I don't think we have one, as we don't have a FSI module on FAKE 5 yet.

[jackfoxy]

Would that be related to the item

Use F# Type Providers and F# Interactive in .NET Core 2.1. (specifically FSI)

on the MSFT VS roadmap https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/productinfo/vs2018-roadmap ?

I imagine this is also the major impediment to moving forward with FSharp.Formatting 3.0?

[matthid]

Maybe a bit, but yeah we probably should upgrade netcore to 2.1

Hey @matthid, is this issue do-able? If so, I can port over the fsihelper module. What would the module be called? Fake.FSI.Helper? Or just Fake.FSIHelper?

[matthid]

@vanceism7 yes I think it can be added. I guess we would name it Fake.DotNet.Fsi or Fake.Tools.Fsi

[matthid]

PR is welcome. I'm closing this to clean the house a bit ;)

[vanceism7]

Just a bump for whoever is wondering, I should have a PR coming in for this pretty soon

[halcwb]

This has been a year, will there be a FAKE 5 FSIhelper module, or is this still open?

[vanceism7]

@halcwb: looks like a PR for this was merged about a year ago.

#1970

It wasn't merged into a main branch but I assume all the changes have been integrated into the main release by now

[matthid]

Yes it is here since 5.1.0, should have liked those issues up :)
