## About

# .NET Tooling

## **Priority: P1 (OPERATIONAL)**

Essential tooling for .NET development, testing, and CI/CD.

## Implementation Guidelines

- **Project Files**: SDK-style `.csproj`. Use `Directory.Build.props` for shared settings.
- **Central Package Management**: `Directory.Packages.props` for version consistency.
- **Testing**: xUnit or NUnit. FluentAssertions for readable assertions. Moq for mocking.
- **Code Analysis**: Enable built-in analyzers. Consider StyleCop, SonarQube.
- **Build**: `dotnet build`, `dotnet publish`. Use Release config for production.
- **EditorConfig**: Consistent code style across team.
- **CI/CD**: GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or GitLab CI.

## Anti-Patterns

- **No `packages.config`**: Migrate to `PackageReference`.
- **No skipping tests in CI**: Tests must pass before merge.
- **No ignoring warnings**: Fix or suppress with documented justification.
- **No floating versions**: Pin versions (`8.0.0`, not `8.*`).

## Code

```xml

  
    net8.0
    enable
    enable
    true
    latest-recommended
  

  
    true
  
  
    
    
    
  

```

```csharp
// xUnit test with FluentAssertions
public class UserServiceTests
{
    [Fact]
    public async Task GetUser_WithValidId_ReturnsUser()
    {
        // Arrange
        var mockRepo = new Mock();
        mockRepo.Setup(r => r.GetByIdAsync(1, default))
            .ReturnsAsync(new User { Id = 1, Name = "Test" });
        var sut = new UserService(mockRepo.Object);

        // Act
        var result = await sut.GetUserAsync(1);

        // Assert
        result.Should().NotBeNull();
        result!.Name.Should().Be("Test");
        mockRepo.Verify(r => r.GetByIdAsync(1, default), Times.Once);
    }
}
```
