Is it possible to open a C# solution in Rider via the command line?

Question

It's possible with VS code via installing a shell command, as seen in this SO question: How to open Visual Studio Code from the command line on OSX?

Is the same thing possible with Jetbrain's Rider?

Answer 1

It is possible to open any file, folder, or solution and project in Rider for editing. Here is a corresponding help page. If you use a standalone Rider, you need to create a shell script. Call the action "Tools | Create Command-Line Launcher...". Then you will be able to call rider in a terminal as the shell script is by default created in /usr/local/bin. In the case of using Toolbox installations, all scripts should be generated using Toolbox. Take a look at Create Command-line Launcher Intellij not found to find out how to set it in Toolbox.

Rider, in my case at least, and I installed it on Linux via snap, comes with a built-in rider command. It does open Rider, however, the issue is that the terminal becomes an output for logs from Rider. Additionally, as soon as I close the terminal, Rider gets closed as well. I guess the Rider process becomes a child process of the shell instance that I used to invoke it.
