dotnethelper
Package dotnethelper contains .NET-related helpers for Go.
It provides small, dependency-free helpers that shell out to the dotnet
command-line tool to inspect the local .NET installation.
Installation
go get github.com/solsw/dotnethelper
Usage
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/solsw/dotnethelper"
)
func main() {
if !dotnethelper.Installed() {
fmt.Println(".NET is not installed")
return
}
version, err := dotnethelper.Version()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("failed to get .NET version:", err)
return
}
fmt.Println(".NET version:", version)
}
API
func Installed() bool
Reports whether .NET is installed, by checking
that dotnet --version runs successfully.
func Version() (string, error)
Returns the version of the installed .NET (as
reported by dotnet --version).
If dotnet --version fails, the returned error will usually be of type
*exec.ExitError, whose Stderr field
contains the command’s error output.
Requirements
The .NET SDK or runtime must be installed and
the dotnet executable must be available on the system PATH.
