Custom Commands

Many common CLI tools, such as npm, yarn, dotnet, docker, kubectl, have all had strong objects created to wrap around their CLI commands.

If you want to run a command that isn't currently supported by strong objects, you can still run commands directly through the ICommand interface available on the context object within your modules.

Every argument should be passed as a separate string in a collection. This allows proper formatting if there's things like spaces or quotes.

Example

await context.Command.ExecuteCommandLineTool(new CommandLineToolOptions("dotnet")
        {
            Arguments = new[] { "tool", "install", "--global", "dotnet-coverage" },
        }, cancellationToken);

This is the equivalent to running:

dotnet tool install --global dotnet-coverage
