cake-vso

Cake integration for Azure DevOps.

This extension contains a custom build task that runs Cake build scripts for you.

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.

Run Cake scripts easily

The Cake Azure DevOps build tasks makes it easy to run a Cake script directly without having to invoke PowerShell or other commands line scripts. This makes it easy even for team members not familiar with Cake to add or adjust parameters passed to your build scripts.

How to use the build task

After installing this extension, a new task will become available called "Cake Task" when you add a new build step for a build definition.

Add Cake Task

By default, the Cake build step (when added to a build) will try to run the build.cake build script (found in the root of your repository) with the target Default. If you wish to run another build script or build target you can change this in the build step settings.
