Hi All
Just watched this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVLOerdCuwA and it seems very interesting.
I've got docker up and running with standard MS docker repos. However, we use BC130 on-prem with a major add-in ($1.8K per user) that is written in C/AL (won't be AL extension until v16). This add-in adds 500+ tables and changes a ton of standard functionality.
My AL extensions need to use a lot of this add-in's data and I frequently need to refresh the base data in my dev instance
I'm working on automated testing right now and would lone to move to CI (used to working with Jenkins, Selenium, XUnit, Nexus in past). Currently using Azure DevOps for issue requirements, dev, testing and repos.
I'm stuck on how to use docker with my BC130 and the Add-in. What I really want is to prep my On-prem dev instance and then make this into a docker container
Anyone done anything like this?
Thanks
Mark

You can make a docker build script do this. And this same docker script can also be used in Azure DevOps to create a build container that gets created and destroyed every build. However - because you have C/AL, this will be a painfully slow process - like 20 minute builds.
This is just a skeleton - not an actual script, and it assumes you are using Freddy Kristiansen's navcontainerhelper.
New-NavContainer $containerName (whatever parameters)
Import-ObjectsToNavContainer `
-containerName $containerName `
-objectsFile "add-on.fob" `
-SynchronizeSchemaChanges force
Generate-SymbolsInNavContainer $containerName
Once the container is running, then download symbols in Visual Studio Code.
