If you like or are using this project please give it a star. Thanks!

Getting started 🚀

Simply add Cake.Args in your build script by using the addin directive:

#addin "nuget:?package=Cake.Args&version=3.0.0"

Make sure the &version= attribute references the latest version of Cake.Args compatible with the Cake runner that you are using. Check the compatibility table to see which version of Cake.Args to choose.

And you're ready to use the arguments extensions in your Cake build script:

#addin "nuget:?package=Cake.Args&version=3.0.0"

var configuration =
    ArgumentOrDefault<string>("configuration") ??
    ArgumentOrDefault<string>("config") ??
    "Release";

var majorVersion =
    ArgumentOrDefault<int?>("majorVersion") ??
    ArgumentOrDefault<int?>("major");

Task("Example")
    .Does(context =>
{
    var settings = new DotNetBuildSettings
    {
        Configuration = configuration,
    };

    if (majorVersion.HasValue)
    {
        settings.VersionSuffix = $"{majorVersion}.0.0";
    }

    DotNetBuild("./MyProject.sln", settings);
});

RunTarget("Example");
