How to use

Integrating Cake.Issues into your Cake build is straightforward. With minimal setup, teams can enjoy the benefits of enhanced code quality management seamlessly integrated into their existing build pipeline.

NOTE: Cake.Issues.Recipe for Cake .NET Tool and Cake.Frosting.Issues.Recipe provide a single NuGet package, which can be used inside your projects build to add fully flavored issue management, including parsing of linter outputs, integration with build systems and pull requests and creation of different reports.

Reading issues

The addin provides the ReadIssues alias to read issues. It needs an additional NuGet package to provide the specific issue provider implementation:

See Issue Providers for a list of available issue providers and detailed documentation.

Creating issues

To create issues directly in the build script the NewIssue alias can be used:

[TaskName("Create-Issue")]
public sealed class CreateIssueTask : FrostingTask<BuildContext>
{
    public override void Run(BuildContext context)
    {
        var issue =
            context
                .NewIssue(
                    "Something went wrong",
                    "MyCakeScript",
                    "My Cake Script")
                .WithMessageInHtmlFormat("Something went <b>wrong</b>")
                .WithMessageInMarkdownFormat("Something went **wrong**")
                .InFile("myfile.txt", 42)
                .WithPriority(IssuePriority.Warning)
                .Create();

        context.Information("Issue created with message: {0}", issues.MessageText);
    }
}

Creating reports

Issue reports can be created using any of the available Report Format addin together with the Cake.Issues.Reporting addin for Cake .NET Tool or Cake.Frosting.Issues.Reporting addin for Cake Frosting.

Reporting issues to pull requests and build systems
