Projects out of process (new api) #470

rneatherway · 2015-11-27T17:51:01Z

No description provided.

This aims to fix many problems stemming from two main issues: * FCS depends on MSBuild v12, and not all machines have this installed. * It's hard to apply robust assembly redirects, as this is up to the application referencing FCS. These are needed to redirect MSBuild v4 to whatever is being used (for custom MSBuild tasks), and also to allow redirecting to MSBuild v14 if necessary. The API is preserved, with an additional function, `GetProjectOptionsFromProjectFileLogged` to allow easier access to the logs for presentation to users and bug-reporting. The functionality is implemented by FCS calling a new console application, FSharp.Compiler.Service.ProjectCracker.exe, and the response is transmitted via serialization using JSON to types shared by a common source file, so there is no binary dependency between the two. The ProjectCracker static links to FSharp.Core, as it is in the same directory as FCS.dll. Thus bundling a separate copy would force the choice of version on all users of FCS, which is not acceptable.

rneatherway · 2015-11-27T17:51:45Z

Removes the project cracking from FCS.dll completely. Moves it into a new dll/exe pair that live in a new NuGet package. This breaks the FCS API, but a clean break.

This is largely working, but somehow I've run into the same problem with the type provider tests as before! Very frustrating! Last time it seemed to be fixed by https://github.com/rneatherway/FSharp.Compiler.Service/commit/9c577b2aa979c1ea3d96a4caddeedb12b1ff3889, but I'm not sure what is going on now.

Is the log output collected for each project cracked? Looks like this just collects the first one, not any sub projects log files.

You're right, it does. What would be better? Perhaps a Map from project filenames to log output?

Yeah that sounds fine, I can envisage problems where a referenced project
was causing an error which was masked due to only the parent log being
returned.

@rneatherway The errors are also strangely different in AppVeyor and Travis

You have two FSHarp.Core references, one with Private true and one with Private false. I assume that is problematic?

AHA! Thanks so much for looking, that at least fixed the tests locally on Linux. I was scouring the project files looking for things like last time, but missed this somehow. Removing the Private true version was needed.

Previously only the top project was available. Also fix NuGet package

rneatherway · 2015-12-01T17:31:20Z

Still to do:

Update docs that mention checker.GetProjectOptionsFromProjectFile
Check that no other parts of the code use checker.GetProjectOptionsFromProjectFile
Be clear that new API is acceptable
Be clear that new NuGet package should or should not contain a v4.0 version, with possibly-degraded capabilities.

dsyme · 2015-12-01T18:01:59Z

No other parts use it. The API looks acceptable to me - any remaining concerns there?

dsyme · 2015-12-01T18:02:42Z

Re 4.0 - I think we should just remove it and see who complains. Whoever requires it can probably sit on the older nuget packages for a long time.

rneatherway · 2015-12-01T18:17:48Z

@7sharp9: This also fixes #455. I've had to put an ugly workaround for the Mono 4.2 xbuild bug. @DavidKarlas is that going to be backed out?

dsyme · 2015-12-01T19:11:15Z

@rneatherway Note #462 (comment) - Moving to Mono 4.2.1 has injected some failures into our tests. Is this what you're working around? thanks

DavidKarlas · 2015-12-01T20:04:20Z

@rneatherway Change that caused problems for F# in 4.2 was reverted for 4.2, before final 4.2 was released, so there should be no problems with 4.2...

rneatherway · 2015-12-01T20:46:20Z

@dsyme @DavidKarlas Mono 4.2 has changed the behaviour so that the ChildProjectReferences are no longer populated with the output file of the referenced projects (see this line: https://github.com/rneatherway/FSharp.Compiler.Service/commit/e06abd0db4d470b677417ab32a54286f637c11c1#diff-e9d0e05558936d4d3913fae7386cd6b6R102). Previously if Project2.fsproj referenced Project1.fsproj, then this is how we would obtain the reference to Project1.dll. Now we have to parse the subprojects and find the output file from them, which is why I added parsing of csproj as well (and should add vbproj too).

Should I be doing this in a different way for the new version of Mono?

dsyme · 2015-12-01T21:43:54Z

@rneatherway Any idea what's causing the AppVeyor errors? Looks like path normalization problems? I'd love to get this merged and I think we're quite close?

rneatherway · 2015-12-01T22:10:21Z

@dsyme I actually think it's a project configuration issue. When I compile the ProjectCrackerExe project on Windows with either MSbuild 12 or 14 I get:

Hmm, looks like there are duplicate entries further down. Must have been a dodgy merge at some point.

dsyme · 2015-12-02T00:23:34Z

Fantastic. Let's merge this?

dsyme · 2015-12-02T00:35:55Z

I'll merge this, let's clean up any further problems as we go.
