A script to be used with JetBrains' Rider on OSX/*nix from Microsoft repositories.

README.md

Start Rider with proper setp for MS repositories

This solution is based on existing MS shell scripts that launch VS or VSCode.

Run Rider

One can either run a script located at root directory, included here as an example, passing paths to projects/solutions to be opened by Rider:

startrider.sh ./MyApp.sln

The script can be invoked from other locations within your project, to prepeare Rider to open your current project properly setup:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
repo_root="$DIR/../.."
"$repo_root/startrider.sh" $DIR

startrider.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# This command launches JetBrains Rider with environment variables required to use a local version of the .NET Core SDK.

# This tells .NET Core to use the same dotnet.exe that build scripts use
DIR="$( cd "$( dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}" )" && pwd )"
export DOTNET_ROOT="$DIR/.dotnet"

# This tells .NET Core not to go looking for .NET Core in other places
export DOTNET_MULTILEVEL_LOOKUP=0

# Put our local dotnet on PATH first so Rider knows which one to use
export PATH="$DOTNET_ROOT:$PATH"

# Sets TFW for JetBrains Rider usage
export TARGET=net9.0

if [ ! -f "$DOTNET_ROOT/dotnet" ]; then
    echo ".NET Core has not yet been installed. Run \`./restore.sh\` to install tools."
    exit 1
fi

# Check if Rider is available via command line
if command -v rider >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    # Use rider command if available
    if [[ $1 == "" ]]; then
        rider .
    else
        rider $1
    fi
elif [ -d "/Applications/Rider.app" ]; then
    # Use macOS application bundle
    if [[ $1 == "" ]]; then
        open -a "Rider" .
    else
        open -a "Rider" $1
    fi
else
    echo "JetBrains Rider not found. Please ensure Rider is installed and either:"
    echo "1. Add 'rider' command to PATH, or"
    echo "2. Install Rider.app in /Applications/"
    exit 1
fi

exit 0
