<#
 .Synopsis
  Use NAV/BC Container to Compile App
 .Description
 .Parameter containerName
  Name of the container which you want to use to compile the app
 .Parameter tenant
  tenant to use if container is multitenant
 .Parameter credential
  Credentials of the SUPER user if using NavUserPassword authentication
 .Parameter appProjectFolder
  Location of the project. This folder (or any of its parents) needs to be shared with the container.
 .Parameter appOutputFolder
  Folder in which the output will be placed. This folder (or any of its parents) needs to be shared with the container. Default is $appProjectFolder\output.
 .Parameter appSymbolsFolder
  Folder in which the symbols of dependent apps will be placed. This folder (or any of its parents) needs to be shared with the container. Default is $appProjectFolder\symbols.
 .Parameter appName
  File name of the app. Default is to compose the file name from publisher_appname_version from app.json.
 .Parameter UpdateSymbols
  Add this switch to indicate that you want to force the download of symbols for all dependent apps.
 .Parameter CopySymbolsFromContainer
  Add this switch to copy system and base application symbols from container to speed up symbol download.
 .Parameter CopyAppToSymbolsFolder
  Add this switch to copy the compiled app to the appSymbolsFolder.
 .Parameter GenerateReportLayout
  Add this switch to invoke report layout generation during compile. Default is default alc.exe behavior, which is to generate report layout
 .Parameter AzureDevOps
  Add this switch to convert the output to Azure DevOps Build Pipeline compatible output
 .Parameter EnableCodeCop
  Add this switch to Enable CodeCop to run
 .Parameter EnableAppSourceCop
  Add this switch to Enable AppSourceCop to run
 .Parameter EnablePerTenantExtensionCop
  Add this switch to Enable PerTenantExtensionCop to run
 .Parameter EnableUICop
  Add this switch to Enable UICop to run
 .Parameter RulesetFile
  Specify a ruleset file for the compiler
 .Parameter Failon
  Specify if you want Compilation to fail on Error or Warning
 .Parameter nowarn
  Specify a nowarn parameter for the compiler
 .Parameter bcAuthContext
  Authorization Context created by New-BcAuthContext. By specifying BcAuthContext and environment, the compile function will use the online Business Central Environment as target for the compilation
 .Parameter environment
  Environment to use for the compilation.
 .Parameter assemblyProbingPaths
  Specify a comma separated list of paths to include in the search for dotnet assemblies for the compiler
 .Parameter OutputTo
  Compiler output is sent to this scriptblock for output. Default value for the scriptblock is: { Param($line) Write-Host $line }
 .Example
  Compile-AppInBcContainer -containerName test -credential $credential -appProjectFolder "C:\Users\freddyk\Documents\AL\Test"
 .Example
  Compile-AppInBcContainer -containerName test -appProjectFolder "C:\Users\freddyk\Documents\AL\Test"
 .Example
  Compile-AppInBcContainer -containerName test -appProjectFolder "C:\Users\freddyk\Documents\AL\Test" -outputTo { Param($line) if ($line -notlike "*sourcepath=C:\Users\freddyk\Documents\AL\Test\Org\*") { Write-Host $line } }
