You can build Vipr either via the command line or by using Visual Studio. We currently only support building and running on Windows. Support for other platforms will come later.

Required Software

Visual Studio 2013 (Update 3 or later) or Visual Studio 2015 (Preview or later) is required.

The following free downloads are compatible:

Building the Vipr Project

Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt. From the root of the repository, type build. This will build the Vipr.sln which contains all the necessary projects.

For cleaning the solution run build /t:clean.

For rebuilding the solution run build /t:rebuild

The default configuration to build is Debug. To build for Release configuration run build /p:Configuration=Release.

Vipr.sln can also be opened with Visual Studio to build, debug and test inside the Visual Studio IDE.

Running Tests

We use the OSS testing framework xUnit.net.

Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt. From the root of the repository, type test. This will run all the xunit tests under the 'test' folder. A test report will be output on the console at the end of a run. Vipr.sln can be opened with Visual Studio to run the xunit tests using the 'Test Explorer' window.
