Invoke-D365VisualStudioCompilerResultAnalyzer [[-Module] <String>] [[-OutputPath] <String>] [-SkipWarnings]
 [-SkipTasks] [[-PackageDirectory] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

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

Invoke-D365VisualStudioCompilerResultAnalyzer

This will analyse all compiler output log files generated from Visual Studio.

A result set example:

File Filename

c:\temp\d365fo.tools\ApplicationCommon-CompilerResults.xlsx ApplicationCommon-CompilerResults.xlsx c:\temp\d365fo.tools\ApplicationFoundation-CompilerResults.xlsx ApplicationFoundation-CompilerResults.xlsx c:\temp\d365fo.tools\ApplicationPlatform-CompilerResults.xlsx ApplicationPlatform-CompilerResults.xlsx c:\temp\d365fo.tools\ApplicationSuite-CompilerResults.xlsx ApplicationSuite-CompilerResults.xlsx c:\temp\d365fo.tools\ApplicationWorkspaces-CompilerResults.xlsx ApplicationWorkspaces-CompilerResults.xlsx

Invoke-D365VisualStudioCompilerResultAnalyzer -SkipWarnings

This will analyse all compiler output log files generated from Visual Studio. It will exclude all warnings from the output.

A result set example:

File Filename

c:\temp\d365fo.tools\ApplicationCommon-CompilerResults.xlsx ApplicationCommon-CompilerResults.xlsx c:\temp\d365fo.tools\ApplicationFoundation-CompilerResults.xlsx ApplicationFoundation-CompilerResults.xlsx c:\temp\d365fo.tools\ApplicationPlatform-CompilerResults.xlsx ApplicationPlatform-CompilerResults.xlsx c:\temp\d365fo.tools\ApplicationSuite-CompilerResults.xlsx ApplicationSuite-CompilerResults.xlsx c:\temp\d365fo.tools\ApplicationWorkspaces-CompilerResults.xlsx ApplicationWorkspaces-CompilerResults.xlsx

Invoke-D365VisualStudioCompilerResultAnalyzer -SkipTasks

This will analyse all compiler output log files generated from Visual Studio. It will exclude all tasks from the output.
