#Cake

Cake (C# Make) is a 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.

##Roadmap

The Cake engine is pretty much done, but there are still improvements to be made. I'm still experimenting with the script API to make it as easy and intuitive as possible, so expect changes along the road.

A roadmap can be found here.

##Example

###1. Download Cake

C:\Project> NuGet.exe install Cake -OutputDirectory Tools -ExcludeVersion

###2. Create build script

var target = Argument("target", "NuGet");
var configuration = Argument("configuration", "Release");

Task("Clean")
    .Does(() =>
{
    // Clean directories.
    CleanDirectory("./build");
    CleanDirectory("./build/bin");
    CleanDirectories("./src/**/bin/" + configuration);
});

Task("Restore-NuGet-Packages")
    .IsDependentOn("Clean")
    .Does(context =>
{
    // Restore NuGet packages.
    NuGetRestore("./src/Cake.sln");    
});

Task("Build")
    .IsDependentOn("Restore-NuGet-Packages")
    .Does(() =>
{
    MSBuild("./src/Cake.sln", s => 
        s.SetConfiguration(configuration));
});

Task("Unit-Tests")
    .IsDependentOn("Build")
    .Does(() =>
{
    XUnit("./src/**/bin/" + configuration + "/*.Tests.dll");
});

Task("Copy-Files")
    .IsDependentOn("Unit-Tests")
    .Does(() =>
{
    var sourcePath = "./src/Cake/bin/" + configuration;    
    var files = GetFiles(sourcePath + "/**/*.dll") + GetFiles(sourcePath + "/**/*.exe");
    var destinationPath = "./build/bin";

    CopyFiles(files, destinationPath);
});

Task("Pack")
    .IsDependentOn("Copy-Files")
    .Does(() =>
{   
    var root = "./build/bin";
    var output = "./build/" + configuration + ".zip";

    Zip(root, output);
});

Task("NuGet")
    .Description("Create NuGet package")
    .IsDependentOn("Pack")
    .Does(() =>
{
    // Create NuGet package.
    NuGetPack("./Cake.nuspec", new NuGetPackSettings {
        Version = "0.1.0",
        BasePath = "./build/bin",
        OutputDirectory = "./build",
        NoPackageAnalysis = true
    });
});

RunTarget(target);

###3. Run build script

C:\Project\Tools\Cake> Cake.exe ../../build.csx -verbosity=verbose -target=Pack

Bootstrapper

The Cake Bootstrapper is a Powershell cmdlet that helps you set up a new Cake build by downloading dependencies, setting up the bootstrapper script and creating a Cake build script.
