Evolve + Octopus

[ben-foster-cko]

Do you have any guidance on how to integrate Evolve with Octopus. It's likely that our migrations would be run as a standalone application and since there is no command line tool (yet), I'm curious how you would recommend doing this.

Also, is it possible to disable the MS Build task?

Ok, the easy question first :) To disable the MSBuild task:

• For .NET Core projects, do not add any evolve.json file in your solution.
• For .NET projects, do not add any Evolve.* keys in <appSettings> or let the Evolve.Command value empty.

I dont' know Octopus. But run you migrations in a standalone application seems fair. Do not use any configuration file. Use the in-app mode and pass a DbConnection to the Evolve constructor directly.

See this example as a starting point.

Any questions :) ?

@ben-foster-cko you can have a look at #16 and the discussion there. It is only a prototype for the moment (I lack time right now) but it is functional and I hope I'll soon be able to add the missing pieces so that we can include this is the main branch.
