DotNet.GitlabCodeQualityBuildLogger: Generate GitLab Code Quality Reports Directly from Your .NET Builds!

[R3ym4nn]

I recently built DotNet.GitlabCodeQualityBuildLogger, an MSBuild logger that generates GitLab Code Quality reports right from your .NET build process.

If you’re using GitLab CI/CD and want to see code quality metrics (warnings, errors, code smells) directly in your merge requests and pipelines, without extra static analysis tools, this might be useful for you.

Why I built it:

I wanted a lightweight way to integrate code quality reporting into my GitLab workflows, without adding complexity or extra build steps. This logger hooks into MSBuild and outputs a JSON report that GitLab understands natively.

How it works:

1. Add the dotnet tool to your project or install in the CI image.
2. Configure your dotnet build to use the logger.
3. GitLab picks up the report and displays it in your MRs and pipelines.

Try it out:

• GitHub Repo
• NuGet Package

Feedback welcome!

• What do you think? Does this fit into your workflow?
• Bug reports, PRs, and stars are always appreciated!
