#Cake
Cake (C# Make) is a build automation system with a C# DSL to do things like compiling code, copy files/folders, running unit tests, compress files and build NuGet packages.
You can read the latest documentation at http://cakebuild.net/.
This example dowloads the Cake bootstrapper and executes a simple build script. The bootstrapper is used to bootstrap Cake in a simple way and is not in required in any way to execute build scripts. If you prefer to invoke the Cake executable yourself, take a look at the command line usage.
This example is also available on our homepage: http://cakebuild.net/docs/tutorials/setting-up-a-new-project
The bootstrapper is used to download Cake and the tools required by the build script.
Invoke-WebRequest http://cakebuild.net/download/bootstrapper/windows -OutFile build.ps1
curl -Lsfo build.sh http://cakebuild.net/download/bootstrapper/linux
curl -Lsfo build.sh http://cakebuild.net/download/bootstrapper/osx
Add a cake script called build.cake
to the same location as the
bootstrapper script that you downloaded.
var target = Argument("target", "Default");
Task("Default")
.Does(() =>
{
Information("Hello World!");
});
RunTarget(target);
# Execute the bootstrapper script.
./build.ps1
# Adjust the permissions for the bootstrapper script.
chmod +x build.sh
# Execute the bootstrapper script.
./build.sh
