Hi

I do not understand my error

Run cake-build/cake-action@v1
dotnet tool install --tool-path tools Cake.Tool
You can invoke the tool using the following command: dotnet-cake
Tool 'cake.tool' (version '3.1.0') was successfully installed.
tools/dotnet-cake Build/linux-build.cake --target=JustBuild --verbosity=Diagnostic --version=0.1.0

Error: Flags cannot be assigned a value.

       Build/linux-build.cake --target=JustBuild --verbosity=Diagnostic 
--version=0.1.0
                                                                        
^^^^^^^^^ Can't assign value

Can you help me?

My project is BSVN/IpTables.Api#2

version is currently a reserved argument that is used by the Cake runner to see what is the version of the Cake runner itself. See more details on cake-build/cake#3279 which aims to make it possible to use version in the future.

e.g. dotnet cake --version shows you the version of the Cake runner.

You will have to use a build argument with a different name - other than version

@augustoproiete

thanks a lot :)

With current version you can use the -- syntax similar to standard dotnet cli commands to pass argument just to script, i.e.
Example this script

Information(Argument<string>("version"));

you can pass version by using --

dotnet cake .\version.cake -- --version=1.1.1

will output

1.1.1

@devlead I don't believe this is possible in his scenario because he does not have control over the command-line being executed... He's using the GitHub Action for Cake which is crafting the command-line.

We should release a new version of this GHA that allows for that to work.

I'll look into it.
