I wanted to IlMerge an assembly in a TeamCity project. TeamCity has a Powershell build step that you can use to run your own arbitrary scripts. Here’s how I did it
TeamCity Configuration
Powershell Script
<#
.SYNOPSIS
IlMerges an assembly with its dependencies. Depends on nuget being installed in the PATH.
.PARAMETER targetProject
The name of the project to be ilmerged
.PARAMETER outputAssembly
The name of the ilmerged assembly when it is created
.PARAMETER buildConfiguration
The build configuration used to create the assembly. Used to locate the assembly under the project. The usual format is Project/bin/Debug
.PARAMETER targetPlatform
Defaults to .NET 4
.PARAMETER mvc3
If the project is an Mvc3 project, the MVC3 assemblies need to be added to the ilmerge list. The script assumes that the MVC3 assemblies are installed in the default location.
.PARAMETER internalize
Adds the /internalize flag to the merged assembly to prevent namespace conflicts.
.EXAMPLE
ilmerge.ps1 -targetProject "MyMVC3Project" -mvc3
#>
param(
[parameter(Mandatory=$true)] $targetProject,
$outputAssembly = "$targetProject.dll",
$buildConfiguration = "",
$targetPlatform = "v4,c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319",
[switch] $mvc3,
[switch] $internalize
