Cake -Experimental Switch Compile Error

I am trying to use the Cake-Plist addin and received an error that dynamic is not yet implemented in the version of Roslyn that was being used. Then from advise for someone else I was told to try the -Experimental switch. When using the switch I am receiving the following error when it is trying to compile the build script.

Error: Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Scripting.CompilationErrorException: (2,1): error CS0656: Missing compiler required member 'Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.CSharpArgumentInfo.Create'
    at Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Scripting.Script.CompilationError(DiagnosticBag diagnostics)
    at Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Scripting.Script.GetExecutor(CancellationToken cancellationToken)

    at Cake.Commands.BuildCommand.Execute(CakeOptions options)
    at Cake.CakeApplication.Run(CakeOptions options)
    at Cake.Program.Main()

Does anyone know what is causing this error?

Solution

  • A reference needs to be added to Microsoft.CSharp.dll.

    #reference "Microsoft.CSharp.dll"
