes it.

It provides dotnet-execute as a dependency, but currently there's no scenario we can imagine that you would use a downstream buildpack to require this dependency. If a user likes to include some other functionality, it can be done independent of the .NET Execute CNB without requiring a dependency of it.

To package this buildpack for consumption:

$ ./scripts/package.sh

This builds the buildpack's source using GOOS=linux by default. You can supply another value as the first argument to package.sh.

Specifying a project path

To specify a project subdirectory (i.e. the directory containing your .csproj/.fsproj/.vbproj file), please use the BP_DOTNET_PROJECT_PATH environment variable at build time either directly (e.g. pack build my-app --env BP_DOTNET_PROJECT_PATH=./src/my-app) or through a project.toml file. This configuration does not apply to FDD, FDE or Self-Contained app deployments.
