CommonBuildTasks

A collection of common build tasks for cake. This a allow you to create super simple build files. But therefore it is less configurable.

Sample

Add the following lines to you build scripts after restoring cake

./build.sh

mono $NUGET_EXE install CommonBuildTasks -Prerelease -ExcludeVersion -Out $TOOLS_DIR

./build.ps1

Invoke-Expression "$NUGET_EXE install CommonBuildTasks -Prerelease -ExcludeVersion -Out $TOOLS_DIR"

After this you can simply load the script within your cake file.

#l tools\CommonBuildTasks\content\shared.cake

// Set your solution file
Solution = "Sample.sln"

NuSpecs.Add("Sample.nuspec");

// Execution
RunTarget(Target);

Per default the following steps are run: clean, restore, update-version, build, test, pack, doc. If one of the steps is not applyable for the project, the step is skipped.
