Welcome to the psake project

---|---|---|---|---|---|
psake is a build automation tool written in PowerShell. It avoids the angle-bracket tax associated with executable XML by leveraging the PowerShell syntax in your build scripts. psake has a syntax inspired by rake (aka make in Ruby) and bake (aka make in Boo), but is easier to script because it leverages your existing command-line knowledge.
psake is pronounced sake โ as in Japanese rice wine. It does NOT rhyme with make, bake, or rake.
How to get started
Step 1: Download and extract the project
You will need to "unblock" the zip file before extracting - PowerShell by default does not run files downloaded from the Internet. Just right-click the zip and click on "properties" and click on the "unblock" button.
Step 2: CD into the directory where you extracted the project (where the psake.psm1 file is)
Import-Module .\psake.psm1
If you encounter the following error "Import-Module : ...psake.psm1 cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system." Please see "get-help about_signing" for more details.
- Run PowerShell as administrator
- Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Get-Help Invoke-psake -Full
- this will show you help and examples of how to use psake
Step 3: Run some examples
CD .\examples
Invoke-psake
- This will execute the "default" task in the "psakefile.ps1"
Invoke-psake .\psakefile.ps1 Clean
- will execute the single task in the psakefile.ps1 script
Step 4: Set your PATH variable
If you wish to use the psake command from outside of the install folder, add the folder install directory to your PATH variable.
Step 5: (With VS2017) Install the VSSetup dependency
psake uses VSSetup to locate msbuild when using Visual Studio 2017. The VSSetup PowerShell module must be installed prior to compiling a VS2017 project with psake. Install instructions for VSSetup can be found here and here.
