Description

When I run build.cmd for the first time, I get an error after restore has completed (the following is from a second run of build.cmd):

Restore completed in 24,82 ms for D:\Code\GH\JsonSkippable\build.proj.
Restore completed in 12,76 ms for D:\Code\GH\JsonSkippable\build.proj.

Repro steps

Clone repo and run build.cmd from the root of the repo.

Expected behavior

I get asked questions about project name etc.

Actual behavior

I get the error described above.

I have assumed that FAKE should be installed as part of the bootstrapping process (restoring build.proj). If this is not the case and FAKE is a prerequisite, this should be added to the documentation along with steps to install, e.g. dotnet tool install fake-cli -g.

This project https://github.com/MangelMaxime/fulma-demo has clitool dotnet-fake in the root paket.dependencies, the scripts are named fake.cmd and fake.sh, and they run dotnet fake instead of just fake. Perhaps any or all of those can help?

(On a side note, something is wrong with GitHub... Wrong order and time travel 😆 )

I have #345 to address this issue with fake by adding fake template from dotnet new fake
