• BcContainerHelper module installed

Command

pwsh -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/al-build/scripts/new-bc-container.ps1"

Options

Execution

This command takes up to 30 minutes to complete. Execute as follows:

1. Use the Bash tool with run_in_background: true
2. Use TaskOutput with block: true, timeout: 600000 to wait for completion
3. Do NOT proceed to next steps until the command completes successfully

What it does

2. Configures development settings (symbol loading, debugging)
3. Installs AL Test Runner Service
4. Installs AL-Go dependencies
