Cake Windows Image Stipping out System Paths from PATH Variable #60
Description
Description
When running any of the Windows cake docker images, the PATH environment variable is not being set correctly and system paths have been stripped. This includes any references to system utilities and Powershell. This prevents the cake tool from being used within build automation (such as GitHub or GitLab) as it relies on Powershell being within the system PATH.
When execing into into a base mcr.microsoft.com/powershell:windowsservercore-ltsc2022 contaioner, the path is
C:\>echo %PATH%
C:\Program Files\PowerShell\latest;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Users\ContainerAdministrator\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;
When execing into a cakebuild/cake:sdk-8.0-windowsservercore-ltsc2022 container, the path is
C:\src>echo %PATH%
/cake_build/tools;/cake_build;;C:\Program Files\dotnet
It appears this is a consequence of https://github.com/cake-build/docker/blob/main/src/Windows.Dockerfile#L11 as the variable references to ${PATH} in line 11 is empty.
Expected Behaviour
The system paths are included in addition to the cake paths in the system PATH variable.
Actual Behaviour
The system paths are overridden by the cake paths in the system PATH variable.
