Analyze the compiler output log

Invoke-D365CompilerResultAnalyzer [-Path] <String> [[-OutputPath] <String>] [-SkipWarnings] [-SkipTasks]
 [[-PackageDirectory] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

Analyze the compiler output log and generate an excel file contain worksheets per type: Errors, Warnings, Tasks

It could be a Visual Studio compiler log or it could be a Invoke-D365ModuleCompile log you want analyzed

Invoke-D365CompilerResultAnalyzer -Path "c:\temp\d365fo.tools\Custom\Dynamics.AX.Custom.xppc.log"

This will analyse all compiler output log files generated from Visual Studio. It will use the default path for the OutputPath parameter.

It will build error and error summary worksheets. It will build warning and warning summary worksheets. It will build task and task summary worksheets.

A result set example:

File Filename

c:\temp\d365fo.tools\Custom-CompilerResults.xlsx Custom-CompilerResults.xlsx

Invoke-D365CompilerResultAnalyzer -Path "c:\temp\d365fo.tools\Custom\Dynamics.AX.Custom.xppc.log" -SkipWarnings

This will analyse all compiler output log files generated from Visual Studio. It will use the default path for the OutputPath parameter.

It will build error and error summary worksheets. It will build task and task summary worksheets.

A result set example:

File Filename

c:\temp\d365fo.tools\Custom-CompilerResults.xlsx Custom-CompilerResults.xlsx

Invoke-D365CompilerResultAnalyzer -Path "c:\temp\d365fo.tools\Custom\Dynamics.AX.Custom.xppc.log" -SkipTasks
