How does this skill handle verbose build outputs in Claude?

It is optimized to run as a subtask, which keeps the main conversation clean by returning only the essential summaries, pass/fail counts, and specific error context.

Can I run specific tests instead of the entire suite?

Yes, you can use the -TestCodeunit parameter to target specific codeunit IDs, allowing for much faster iteration during debugging.

Where are the test results stored?

Test results are output to the .output/TestResults/ folder in JUnit XML format, along with merged telemetry in JSONL format.

Do I need external task runners to use al-build?

No, al-build is a self-contained system that handles the entire build and test lifecycle without requiring external task runners.

What are the prerequisites for using this skill?

You need a local Docker installation, a configured Business Central container, and to run the initialization and provisioning scripts provided by the skill.

Automates the compilation, publishing, and testing of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (AL) projects within agentic workflows.

al-build provides a self-contained build system specifically designed for AL development. It streamlines the development cycle by combining compilation, app publishing, and test execution into a single, automated command, ensuring code quality through mandatory build gates before commits. By integrating with Docker-based environments, it handles configuration management and delivers summarized test results, including JUnit outputs and telemetry data, allowing developers to focus on logic rather than manual build infrastructure.
