The MsBuild support for the Cake.Issues addin for Cake allows you to read issues logged as warnings in a MsBuild log. This addin provides the aliases for reading MsBuild warnings and providing them to the Cake.Issues addin. It also requires the core Cake.Issues addin. There are also additional addins for generating reports or posting issues to pull requests. See the Project Site for an overview of the whole ecosystem of addins for working with issues in Cake scripts. NOTE: This is the version of the addin compatible with Cake Script Runners. For addin compatible with Cake Frosting see Cake.Frosting.Issues.MsBuild.

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:
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());
});
