Build Tools Quick Reference
Standard Cycles
Unit test cycle (no BC required — fast):
/compile → al-runner ./src ./test
Full integration cycle (BC required):
/compile → /publish → /run-tests (bc-test)
Or as shell commands:
al-compile && al-runner ./src ./test
al-compile && bc-publish && bc-test
Tool Summary
| Tool | Purpose | Skill | BC Required? |
|---|
al-compile | Compile AL project with analyzers | /compile | No |
al-runner | Run pure-logic unit tests in milliseconds | /run-tests | No |
al-mutate | Mutation testing to validate test quality | /al-mutate | No |
bc-publish | Deploy .app to BC server | /publish | Yes |
bc-test | Run full integration tests via BC OData API | /run-tests | Yes |
Config
bc-publish and bc-test read from .bcconfig.json in project root. Create with bc-publish --init.
al-runner and al-mutate work directly from AL source directories — no config file needed.
See individual skills (/compile, /publish, /run-tests, /al-mutate) for full options and usage.
