Running the Demos

Notes

• Only the CrossPlatDemo is ready out-of-the-box for all platforms.

• All other demos are Windows-ready by default. You can run them, but may require a bit of knowlege on how those frameworks work.

  • For Angular/React/Vue using start url - local://dist/index.html - it uses xcopy (on Windows to copy the dist folder to bin/exe folder) since it may be different for other platforms, you may have to copy the dist folder manually or replace xcopy functionality.

  • For Blazor demos, xcopy is also used in PostBuildEvent. This may require replacement too (or manual copy) for Linux and MacOS.

To run the demos in different platforms - Windows, Linux and MacOS may require a few tweaks.

Assumptions:

• Visual Studio Code (You can use Visual Studio 2019 too)
• x64 architecture

After downloading the source code - either by cloning or direct download, you need to do the following:

• Ensure appropriate runtime is selected in project file. Delete or comment out what is not needed.

    <RuntimeIdentifier>win-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
    <RuntimeIdentifier>linux-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>
    <RuntimeIdentifier>osx-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>

Sample -

demo-projects/regular-chromely/Chromely.CrossPlat/Chromely.CrossPlat.csproj

Line 9 in ba05609

<RuntimeIdentifier>win-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>

• Download and install .NET 6 Runtime binaries. You will need .NET 6 runtime installed. You can install directly if you know what is required. Or you start with building and running and see what is missing.

• You can try .NET Core 3/.NET 5 too, but the target framework would need to be changed . The demos require .NET Core 3 at minimum.

dotnet restore
dotnet build
dotnet run

and see what errors you get. It will usually tell you what is missing.

• If you are running on MacOS for the first time, you may run into issue #27.

**** This is just how to run the demos. For full documentation please see wiki.
