CoreCLR Support

[DerAlbertCom]

Hi,

any plans for CoreCLR/ASP.NET 5 Console Application Support?

Need Help, or not interested?

[gsscoder]

@DerAlbertCom,
yes I'm interested and help will be appreciated.

Starting from understanding if CoreCLR is a general target or a target tied only to ASP.NET 5?

I'm also interested if prople call the library from web apps and if they do I'm really interested of what kind of use they do.
Or probably they create console apps use the lib and reference ASPNET runtime?

Please remember that every work of this kind will eventually start after stable is reached (as in #213).

👍

Yes, it is general CoreCLR und CoreFX. Has nothing todo with ASP.NET. And the ASP.NET Console Application is not an ASP.NET Application. It is Console Application which runs on .NET Core. But there there is no right Place in "File New Project" now ;)

[DerAlbertCom]

I will not start before 2.0 release

[gsscoder]

Perfect, @DerAlbertCom, thansk for your interest and appreciated proposal of help! :)

So, it's perfect to coordinate ourselves after that release.

Thanks again.

There is something out of the Box: http://jameschambers.com/2015/09/supporting-options-and-arguments-in-your-dnx-commands/ . so i don't know if i start porting ;/ will have to evaluate

I know corefx are working on there own commandline parser at present:https://github.com/dotnet/corefxlab/blob/terrajobst/commandline/src/System.CommandLine/README.md#why-a-new-library

Would be good to see commandline support corefx / coreclr too though as its my favourite parser!

📎 Please read: #250. Thanks for collaboration and patience! 😅

P.S.: valid only for me, if a main contrib. is available he's obviously free to support devs/users of the project.

Hi, one of our customers has the need of a CoreClr port. So we have been working on it. I will submit a PR. Please provide feedback!

[gsscoder]

@jeremymeng, thanks for your PR! 👍
As said, after 2.0 will be promoted STABLE, I'll work on it.

Please be patient, but my time resources are limited in this period.

Thanks you, again!

I saw that most of the work has been done in dotnet-core branch. Is there an ETA for publishing a nuget that supports netstandard1.3?

[AlexanderButs]

Any news, guys, after .NET Core RTM release?

BTW, great library! Thanks.

[nemec]

Good news y'all, I've merged the dotnet-core branch into master. @jtattermusch I'm still pretty new to Core but it targets netstandard1.5 so you may have to upgrade.

[jtattermusch]

@nemec thanks for merging the dotnet-core branch. To make the netstandard1.X support really usable though, a new version of nuget needs to be uploaded (to be created with the dotnet pack command). Are you planning to upload a new version of the nuget?

(In the meantime, I might upload an interim nuget package under a different name so I can start using it ASAP).

Ad netstandard1.5: 1.5 works fine for me, but I'd expect that 1.3 (or even lower) should be sufficient. At some point, if there is some effort to look into supporting something lower than 1.5, that could really help expanding the CoreCLR user base.
