Cake.Hosts addon for Cake Build: manipulation of hosts file from Cake

Cake.Hosts

Cake.Hosts addon for Cake Build: manipulation of hosts file from Cake. This addon provides the following functionality:

• Check if a record already exists in your hosts file
• Add a new record to your hosts file
• Remove a record from hosts file

Release Notes

This addon is aimed on automation and helping setting up of local development environment rather than for anything else. I can not see a need to change hosts file on any server in a production environment/build. However, please let me know if you do use it in production - I'm interested to hear your story.

You can add this addon added to your cake script via nuget:

#addin "Cake.Hosts"

Check if Record Exists

HostsRecordExists("127.0.0.1", "myproject.dev");

This does regex match through your hosts file and checks if there is a corresponding record.

Add New Record

AddHostsRecord("127.0.0.1", "myproject.dev");

This appends a new corresponding line to your hosts file.

Remove Recrod

RemoveHostsRecord("127.0.0.1", "myproject.dev");

Need to pin cake version

Would it be possible to use the Cake Contrib Icon for your NuGet Package?

Thanks again for creating this Cake Addin, we really appreciate the effort that you have put in to creating it.

We, the Cake Team, recently announced a new Cake Contrib Icon, details of which can be found here:

http://cakebuild.net/blog/2017/06/new-cake-contrib-icon

Would you consider changing the nuspec file for your NuGet Package to use this new Cake Contrib Icon? If so, the recommended URL to use is:

https://cdn.rawgit.com/cake-contrib/graphics/a5cf0f881c390650144b2243ae551d5b9f836196/png/cake-contrib-medium.png

Details of the above URL can be found in the repository here:

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Recommended changes resulting from automated audit

We performed an automated audit of your Cake addin and found that it does not follow all the best practices.

We encourage you to make the following modifications:

• The nuget package for your addin should use the cake-contrib icon. Specifically, your addin's .csproj should have a line like this: <PackageIconUrl>https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/cake-contrib/graphics/png/cake-contrib-medium.png</PackageIconUrl>.

Apologies if this is already being worked on, or if there are existing open issues, this issue was created based on what is currently published for this package on NuGet.

This issue was created by a tool: Cake.AddinDiscoverer version 3.12.1

We encourage you to make the following modifications:

• You are currently referencing Cake.Core 0.27.1. Please upgrade to 0.28.0

Appveyor

Set up build on appveyor and push to myget automatically

Add cake-addin tag to Cake.Hosts NuGet package

The NuGet Gallery will soon include a "Cake" tab with instructions on how to use NuGet packages in Cake build scripts. I'd like to suggest that you include the tag cake-addin in the NuGet package of this addin, so that the NuGet Gallery can display the correct instructions to install this addin.

The UI will look similar to this:

Failed to install addin 'Cake.Hosts'

I get the following error when trying to install Cake.Hosts with #addin "Cake.Hosts" command

Error: Cake.Core.CakeException: Failed to install addin 'Cake.Hosts'.

Tried with dontet cake global tool and with the classic build.ps1 script.
Cake version is 0.30

Update Cake.Hosts README: Add link to GitHub Discussions

We've started using GitHub Discussions as the preferred communication channel moving forward (instead of Gitter) because it makes it easier to keep track of discussions in a structured way, especially if multiple discussions are happening at the same time. It also allows to search for previous questions/answers, which can be a helpful resource.

As such, we're recommending addin maintainers to update any links to Gitter to point to the GH discussions.

Log messages

Need to put a log message when adding/deleting records from hosts.

Update Cake.Hosts to target Cake v1.0.0

Cake v1.0.0 has been released earlier this year and includes breaking changes in the API. It's recommended to reference Cake.Core and/or Cake.Common v1.0.0 for compatibility with the latest Cake runners.

Today, users running modern versions of Cake receive a warning similar to the below:

The assembly 'Cake.Hosts, Version=1.5.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'
is referencing an older version of Cake.Core (0.33.0).
