Cake command always returns with error
Closed this issue · 2 comments
For some reason when using Squirrel in Cake I always get an error after 1.5 minutes (very consistently). However, it seems like the Setup.exe is created correctly.
Executing task: create-squirrel-installer
Executing: "C:/vcs/git/survey-app3/Script/tools/squirrel.windows/tools/Squirrel.exe" --releasify C:/vcs/git/survey-app3/artifacts/SurveyOffice.0.1.0.nupkg
An error occurred when executing task 'create-squirrel-installer'.
Squirrel.exe threw an error, Setup.exe might still be ok

Currently I've just told my cake script to ignore that error.
It should be noted, when I run the command directly from CMD or PowerShell it returns immediately and builds the Setup file in the background.
Oh yeah, the line "Squirrel.exe threw an error..." is something I output myself, just to not confuse you.
Ultimately, I don't know if this is actually an error with Cake.Squirrel but rather Squirrel.exe that returns prematurely. Is there a way to observe whether the process actually exits or get some status of what Squirrel.exe is doing? It seems so silent.
OK. Non issue. I was using special characters in the NuGet Description, which WiX does not seem to like...
After changing those, it seems to work just fine.
