Embedded Default Template

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

Warning

Please note that you always should pin addins and tools to a specific version to make sure your builds are deterministic and won't break due to updates to one of the packages.

See pinning addin versions for details.

#tool "nuget:?package=MSBuild.Extension.Pack"
#addin "Cake.Issues"
#addin "Cake.Issues.MsBuild"
#addin "Cake.Issues.Reporting"
#addin "Cake.Issues.Reporting.Generic"
