Is there at last a easy way to execute c# script file from command line?
I saw that discussion on github
and according to this thread i think dotnet run Test.cs
should do the job.
But for my testclass which is:
using System;
namespace Scripts
{
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.Out.WriteLine("This is the miracle");
}
}
}
it fails
PM> dotnet run .\Test.cs
dotnet.exe : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.At line:1 char:1
So how could I execute the code in single file using command line in relatively easy manner?
UPD 1: As correctly mentioned by @Lee and @svick dotnet run
is for running project. But my initial question was - how to run single file. Maybe some options using roslyn
?
I found another solution on Scott Hanselman's blog:

It relies on a .NET CLI tool called dotnet-script
, you can find its repository below:
https://github.com/filipw/dotnet-script
To use, it, first install it using dotnet tool install -g dotnet-script
Then you can run dotnet script
and use it as a REPL or run dotnet script file.csx
to run a file.
To include a NuGet package reference, use #r "nuget: AutoMapper, 6.1.0"
