Embedded Default Template

To create HTML reports the Generic report format needs to be imported. For this example the MsBuild issue provider is additionally used for reading issues:

Cake .NET ToolCake Frosting

build.cake

#addin nuget:?package=Cake.Issues&version=5.2.0
#addin nuget:?package=Cake.Issues.MsBuild&version=5.2.0
#addin nuget:?package=Cake.Issues.Reporting&version=5.2.0
#addin nuget:?package=Cake.Issues.Reporting.Generic&version=5.2.0

Note

In addition to the Generic report format the Cake.Issues and Cake.Issues.Reporting core addins need to be added.

Build.csproj

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>net9.0</TargetFramework>
    <RunWorkingDirectory>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)</RunWorkingDirectory>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Cake.Frosting" Version="5.0.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Cake.Frosting.Issues.MsBuild" Version="5.2.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Cake.Frosting.Issues.Reporting.Generic" Version="5.2.0" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

The following example will create a HTML report for issues logged as warnings by MsBuild.

Cake .NET ToolCake Frosting

build.cake

Task("Create-IssueReport").Does(() =>
{
    var repoRootPath = MakeAbsolute(Directory("./"));

    // Build MySolution.sln solution in the repository root folder and write a binary log.
    FilePath msBuildLogFile = @"c:\build\msbuild.log";
    var msBuildSettings =
        new DotNetMSBuildSettings().WithLogger(
            "BinaryLogger," + Context.Tools.Resolve("Cake.Issues.MsBuild*/**/StructuredLogger.dll"),
            "",
            msBuildLogFile.FullPath);
    DotNetBuild(
        repoRootPath.CombineWithFilePath("MySolution.sln").FullPath,
        new DotNetBuildSettings{MSBuildSettings = msBuildSettings});

    // Create HTML report using Diagnostic template.
    CreateIssueReport(
        MsBuildIssuesFromFilePath(
            msBuildLogFile,
            MsBuildBinaryLogFileFormat),
        GenericIssueReportFormatFromEmbeddedTemplate(GenericIssueReportTemplate.HtmlDiagnostic),
        repoRootPath,
        @"c:\report.html");
});
