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

Task("Build-Solution").Does(() => { var logPath = @"c:\build\msbuild.binlog"; var repoRootPath = @"c:\repo"; // Build solution. 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.Tools.Resolve("Cake.Issues.MsBuild*/**/StructuredLogger.dll"), "", logPath.FullPath) }); // Read issues. var issues = ReadIssues( MsBuildIssuesFromFilePath(logPath, MsBuildBinaryLogFileFormat), repoRootPath); Information("{0} issues are found.", issues.Count()); });
