Cake tool error missing System.Management.Automation, Version=7.1.2.0

[holytshirt]

Hi, Just want to say thanks for this project!

I saw you updated the powershell addin and just gave it a go and but seem to be getting this error

D:\dev\code\blah\[master ≡ +0 ~1 -1 !]> dotnet cake
Could not load D:\dev\code\blah\tools\Addins\Cake.Powershell.1.0.0\lib\net5.0\Cake.Powershell.dll (missing System.Management.Automation, Version=7.1.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35)

I tried adding System.Management.Automation as a tool but made no difference.

Not sure what I'm doing incorrectly.

hi when you add as addin Cake.Powershell do you also add &loaddependencies=true ?

[holytshirt]

No I don't. Did not know about that. Will try when I'm back on my computer and let you know! Thanks!

I've added System.Management.Automation back to the net46 in v1.0.1, hopefully that solves the problem for you.

I've just double checked this and it works with &loaddependencies=true

I've tested in

PowerShell 7.1.2 &  5.1.19041.610
dotnet cake 1.1.0

With #addin "Cake.Powershell" I get

Could not load D:\dev\blah\blah\tools\Addins\Cake.Powershell.1.0.1\lib\net5.0\Cake.Powershell.dll (missing System.Management.Automation, Version=7.1.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35)
D:/dev/blah/blah/build.cake(166,17): error CS0103: The name 'StartPowershellFile' does not exist in the current context

With #addin nuget:?package=Cake.Powershell&loaddependencies=true It works

Hi, we're using .NET 5, and I just want to continue a little on this thread - adding &loaddependencies=true actually pulls enormous amount of packages under /tools/addins - around 500Mb.

I'm wondering if there is any way to avoid specifying &loaddependencies=true.

Thank you!

@alex-tsbk did you ever find a solution for this? Just hit the same problem with Cake 2.1.0....

@antonysmith-mando how did you solve this? having the 500mb dependencies bundled for a deployment via cake is not nice..

[zrhpwr]

Solved it by using: #addin nuget:?package=System.Management.Automation&version=7.2.6 #addin nuget:?package=Microsoft.ApplicationInsights&version=2.21.0 #addin nuget:?package=Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreCLR.Eventing&version=7.2.6 #addin nuget:?package=Cake.Powershell&version=2.0.0

Solved it by using: #addin nuget:?package=System.Management.Automation&version=7.2.6 #addin nuget:?package=Microsoft.ApplicationInsights&version=2.21.0 #addin nuget:?package=Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreCLR.Eventing&version=7.2.6 #addin nuget:?package=Cake.Powershell&version=2.0.0

It can be even shorter: #addin nuget:?package=System.Management.Automation&version=7.2.1 #addin nuget:?package=Microsoft.PowerShell.CoreCLR.Eventing&version=7.2.1 #addin nuget:?package=Cake.Powershell&version=2.0.0

I reckon this bug is resolved in Cake.PowerShell 4.0.0, same as #95.

All you need to do is add Cake.PowerShell 4.0.0 as add-in with dependencies.

#addin nuget:?package=Cake.Powershell&version=4.0.0&loaddependencies=true

The &loaddependencies=true is required!

Can you please try?
