Summary

  • split CI into versioning, grammar validation, per-runtime native builds, one NuGet build, package-consumer tests, native archive creation, artifact collection, and a final gate
  • reuse the same NuGet and native-archive scripts from CI and release workflows
  • make the C# test project consume the generated package in CI while retaining its project reference for normal development
  • validate the packaged binding on Windows x64 and Linux x64 across .NET 8, 9, and 10
  • document why the managed binding is portable while the native parser requires an OS/architecture build matrix

Validation

  • dotnet test Expressif.Syntax.sln --configuration Release — 121 tests passed on each of net8.0, net9.0, and net10.0
  • generated and inspected a NuGet package containing all three managed TFMs plus win-x64 and linux-x64 native assets
  • restored and ran the full test project against the generated package locally on Windows x64 — 121 tests passed on each TFM
  • generated and inspected the native C source archive
  • parsed both workflow YAML files and both new PowerShell scripts
  • git diff --check
  • GitHub Actions package-consumption tests passed on Windows x64 and Linux x64, and the final CI gate passed

close #75

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The workflows now calculate a shared version, build native libraries for six targets, package the C# binding, test installed packages across runtimes, create a native archive, collect artifacts, and gate publication on validation.

Changes

Package pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package contracts and build scripts
bindings/csharp/..., scripts/*
The projects package native assets for six targets and switch tests between project and package references. New scripts build the NuGet package and native archive with validated versions.
CI build and consumption flow
.github/workflows/ci.yml
CI calculates one version, builds native libraries, creates packages, tests installed packages across platforms and .NET 8–10, collects artifacts, and updates the final gate.
Release packaging and consumption
.github/workflows/release.yml
Release builds all native targets, creates NuGet and native archive packages, tests package consumption across supported runtimes, and gates publication on both validation jobs.
Platform-specific native build documentation
docs/_docs/why-expressif-syntax-needs-platform-specific-native-builds.md
The documentation defines the native build matrix, runtime identifiers, and separation between the shared C# assembly and platform-specific parser libraries.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 098cc

The CI and release package tests may restore a different package with the same ID and version instead of the package produced by this change, allowing validation to pass without testing the intended build. Merge readiness depends on restricting package resolution to the generated package source in both workflows.

NuGet RestoreAdditionalProjectSources package source mapping exact package ID multiple sources same version source selection official documentation

💡 Result:

NuGet does not support prioritization of package sources during restore [1][2][3]. When multiple sources are configured, NuGet attempts to retrieve packages from all of them in parallel, and the restore process is non-deterministic regarding which source is used if the same package ID and version exist in multiple locations [4][2]. To achieve deterministic restore behavior and control source selection, you must use Package Source Mapping [4][5]. Package Source Mapping allows you to explicitly define which source(s) NuGet should search for specific packages [4][6]. This is the recommended approach to resolve ambiguity when a package ID exists in multiple sources [4][5]. Key rules for Package Source Mapping include: 1. Pattern Precedence: When multiple patterns match a package ID, the most specific (longest) match takes precedence [4][5]. Exact package ID patterns have the highest precedence, while the generic * (wildcard) pattern has the lowest [4][5]. 2. Comprehensive Mapping: Once you define a packageSourceMapping section, you must explicitly map every package used in the solution, including all transitive dependencies [4][6]. 3. Multiple Sources for a Pattern: While you can map the same package ID pattern to multiple sources, it is not recommended because it prevents predictable source selection [4][7]. Regarding RestoreAdditionalProjectSources, this property adds package sources to the restore process just as if they were defined in your NuGet.config file [3]. It does not introduce any priority or selection logic; these added sources are treated equally alongside all other configured sources [2][3]. In summary, reliance on source order or "priority" is not supported and will not reliably resolve conflicts [1][2]. The official and supported solution is to implement Package Source Mapping in your NuGet.config file to enforce specific source usage for specific package IDs [4][5].

Restrict Expressif.Syntax to the downloaded package source.

RestoreAdditionalProjectSources does not prioritize the artifact directory. If another feed contains the same package ID and version, NuGet can restore that package instead. Create a temporary NuGet config that maps Expressif.Syntax only to artifacts and maps * to the normal feed for test dependencies. Pass it with --configfile in both restore steps: .github/workflows/ci.yml and .github/workflows/release.yml.
