Cake LongPath Module

Cake Module that adds long path support to build scripts running on Windows using Pri.LongPath

This module replaces the default IFileSystem with one that uses Pri.LongPath to give long path support. This is an early alpha version, so still pre-release and made avail for testing purposes.

Installation

Pre-compiled binaries are available on NuGet package id Cake.LongPath.Module, Cake modules are automatically loaded based on the tools/modules folder relative to the Cake script being executed.

1. Create folder tools\modules
2. Install Cake.LongPath.Module from nuget

nuget.exe install Cake.LongPath.Module -PreRelease -ExcludeVersion -OutputDirectory "tools\modules" -Source https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/

3. Next time you execute your build script the new module should be loaded.

Folder structure after installation should look something like this

|   build.cake
\---tools
    +---Cake
    |       Cake.exe
    |       ...
    |
    \---modules
        \---Cake.LongPath.Module
                Cake.LongPath.Module.dll
                ...

You can find an minimal example of module installation script in moduleusageexample/build.cmd, that should output something like below if everything works:

Sucessfully loaded [path to moduleusageexample]\tools\modules\Cake.LongPath.Module\Cake.LongPath.Module.dll
IFileSystem: Cake.LongPath.Module.LongPathFileSystem
        IFile: Cake.LongPath.Module.LongPathFile
        IDirectory: Cake.LongPath.Module.LongPathFile

Test

The project is setup to debug using moduletest/test.cake, you can also execute it from the command-line using moduletest/test.cmd.
