Cannot build website locally about website

Yeah, probably should be fixed regardless most likely, eg Geoff Huntley is suggesting the dev tool chain should be silky smooth, but thanks for getting me up and running.

You can try deleting the tools folder and rerunning the build cmd. It should completely restore them to appropriate versions.

That may help..?

Now have the following instead

Error: The assembly 'Cake.Wyam, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'
is referencing an older version of Cake.Core (0.17.0).
This assembly need to reference at least Cake.Core version 0.22.0.
Another option is to downgrade Cake to an earlier version.
It's not recommended, but you can explicitly opt-out of assembly verification
by configuring the Skip Verification setting to true
(i.e. command line parameter "--settings_skipverification=true",
environment variable "CAKE_SETTINGS_SKIPVERIFICATION=true",
read more about configuration at https://cakebuild.net/docs/fundamentals/configuration)

[dabutvin]

Yup. I get that too. If you run

set CAKE_SETTINGS_SKIPVERIFICATION=true

You should be up and running :)

[ghuntley]

Yup devchain needs to be silky smooth for everyone. Think this is happening because extensions we use are pinned at versions before Cake.Core 0.22.0 except for Cake.Wyam. Correct way to fix this to unpin and make everything work with Cake.Core 0.22.0 and once more pin.

@glennawatson is there any chance you would be able to test the PR I've put up? Hopefully it fixes the problems you've been having.
