tool path setting in cake.config is ignored.

[nils-a]

What You Are Seeing?

I have a repository, containing a cake.config file with the content:

[Paths]
Tools=./.cake

What is Expected?

I would expect the cake.config to be honored and .cake as the folder for tools to be used.

What version of Cake are you using?

2.1.0

Are you running on a 32 or 64 bit system?

64 bit.

What environment are you running on? Hosted? Custom?

Hosted.

How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

• create a new cake build, containing a cake.config which points the tool location to anything other than tools.
• add content to the tools folder
• run the pipeline using this task - the tools folder will be set to tools and not the configured value from cake.config and the manually added content will not be used.
