How to add all projects to a single solution with dotnet sln?

Question

Following examples from here I'm trying to execute

dotnet sln AllProjects.sln add **/*.csproj

But I get this error:

Could not find project or directory **/*.csproj.

Looks like wildcards are not working. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I've missed this statement:

Globbing patterns are supported on Unix/Linux based terminals

My Windows PowerShell solution looks like this:

$projects = Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.Name -match '^.+\.(csproj|vbproj)$' }

$uniqueProjects = $projects | Group-Object -Property Name | Where Count -EQ 1 | select -ExpandProperty Group | % { $_.FullName }

Invoke-Expression -Command "dotnet new sln -n AllProjects"

$uniqueProjects | % { Invoke-Expression -Command "dotnet sln AllProjects.sln add ""$_""" }

Answer 2

For Windows, open PowerShell and run this command to add all projects to the solution file:

 dotnet sln add (ls -r **/*.csproj)
