Running target issue

[constructor-igor]

Please, could you help me to understand: I defined default target "Report", but when I run the script (see below) Powershell shows error:

var target = Argument("Target", "Report");

Task("Start")
  .Does(() =>
{
  Information("Hello World!");
});

Task("Tests")
    .IsDependentOn("Start")
    .Does(()=>
{
    Information("Tests!");
});

Task("Report")
    .IsDependentOn("Tests")
    .Does(()=>
{
    Information("Report!");
});

RunTarget(target);

@constructor-igor have a look here:

https://github.com/cake-build/example/blob/master/build.ps1#L44

If you don't specify a target argument for the build.ps1 the default is Default. As a result, there is not a target called that in your script. Normally, I leave the Default task in place, but instead use an IsDependentOn method call to specify which Target should be invoked when calling Default.

but what does it mean var target = Argument("Target", "Report"); ?
I thought it defines default "Report"

It does, when there is no target being passed in. However, the bootstrapper is always passing a target, I.e. Default 🙂
