Command Line

ALCops analyzers work with the AL compiler (alc.exe) through the standard /analyzer flag. This is the foundation that all other integration methods build on.

AL Compiler (alc.exe)

Pass one or more analyzer DLLs to the compiler using the /analyzer flag:

alc.exe /project:"C:\Source\MyApp" /packagecachepath:"C:\Source\MyApp\.alpackages" /analyzer:"C:\Analyzers\ALCops.ApplicationCop.dll" /analyzer:"C:\Analyzers\ALCops.PlatformCop.dll"

Each /analyzer flag accepts a full path to a single DLL. Repeat the flag for each analyzer you want to include.

Important

When running from the command line, you must also include ALCops.Common.dll in the customCodeCops array. This shared dependency is required by all ALCops analyzers.

If you are not loading any Microsoft code analyzers (CodeCop, UICop, etc.), you must also place Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Analyzers.Common.dll alongside the ALCops DLLs.

Obtaining the DLLs

ALCops distributes analyzer DLLs through NuGet. Download the package from the NuGet feed and extract the DLLs for the correct target framework.
