ForNeVeR/Fabricator

Fabricator is a DevOps platform that manages environment state through declarative F\# scripts. It provides a command-line interface to apply or preview changes, handling resources such as files, downloads, Windows services, certificates, and system configurations. The system ensures integrity via SHA-256 verification and supports both cross-platform and Windows-specific infrastructure tasks.

The Fabricator.Example project now includes a console application that demonstrates how to use the Fabricator library to install the Readeck application and wrap it as a Windows service using Shawl. The example configures specific versions and SHA-256 hashes for downloading Readeck and Shawl, handles file caching and unpacking, and defines the service configuration including the execution account and command-line arguments.

This change introduces a new automated versioning system and migrates CI workflows to code generation. New PowerShell scripts, Get-Version.ps1 and Update-Version.ps1, allow the system to determine the current version from git tags or project files and update version strings in Directory.Build.props and README.md respectively. The CI workflows (main, docs, release) are now defined in scripts/github-actions.fsx using the Generaptor.Library (v1.12.0) DSL, replacing manual YAML definitions. This enables consistent workflow structures, automated release packaging, and documentation publishing on GitHub Pages.

scripts · high confidence

This change introduces the core IResource interface within Fabricator.Core, defining the contract for resources with a PresentableName and methods to check if already applied and to apply them. It also includes the AssemblyInfo file to configure internal visibility for tests and establishes MIT licensing headers for the new files.

Fabricator.Core · high confidence

This entry marks the initial public release of Fabricator, a hackable DevOps platform for managing environment state via F\# scripts. The release includes the core library packages (Fabricator.Core, Fabricator.Console, Fabricator.Resources) and introduces new resources for managing .NET global tools (DotNetTool.Install) and Windows X.509 certificates (WindowsCertificates.trustedCertificate). The project requires .NET SDK 9.0 or later for development and targets .NET 9.0 for runtime, with build tooling updated to use the .slnx format and .NET SDK 10.0.401.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The Fabricator.Console project now provides a command-line interface with two primary commands: 'apply' to apply resource changes to the current environment, and 'check' to preview upcoming changes without taking action. The entry point handles argument parsing, supports F\# script invocation, and returns specific exit codes for success, invalid arguments, execution errors, and partial application status.

Fabricator.Console · high confidence

This release introduces a suite of new resources in Fabricator.Resources, enabling declarative management of local files, directories, and downloads with SHA-256 integrity verification, as well as system-level configurations. Users can now manage Chocolatey packages, .NET global tools, and Windows services (including creation, deletion, and start/stop control) on Windows. Cross-platform support is added via a resource for managing /etc/hosts entries, while Windows-specific capabilities include installing X.509 certificates into system stores and extracting ZIP archives with hash validation.

Fabricator.Resources · high confidence

Added test coverage for the console entry point's argument parsing behavior, as well as for the File, HostsFile, and WindowsCertificates resource implementations, verifying their presentable names, idempotency, and application logic.

Fabricator.Tests · high confidence

The project now includes a .config/dotnet-tools.json file that registers DocFX version 2.81.0 as a .NET global tool, enabling local execution of documentation generation commands. A corresponding license file (MIT) has also been added to satisfy tooling requirements.

.config · high confidence

This change introduces the foundational project structure for the Fabricator infrastructure automation framework, defining five new project files: Fabricator.Core (core interfaces), Fabricator.Console (CLI and orchestration), Fabricator.Resources (deployment resources like files, services, and certificates), Fabricator.Example (sample executable), and Fabricator.Tests (test suite). It establishes the dependency graph, including references to MedallionShell, TruePath, and TruePath.SystemIo in the resources package, and configures the test environment with xUnit, Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk, and TaskBuilder.fs.
