First of all, I wanted to thank you for adding to the Cake community by adding this addin.

I was just wondering if you had seen this blog post:

http://cakebuild.net/blog/2016/08/cake-contribution-organization

We are currently going through a process of increasing the visibility of addins, and also trying to ensure their long term maintainability.

To that end, we are asking addin creators to add the cake-contrib user on NuGet as a co-owner (this can be done through the NuGet website by clicking on Manage Owners on the package page).

Would you be interested in doing this for Cake.AWS.CloudFront? If you have any questions about this, please let me know. There was some initial concern that the Cake Team were trying to "take over" packages, and that couldn't be further from the truth, and if you have this concern, or others, I would like to address them.

Thanks!

We performed an automated audit of your Cake addin and found that it does not follow all the best practices.

We encourage you to make the following modifications:

• The nuget package for your addin should use the cake-contrib icon. Specifically, your addin's .csproj should have a line like this: <PackageIconUrl>https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/cake-contrib/graphics/png/cake-contrib-medium.png</PackageIconUrl>.

Apologies if this is already being worked on, or if there are existing open issues, this issue was created based on what is currently published for this package on NuGet.

This issue was created by a tool: Cake.AddinDiscoverer version 3.12.1

Shouldn't the iconFile attribute be set to a path relative to the FromDirectory parameter? Is there perhaps some option for this I am missing? I tried setting the WorkingDirectory as well, but that didn't help either.

Moves Cake.Mage to .netstandard
Switches to packageReference
Supports .netstandard 2.0 and .net 4.6.1.

The Discussion platform for Cake-Contrib has been moved from Gitter to GitHub Discussion (see cake-build/website#1470).
Please check this repo for references to Gitte and replace them accordingly.

Search suggests that references could be in

• README.md
• docs/input/blog/new-release-0.3.0.md

When only .NET Framework 4.7.2 is installed Cake.Mage tool cannot find mage.exe file. It would be nice to have a generic way to resolve tool path rather than have all possible paths hardcoded.

Update build script

Currently there aren't paths for .NET 4.8 SDK Tools in DotNetToolResolver.
Also, I would like to add diagnostic logging of a tool lookup in SDK folders.

We performed an automated audit of your Cake addin and found that it does not follow all the best practices.

We encourage you to make the following modifications:

• You are currently referencing Cake.Core 0.18.0. Please upgrade to 0.28.0
• Your addin should target netstandard2.0. Please note that there is no need to multi-target, netstandard2.0 is sufficient.
• The nuget package for your addin should use the cake-contrib icon. Specifically, your addin's .csproj should have a line like this: <PackageIconUrl>https://cdn.rawgit.com/cake-contrib/graphics/a5cf0f881c390650144b2243ae551d5b9f836196/png/cake-contrib-medium.png</PackageIconUrl>.
• There should be a YAML file describing your addin on the cake web site. Specifically, you should add a .yml file in this repo

Apologies if this is already being worked on, or if there are existing open issues, this issue was created based on what is currently published for this package on NuGet.org and in the project on github.

Update to .net 8 and cake 4.0.0

i.e. get your addin listed here:

http://cakebuild.net/addins

Have a look at this PR:

cake-build/website#152

This assumes that you have added XML Documentation to your addin, as described here:

http://cakebuild.net/docs/contributing/documentation

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

@enkafan Would you be interested in me adding it to this repository?

The benefits would be...

• a single place to control all the builds in the cake-contrib organisation
• access to notifications on twitter and gitter when new releases are available

Things that Cake.Recipe already does:

• Version with GitVersion
• Build
• Compile
• Run Unit Tests
• Submit results to coveralls.io
• NuGet Package everything
• Upload all artifacts to AppVeyor
• Runs DupFinder
• Runs InspectCode
• Handles publishing to both MyGet and NuGet (for interim releases)
• Runs GitLink, meaning that addin code is debuggable doing debug session in visual studio when debugging build.cake
• Documentation Website generation using Wyam

Probably other stuff that I have forgotten.

The main thing being, if we add something to Cake.Recipe, then all projects that are already using Cake.Recipe should be able to immediately take advantage of it.

Thoughts? If you were interested, would you be happy to have me make the changes directly to repo, or would you prefer it as a PR?

First of all thanks for this nice add-in...

I'm not sure about this one:
But when I create a new deployment using "Install = true", I get
<deployment install="false" minimumRequiredVersion="2.6.0.27877">
in my .application file.

I checked your code and it omits the switch, if the default (true) is specified.
I also checked the mage documentation from MS and this indeed says, that true is the default...

When I explicitly set the install switch, i get the expected result.

So I'm not sure, if I'm doing something wrong, or if the documentation of the default value in the mage documentation is wrong...

Thanks again for creating this Cake Addin, we really appreciate the effort that you have put in to creating it.

We, the Cake Team, recently announced a new Cake Contrib Icon, details of which can be found here:

http://cakebuild.net/blog/2017/06/new-cake-contrib-icon

Would you consider changing the nuspec file for your NuGet Package to use this new Cake Contrib Icon? If so, the recommended URL to use is:

https://cdn.rawgit.com/cake-contrib/graphics/a5cf0f881c390650144b2243ae551d5b9f836196/png/cake-contrib-medium.png

Details of the above URL can be found in the repository here:

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi, I upgraded Cake a got this message:

Installing addins...

I am using this code to add Cake.Make:

#tool nuget:?package=Cake.Mage&prerelease
#reference ../../tools/cake.mage/Cake.Mage/lib/net45/Cake.Mage.dll

It worked so far. Will there be a new release of Cake.Mage?

Hi,
Setup.exe which is generated when published from Visual Studio doesn't get generated using Mage, is there something i am missing in configuration?

Thanks

Some paths aren't meant to be absolute: AppCodeBaseFilePath, AppManifest and IconFile hence use relative path - whatever FilePath.FullPath returns that is.
Note, this is a BREAKING change

Should fix #4
