Run benchmarks without source code and with multiple RuntimeMonikers

[djfoxer]

Hi. Is it possible to run benchmark app without source code for multiple runtimes SDK?

I created class with multiple RuntimeMonikers by using SimpleJob attribute (Net48,NetCoreApp31,Net50). When I run my app without source code I get error "BenchmarkDotNet has failed to build the auto-generated boilerplate code.". Ofcourse I can add [InProcess] attribute but it only allows to run benchmark for SDK that exe file was builded (in my case exe file was builded in .NET 5).

Currently I can solve my issue only by building multiple exe files using selected SDK (Net48,NetCoreApp 31,Net50). Could I (somehow) build one exe (without source code) that can test multiple SDK (multiple RuntimeMonikers)?

Btw, Thank you for your great work!

Hi @djfoxer

It is not. BenchmarkDotNet generates boilerplate code and we simply have to compile it. As you have noticed InProcessToolchain does not have this requirement, but you need to compile the exes on your own.

Since this is by design and we don't plan to change it, I am going to close the issue.
