A .NET Core host for Cake, that allows you to write your build scripts as a
(portable) console application (netcoreapp1.1 or net461). Frosting is currently
in alpha, but more information, documentation and samples will be added soon.
Expect things to move around initially. Especially naming of things.
You can find the SDK at https://www.microsoft.com/net/download/core.
Cake.Frosting is currently in preview, so you will have to specify the template version explicitly.
> dotnet new --install Cake.Frosting.Template::0.1.0-*
Now it's time to create a new Frosting project.
Go to the repository where you want to add a new Frosting build script and run the following command:
> dotnet new cakefrosting
Now you should be able to run your newly created builds script.
> ./build.ps1NOTE: You're not supposed to commit the produced binaries to your repository.
The above command is what you're expected to run from your bootstrapper.
To build from source, you will need to have .NET Core SDK 1.0.4 installed on your machine.
If you want to develop using Visual Studio, then you need to use Visual Studio 2017 (15.2) or higher.
The API for configuring and running the host have been heavily influenced by the ASP.NET Core hosting API.
