The NuGet Gallery will soon include a "Cake" tab with instructions on how to use NuGet packages in Cake build scripts. I'd like to suggest that you include the tag cake-addin in the NuGet package of this addin, so that the NuGet Gallery can display the correct instructions to install this addin.

The UI will look similar to this:

Documentation on best practices on tags for Cake addins: https://cakebuild.net/docs/extending/addins/best-practices#tags

@abeggchr are you still in a position to maintain this addin?

During the recent audit, it was found that this addin is targetting 0.15.0 of Cake (which is quite a few releases behind). If you are no longer in a position to maintain this addin, would you be interested in moving it to the Cake-Contrib Organisation, where it could be opened up to the Community?

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

• docs/input/_Bottom.cshtml

Currently the coverage is around 73% and GradleRunnerAlias.cs is not covered at all.

Currently to pass properties, the syntax is something like:

Gradle
        .FromPath(BuildParameters.SourceDirectoryPath)
        .WithTask("buildPlugin")
        .WithArguments($"-PpluginVersion=\"{buildVersion.SemVersion}\"")
        .Run(); 

it would be much more easy and readable to have something like:

Gradle
        .FromPath(BuildParameters.SourceDirectoryPath)
        .WithTask("buildPlugin")
        .WithProperty("pluginVersion", buildVersion.SemVersion)
        .Run(); 

The current NuGet.org page looks a bit "empty" without one.

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.

Running the demo is fine, when gradle is installed globally.
However, it seems that gradlew is not properly picked up.

A gradle wrapper (the gradlew.bat /gradlew file in the /example) directory is not used but only the gradle.bat/gradle from the PATH.

Expected behavior: use the wrapper from the project directory if available.

• compatibility is outdated
• usage does not show nuget, but a local reference

virtual environment is not pinned.

Also, there was a warning before the error started:

1 issue was detected with this workflow: git checkout HEAD^2 is no longer necessary. Please remove this step as Code Scanning recommends analyzing the merge commit for best results.

Before setting up a new AppVeyor project for this repository, I think we should take the opportunity to rename the repository so that it is consistent with others in this Organisation.

i.e. suggesting we change:

cake-gradle

to

Cake.Gradle

Currently the only documentation is ReadMe.md and cakebuild.net API

A wyam-generated documentation, hosted using GitHub Pages would be nice.

The addin contains XML comments for aliases, but doesn't ship with the documentation XML file. Therefore comments can't be shown on Cake website (e.g. https://cakebuild.net/extensions/cake-gradle/).
To have aliases documented on the Cake website the NuGet package needs to ship with the documentation XML in the NuGet package.

• (codecov)[https://codecov.io/gh/cake-contrib/Cake.Gradle] shows nothing (though commits are listed), clicking on a commit shows There was an error processing coverage reports.
• (coveralls)[https://coveralls.io/github/cake-contrib/cake-gradle] shows %0 coverage. As with codecov, the builds are listed but the report seemingly contains no data.

I.e. When setting a deployment token for the JetBrains Marketplace the syntax is

-Dorg.gradle.project.intellijPublishToken=YOUR_HUB_TOKEN_HERE

however the token should not be visible in the logs.

Something like

.WithSystemProperty("org.gradle.project.intellijPublishToken", "YOUR_HUB_TOKEN_HERE", true)

where the last part (true) would mean that the token should be secret would be good.

Also, usage in Frosting is not documented.

This is just a suggestion, but think it would be a really good idea, to help with visibility of this addin.

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!

Instead of copying the sources manually.

https://www.nuget.org/packages/LitJson.Source/0.19.0-alpha0027

currently, if gradle is installed on the system and no gradlew is present in the project either gradle.bat or gradle are run (depending on windows/no windows).

If gradle was installed using chocolatey gradle is present, however it is available via a gradle.exe-shim and so Cake.Gradle reports Gradle Runner: Could not locate executable.

Also fix the (currently 216) build warnings

running Gradle like:

Gradle
    .WithArguments("-PpluginVersion=\"3.2.1\"")
    .WithArguments("-Dorg.gradle.project.intellijPublishToken=\"YOUR_HUB_TOKEN_HERE\"")
    .Run();

Should result in one arguement line like -PpluginVersion="3.2.1" -Dorg.gradle.project.intellijPublishToken="YOUR_HUB_TOKEN_HERE" but instead it will only show the last argument.

To take advantage of updating of issues when milestone is closed, and also so apply a SHA to all uploaded artifacts in the GitHub Release.

We've been using GitHub Discussions as the preferred communication channel (instead of Gitter) because it makes it easier to keep track of discussions in a structured way, especially if multiple discussions are happening at the same time. It also allows to search for previous questions/answers, which can be a helpful resource.

As such, we're recommending addin maintainers to mention the GitHub discussion in their README and update links to Gitter (if any) to point to the GH discussions.

Template:

## Discussion

For questions and to discuss ideas & feature requests, use the [GitHub discussions on the Cake GitHub repository](https://github.com/cake-build/cake/discussions), under the [Extension Q&A](https://github.com/cake-build/cake/discussions/categories/extension-q-a) category.

Remove PackageIcon and PackageIconUrl - both are now set automatically
probably fix some warnings.

Cake 2.0.0 has been released 🎉

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:

• We were unable to determine what version of Cake.Core your addin is referencing. Please make sure you are referencing 0.28.0
• The Cake.Core reference should be private. Specifically, your addin's .csproj should have a line similar to this: <PackageReference Include="Cake.Core" Version="0.28.0" PrivateAssets="All" />
• Your addin should target netstandard2.0. Please note that there is no need to multi-target, netstandard2.0 is sufficient.
• 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.

In Mac/Linux, sometimes we need to give permission to gradlew, this logic should be included the Run function.

Current situation:

• Either Gradle has to be installed on the system or the project needs a Gradle wrapper (gradlew)

Acceptance criteria:

• No installation or Gradle wrapper is required
• Cake loads Gradle to the /tools/ folder and uses this version

But:

• How to specify the version

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!
