How to insert code quality metric - FAKE F#MAKE

Question

I am trying to migrate existing MSBuild file to FAKE . I am trying to understand a piece of code but could not find how it is used , and how to implement this in FAKE.And the developer who worked on this MSBuild file has left the company 6-8 months back .So , now I am trying to migrate the existing MSBuild file to FAKE.

This is my MSBuild Code , that I need to implement in FAKE

<!-- Code Quality -->
    <BuildFrameworkPath>$(BuildToolsDir)\BuildFramework</BuildFrameworkPath>
    <QualityMetricsMaxComplexityBreaking>10</QualityMetricsMaxComplexityBreaking>   <!-- BREAKS 10 -->
    <QualityMetricsMaxComplexityWarning>9</QualityMetricsMaxComplexityWarning>
    <QualityMetricsLineCoverageBreaking>50</QualityMetricsLineCoverageBreaking><!-- BREAKS 70 -->
    <QualityMetricsLineCoverageWarning>65</QualityMetricsLineCoverageWarning>
    <QualityMetricsSymbolCoverage>70</QualityMetricsSymbolCoverage><!-- 70 -->
    <QualityMetricsBranchCoverage>70</QualityMetricsBranchCoverage><!-- 70 -->
    <QualityMetricsMaxCouplingBreaking>85</QualityMetricsMaxCouplingBreaking> <!-- 40 -->
    <QualityMetricsMaxCouplingWarning>75</QualityMetricsMaxCouplingWarning>
    <QualityMetricsMinMaintainabilityBreaking>35</QualityMetricsMinMaintainabilityBreaking>  <!-- BREAKS 35-->
    <QualityMetricsMinMaintainabilityWarning>30</QualityMetricsMinMaintainabilityWarning>
    <QualityMetricsCouplingExcludeFiles>DependencyInjectionConfiguration</QualityMetricsCouplingExcludeFiles>

    <QualityNDependProjectFilePath>$(BuildRoot)NDepend.ndproj</QualityNDependProjectFilePath>
    <QualityNDependInDirs>$(BuildDir)</QualityNDependInDirs>

    <QualityJsLintScriptsToAnalyse Condition="$(QualityJsLintScriptsToAnalyse) == '' Or $(QualityJsLintScriptsToAnalyse) == '*Undefined*'">$(BuildWebSiteDir)\Scripts\App\*.js</QualityJsLintScriptsToAnalyse>

    <QualityFxCopAssembliesToAnalyse>$(BuildDir)\$(ProjectName)*.dll</QualityFxCopAssembliesToAnalyse>
    <QualityFxCopBreakingRulesProject>$(BuildRoot)Rules.Breaking.fxcop</QualityFxCopBreakingRulesProject>
    <QualityFxCopRulesProject>$(BuildRoot)Rules.fxcop</QualityFxCopRulesProject>

    <QualitySourceMonitorSourceDir>$(BuildSolutionDir)\</QualitySourceMonitorSourceDir>    <!-- be sure to end directory with a "/" -->

Is this possible to add quality metric in FAKE . I tried to find out how to do this in FAKE but could not find anything .

If anyone can help me in understanding the existing MSBuild code or in implementing the similar code in FAKE , that would be very helpful.

Answer 1

I would start with downloading executables to run from the command prompt and try to integrate into Fake build script with a help of the ProcessHelper .

From your msbuild code it seems you need next bits:

• For jslint
• For Code Metrics
• For FxCop there is a direct Fake helper
