Add .cake extension for C#

[Redth]

This adds the .cake file extension to the C# language.

Here is a search in the wild: https://github.com/search?q=extension%3Acake+NOT+coffee&type=Code

Cake (C# Make) is a cross platform 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 find out out more about cake here: http://cakebuild.net/

The first extension should be the primary one, .cs ;)

[Redth]

Thanks, I had assumed entirely alphabetical, fixed now :)

[pchaigno]

Using your search query, I found that there are 116 projects that use Cake files dispatched among 61 users. Not sure that it will be enough to make it a language in Linguist.

@pchaigno if it's any help, support for cake was merged into Atom already atom/language-csharp#30

[pchaigno]

support for cake was merged into Atom already

Does that mean that Cake doesn't have the same syntax as C#?

[Redth]

It was added with the same syntax as C#. Cake is in fact C# (cake scripts are run under the roslyn script host engine - mono script host on mac/unix). Cake does contain a few more possible preprocessor directives but the syntax highlighting is the same as normal C#.

[pchaigno]

I see, it's a second grammar file referring the C# one. We'll have to declare Cake as a second file with C# as the parent language (meaning Cake will be displayed as C# but we'll be able to use a different grammar file for it).

First we should make sure that 116 projects with Cake files is enough... @arfon?

[Redth]

Hmm, I didn't realize that this already exists: /vendor/grammars/language-csharp/source.cake

Does that make things easier?

EDIT: Looks like @arfon already added this? 0a6165c

[pchaigno]

Does that make things easier?

Yes, we won't have to add the grammar but we'll still have to declare a separate language.

EDIT: Looks like @arfon already added this? 0a6165c

That's just because he updated the grammar submodule ;)

@pchaigno @arfon I was just wondering what the status of this is? After yesterday's announcements, Cake is now a first class citizen in both the VS Code and Visual Studio Team Services (formerly VSO) extension galleries:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/cake-build.cake-vscode
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/cake-build.cake

Just wondering if this helps the case for getting this support included.

Thanks @Redth - I've got an updated version of this Pull Request going in #2733
