SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Improves CLI build performance by utilizing MSBuild Server caching, reducing incremental build times and enhancing overall efficiency.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • CLI Build Performance: Accelerates incremental builds from the command line.
  • Server-based Caching: Leverages the MSBuild Server for persistent caching of evaluation results.
  • Use Case: Ideal for scenarios where developers experience slow build times with CLI tools like dotnet build.

Quick Start

Set the environment variable MSBUILDUSESERVER=1 and run dotnet build to initiate the caching process.

Frequently Asked Questions about msbuild-server

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I speed up dotnet build from the command line?▼

To speed up dotnet build from the command line, set the MSBUILDUSESERVER environment variable to 1, which enables MSBuild Server caching to reduce incremental build times.

What is MSBuild Server caching and how does it improve build performance?▼

MSBuild Server caching improves build performance by utilizing a server-based approach to persistently cache evaluation results, significantly reducing the time required for incremental .NET builds.

Can I use MSBuild Server caching for my .NET CLI projects?▼

Yes, you can use MSBuild Server caching for .NET CLI projects by enabling the feature through the MSBUILDUSESERVER environment variable before executing your standard command-line builds.

What environment variable is required to enable MSBuild Server caching?▼

The MSBUILDUSESERVER environment variable must be set to 1 to enable MSBuild Server caching, allowing the build process to leverage persistent evaluation result caching for faster execution.

Why does my dotnet build run slowly during incremental builds?▼

Your dotnet build may run slowly during incremental builds because server-based caching is not enabled, a problem solved by setting MSBUILDUSESERVER to 1 to cache evaluation results.

When do I need to enable server-based caching for MSBuild?▼

You need to enable server-based caching for MSBuild when you experience slow incremental build times using CLI tools and want to enhance overall development efficiency through persistent evaluation caching.
