Project demonstrating basic use of Suave and Chiron running on the .NET Core runtime, including tests.

On a *nix platform with make installed, you can use the Makefile to build and clean, such as make, make check, and make clean.

Change to the SuaveChironNetcore directory and execute dotnet restore && dotnet build. This will restore any dependencies and build the main assembly.

Change to the SuaveChironNetcoreTests directory and execute dotnet restore to restore any dependencies and then dotnet test to execute the tests defined in the HNProviderTests.fs module.

Change to the SuaveChironNetcore directory and execute dotnet run, after which the HTTP services are listening on port 8083, such as http://localhost:8083/topstories.

• Using dotnet new -t xunittest currently only supports C#, but it's a useful starting point anyway. Edit the project.json for F#:

  • under buildOptions:

      "compilerName": "fsc",
      "compile": {
          "includeFiles": [
              "Tests.fs"
          ]
      }
  

  • Add tools:

    "tools": {
        "dotnet-compile-fsc": "1.0.0-preview2.1-*"
      },
  

  • Under framework/dependencies/netcoreapp1.1:

      "Microsoft.FSharp.Core.netcore": "1.0.0-alpha-*"
  

  • And finally rename Tests.cs to Tests.fs and change it to F# syntax.

• In the test project's project.json, import the other project's directory to reference it for testing by adding it under dependencies:

      "SuaveChironNetcore":"1.0.0-*"
  

• Whenever adding files, you'll need to add them to the compile section of project.json in the order they should be built.

• The build for xunit may give a warning about the version. You need some RC2 version, just set the dependency to "dotnet-test-xunit": "1.0.0-rc2-*",.
