Package installer for installing tools using the dotnet CLI.
The following URI parameters are supported by the dotnet package installer.
Source
This is not a named parameter, but it is permitted as per the URI definition. By default, the dotnet CLI will attempt to install tools from nuget.org. If the package is hosted on another feed the installation source can be overridden.
Example
#tool dotnet:https://www.myget.org/F/cake-build/api/v2?package=Octopus.DotNet.Cli
Package
The name of the .NET Tool that should be installed.
Example
#tool dotnet:?package=Octopus.DotNet.Cli
Version
The specific version of the .NET Tool that should be installed. If not provided, the dotnet CLI will install the latest package version that is available.
Example
#tool dotnet:?package=Octopus.DotNet.Cli&version=4.41.0
Global
By default, a tool will be installed to the configured Cake Tools folder.
If the tool should be installed globally on the machine, the global parameter need to be passed.
Example
#tool dotnet:?package=Octopus.DotNet.Cli&version=4.41.0&global
Config File
Allows to specify a NuGet config to use for example to authenticate to a particular feed.
Example
#tool dotnet:?package=Octopus.DotNet.Cli&version=4.41.0&configfile="../../NuGet.config"
Ignore failed sources
Ignores failed NuGet sources as long as the package could be restored.
Example
#tool dotnet:?package=Octopus.DotNet.Cli&version=4.41.0&ignore-failed-sources"
Framework
Specifies the target framework to install the tool for. By default, the .NET Core SDK tries to choose the most appropriate target framework.
Example
#tool dotnet:?package=Octopus.DotNet.Cli&version=4.41.0&framework=net472
Diagnostic
Logging verbosity of the underlying dotnet command can be altered through the verbosity of the Cake execution.
Alternatively the Show Process Command Line configuration value can be set to show the executed command, even without diagnostic verbosity.
Example
./build.sh --verbosity=diagnostic
