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.

After adding the addin the log file of a MsBuild build can be parsed:

[TaskName("Build-Solution")]
public sealed class BuildSolutionTask : FrostingTask<BuildContext>
{
    public override void Run(BuildContext context)
    {
        var logPath = @"c:\build\msbuild.binlog";
        var repoRootPath = @"c:\repo";

        // Build solution.
        context.DotNetBuild(
            repoRootPath.CombineWithFilePath("MySolution.sln"),
            new DotNetBuildSettings
            {
                MSBuildSettings =
                    new DotNetMSBuildSettings()
                        // Ensures that binary log version is written in a version compatible with Cake.Issues.MsBuild.
                        .WithLogger(
                            "BinaryLogger," + context.Environment.ApplicationRoot.CombineWithFilePath("StructuredLogger.dll"),
                            "",
                            logPath.FullPath)
            });

        // Read issues.
        var issues =
            context.ReadIssues(
                context.MsBuildIssuesFromFilePath(logPath, context.MsBuildBinaryLogFileFormat),
                repoRootPath);

        context.Information("{0} issues are found.", issues.Count());
    }
}
