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:

# Unit tests only
al-compile && al-runner ./src ./test

# Full integration
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.
