[feature]: Provide an option to skip the kubeops CLI during build

[robertcoltheart]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Previously you could use the KubeOpsSkipOperator project properties to control if the CLI runs or not

Describe the solution you would like

Ideally a project property that can disable the CLI during build

Hey @robertcoltheart
Thanks for the issue, this was removed in the big refactoring for V8.

However as a workaround, you can just not install the CLI tool, then the cli will not run.
Or you could overwrite the "KubeOpsCli" prop to something that does not exist.

In the build targets file:

<Target Name="GenerateKustomizationConfig" DependsOnTargets="BaseConfig">
        <Message Text="Generating Kustomization Configuration" Importance="high" />
        <Message Text="Configuration path: $(KubeOpsConfigOut)" Importance="normal" />
        <Exec Command="$(KubeOpsCli) generate operator --out $(KubeOpsConfigOut) $(OperatorName) $(MSBuildProjectFullPath)" />
    </Target>

    <Target Name="GenerateOperatorResources"
            AfterTargets="CopyFilesToOutputDirectory"
            DependsOnTargets="BaseConfig"
            Condition="'$(OutputType.ToLowerInvariant())' == 'exe' And ('$(KubeOpsAssemblyTimestampBeforeCompile)' != '$(KubeOpsAssemblyTimestampAfterCompile)' Or '$(Configuration)' == 'Release')">
        <Exec IgnoreExitCode="true" StandardOutputImportance="low" StandardErrorImportance="low"
              Command="$(KubeOpsCli) -h">
            <Output TaskParameter="ExitCode" PropertyName="CliInstalled" />
        </Exec>
        <Message Importance="high" Condition="$(CliInstalled) == 1"
                 Text="KubeOps CLI is not installed as tool, cannot generate stuff for projects. Please install it with 'dotnet tool install KubeOps.Cli' to use automatic build generation." />
        <CallTarget ContinueOnError="true"
                    Targets="GenerateKustomizationConfig"
                    Condition="$(CliInstalled) == 0" />
    </Target>

Yeah, i've removed the tool for now, and that seems to solve the issue. There is a bit of a pause during the build while it tries to find the CLI, but its acceptable.
