This blogpost is a follow up to these Cake (C# Make) related blogpost:
Scenario
Let’s say we have this project structure. The “Config”, “Result” and “Engine” projects contains a corresponding .nuspec, like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?><package><metadata><id>Sloader.Config</id><version>0.1.0</version><title>Sloader.Config</title><authors>Code Inside Team</authors><owners>Code Inside Team</owners><licenseUrl>https://github.com/Code-Inside/Sloader/blob/master/LICENSE</licenseUrl><projectUrl>https://github.com/Code-Inside/Sloader</projectUrl><requireLicenseAcceptance>false</requireLicenseAcceptance><description>Sloader Config</description><releaseNotes>
## Version 0.1 ##
Init</releaseNotes><copyright>Copyright 2017</copyright><tags>Sloader</tags><dependencies/></metadata></package>Nothing fancy - pretty normal NuGet stuff.
Goal
The goal is to create a NuGet package for each target project with Cake.
build.cake
The usage in Cake is pretty much the same as with the normal nuget.exe pack command The sample only shows the actual cake target - see the older blogposts for a more complete example:
Task("BuildPackages")
.IsDependentOn("Restore-NuGet-Packages")
.IsDependentOn("RunTests")
.Does(() =>
{
var nuGetPackSettings = new NuGetPackSettings
{
OutputDirectory = rootAbsoluteDir + @"\artifacts\",
IncludeReferencedProjects = true,
Properties = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "Configuration", "Release" }
}
};
NuGetPack("./src/Sloader.Config/Sloader.Config.csproj", nuGetPackSettings);
NuGetPack("./src/Sloader.Result/Sloader.Result.csproj", nuGetPackSettings);
NuGetPack("./src/Sloader.Engine/Sloader.Engine.csproj", nuGetPackSettings);
});
Easy, right? The most interesting part here is the NuGetPack command.
Result
The console output should make the flow pretty clear:
