Create a sample .NET Core console app

1. Initialize a new console app

   $ dotnet new console -o ConsoleApp && cd ConsoleApp

2. Run your app and verify that it prints "Hello World!"

   $ dotnet restore && dotnet run

Add Airbrake notifier and test exception reporting

1. Add the Sharpbrake.Client dependency in ConsoleApp.csproj

   $ cat ConsoleApp.csproj

   <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
   
     <PropertyGroup>
       <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
       <TargetFramework>netcoreapp1.1</TargetFramework>
     </PropertyGroup>
   
     <ItemGroup>
       <PackageReference Include="Sharpbrake.Client" Version="4.0.1" />
     </ItemGroup>
   
   </Project>

2. Integrate Sharpbrake.Client with your app

   $ cat Program.cs

   using System;
   using Sharpbrake.Client;
   
   namespace ConsoleApp
   {
       class Program
       {
           public static void Main(string[] args)
           {
               var airbrake = new AirbrakeNotifier(new AirbrakeConfig
               {
                   ProjectId = "113743",
                   ProjectKey = "81bbff95d52f8856c770bb39e827f3f6"
               });
   
               try
               {
                   throw new Exception("Oops!");
               }
               catch (Exception ex)
               {
                   var notice = airbrake.BuildNotice(ex);
                   var response = airbrake.NotifyAsync(notice).Result;
                   Console.WriteLine("Status: {0}, Id: {1}, Url: {2}", response.Status, response.Id, response.Url);
               }
           }
       }
   }

3. Run the app

   $ dotnet restore && dotnet run

   The app should print a URL to your exception in the Airbrake dashboard.
