I am very proud to announce the first release (version 0.1.0) of the Cake for Rider extension for JetBrains Rider. This extension brings run configurations for Cake tasks, as well a tool window to show Cake scripts and tasks in the project.
Cake Tasks tool window
Cake files in the project are automatically found by extension and their tasks are displayed in a tool window:
Here, a double click on the task will run the task immediately:
Alternatively, the buttons at the top of the tool window can be used to either run the task directly, or create a new run configuration.
Cake run configurations
It is possible to have Cake tasks as run configurations:
The configurations can either be created from an existing Cake task, using the tool window or created manually using the run configuration editor:
Getting started
In Rider, go to File -> Settings -> Plugins -> Marketplace and search for Cake for Rider
