Setup .NET 8.0 solution with Clean Architecture

[Copilot]

Establishes the foundational solution structure for the Ancient Wisdom API following Clean Architecture principles with strict dependency inversion.

Solution Structure

Core Projects (4)

• Domain - Zero external dependencies, pure C# entities/interfaces/enums
• Application - Business logic, depends only on Domain
• Infrastructure - EF Core 8.0.10 data access, implements Domain interfaces
• API - ASP.NET Core 8.0 presentation layer with Serilog + Swagger

Test Projects (3)

• UnitTests - xUnit + FluentAssertions + Moq
• IntegrationTests - xUnit + WebApplicationFactory
• BDD.Tests - SpecFlow + xUnit

Key Implementation Details

ApplicationDbContext (Infrastructure/Data)

public class ApplicationDbContext : DbContext
{
    public ApplicationDbContext(DbContextOptions<ApplicationDbContext> options)
        : base(options) { }
    
    // DbSets will be added as entities are created
    
    protected override void OnModelCreating(ModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        base.OnModelCreating(modelBuilder);
        // Configurations will be added here
    }
}

API Program.cs - Minimal API with health checks and Swagger

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .ReadFrom.Configuration(builder.Configuration)
    .CreateLogger();

builder.Host.UseSerilog();
builder.Services.AddEndpointsApiExplorer();
builder.Services.AddSwaggerGen();
builder.Services.AddHealthChecks();

var app = builder.Build();

if (app.Environment.IsDevelopment())
{
    app.UseSwagger();
    app.UseSwaggerUI();
}

app.MapHealthChecks("/api/health");
app.Run();

Endpoints

• GET /api/health - Health check (returns "Healthy")
• /swagger - OpenAPI documentation (dev only)

Directory Scaffold

Empty directories preserved with .gitkeep for:

• Domain: Entities/, Interfaces/, Enums/
• Application: Services/, Interfaces/, Mappings/
• Infrastructure: Repositories/
• BDD.Tests: Features/, StepDefinitions/

Ready for entity definitions and repository implementations.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• cdn.devlooped.com
  • Triggering command: /usr/share/dotnet/dotnet exec /usr/share/dotnet/sdk/9.0.305/Roslyn/bincore/VBCSCompiler.dll -pipename:IBB6DjyJjtltr35bjiEuT_O5AePjFZHqgj3RRFZeX_8 (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

User Story

As a developer
I want a properly structured .NET 8.0 solution following Clean Architecture
So that the codebase is maintainable, testable, and follows best practices

Acceptance Criteria (BDD Scenarios)

Scenario 1: Solution structure follows Clean Architecture

Given I am setting up a new .NET 8.0 solution
When I create the solution and project files
Then the solution should have the following projects:

• AncientWisdom.Domain (no external dependencies)
• AncientWisdom.Application (depends on Domain)
• AncientWisdom.Infrastructure (depends on Domain)
• AncientWisdom.API (depends on Application + Infrastructure)
  And each project should target .NET 8.0
  And all projects should compile successfully

Scenario 2: Domain project has no external dependencies

Given the Domain project is created
When I inspect the Domain project file
Then it should have ZERO NuGet package dependencies
And it should only contain C# language features
And it should define core entities and interfaces

Scenario 3: Test projects are configured correctly

Given the solution is created
When I add test projects
Then the solution should include:

• AncientWisdom.UnitTests (xUnit + FluentAssertions + Moq)
• AncientWisdom.IntegrationTests (xUnit + WebApplicationFactory)
• AncientWisdom.BDD.Tests (SpecFlow + xUnit)
  And all test projects should reference appropriate application projects
  And test projects should include necessary testing NuGet packages

Scenario 4: Infrastructure project has EF Core configured

Given the Infrastructure project is created
When I add database dependencies
Then the project should include:

• Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore (version 8.0.x)
• Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer (version 8.0.x)
• Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools (version 8.0.x)
  And the project should have a placeholder ApplicationDbContext.cs class
  And the DbContext should inherit from DbContext

Scenario 5: API project is configured for ASP.NET Core Web API

Given the API project is created
When I configure the Web API project
Then the project should include:

• Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi for Swagger
• Swashbuckle.AspNetCore for API documentation
• Serilog.AspNetCore for logging
  And the Program.cs should configure Swagger/OpenAPI
  And the project should have a Health Check endpoint configured
