Visual Studio 2022 or higher is needed. VS Code / VS for Mac are not supported. To build the mobile targets, install the Maui workload. To build UWP, install Windows SDK 177630.
MSAL .Net supports many target frameworks, by default it does not enable the mobile targets and the legacy targets. Unit tests exist only for the base frameworks. To load all targets, edit Microsoft.Identity.Client.csproj or set an env variable named INCLUDE_MOBILE_AND_LEGACY_TFM to value "1" and restart Visual Studio.
Open LibsAndSamples.sln for a bigger solution with lots of developer apps that exercise MSAL. You may have to disable some dev apps. Load LibsNoSamples.sln for a small solution that has the library and the tests.
Microsoft contributors can run integration tests by following instructions here.
External contributors can only run the unit tests. The CI build will run integration tests.
To test an MSAL package, use the package command from VS. Or from the command line:
msbuild <msal>.csproj /t:pack /p:MsalClientSemVer=1.2.3-preview
The CI build will not run on a PR opened from a fork, as a security measure. The MSAL team may move your branch from your fork to the main repository, to be able to run the CI. This will preserve the identity of the commit.
