Run-ALPipeline script override examples?

[cegekaJG]

I'm interested in experimenting with overriding parts of the AL Pipeline, but the documentation doesn't explain much about how to effectively implement a custom script. Is there a way to review the params hashtable at this point? Do I have to return a set of specific variables for the pipeline to run smoothly? Are there any examples of different overrides?

I looked a bit around in the BusinessCentral core app repo. there they do an overwrite of the NewBCContainer.ps1. I would guess this is some sort of what it has to look like to run like no overwrite.

Param(
[Hashtable]$parameters
)

Add Custom Stuff here

New-BcContainer @parameters

Or here

Invoke-ScriptInBcContainer -containerName $parameters.ContainerName -scriptblock { $progressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue' }

now you can add things right in front of the New-BcContainer to influence things

$parameters.multitenant = $true
$parameters.RunSandboxAsOnPrem = $true
$parameters.memoryLimit = "16G"
if ("$env:GITHUB_RUN_ID" -eq "") {
$parameters.isolation = "hyperv"
$parameters.includeAL = $true
$parameters.doNotExportObjectsToText = $true
$parameters.shortcuts = "none"
}

Just place it in the .AL-Go folder ....based on the doc you can do that for several other files as well... not sure it helps with the Run-ALPipeline script ... :)

I completely forgot about this thread; I've since created my own custom script to deploy to OnPrem environments.
You can check it out here: https://github.com/cegekaJG/AL-Go/blob/cegeka/Templates/Per%20Tenant%20Extension/.github/DeployToOnPrem.ps1

You will also see some script overrides used in the BCApps repository, here:

(or in the other projects in that repo)
