fsxpack

A tool to pack an F# script for easy redistribution.

This tools parses your F# .fsx script, detects all #r referenced assemblies and pack everything into a self-contained folder that can be redistributed and executed on a differenet computer. No need for .fsproj file, just edit your F# scripts in Visual Studio and run fsxpack to pack your script.

Syntax

fsi.exe fsxpack.fsx <YourFsxFile.fsx>

This creates a subdirectory pack containing YourFsxFile.fsx as well as auxiliary scripts loaded in your script with the #load meta-command. Assemblies referred in your script using #r are copied to the pack\refs subdirectory. The script itself is updated to make it point to the refs dubdirectory instead of the original location (which might be outside of the fsx directory, for instance a nuget packages folder from a parent F# solution).

Some TODOs

  • Handle recursive FSX includes
  • Use same assembly location resolution logic as the one used by F# interactive (fsi.exe). (Current logic used is a dirty hack but it works for most scripts.)
  • Integrate into fsi.exe as --pack switch
