CAKE: There is no argument given that corresponds to the required formal parameter

I use CAKE 0.21.1.0.

Here is the relevant snippet of code:

var teamCityLoggerZipFolderPath = @".\TeamCity\CustomLogger\VSTest.TeamCityLogger.zip";
var dllDestinationFolder = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\Extensions";

ZipAliases.Unzip(new FilePath(teamCityLoggerZipFolderPath), 
                 new DirectoryPath(dllDestinationFolder));

The idea is to unzip the folder and store its contents in dllDestinationFolder.

However, I keep seeing this error message:

There is no argument given that corresponds to the required formal parameter 'outputPath' of 'ZipAliases.Unzip(ICakeContext, FilePath, DirectoryPath)'

As far as I can see, I am calling the FilePath and DirectoryPath constructors correctly, as documented here and here. I also don't think I am invoking ZipAliases.Unzip erroneously.

What am I doing wrong?

Solution

  • Unzip is available through the DSL as either a global method or an extension method to ICakeContext.

    So you could just invoke it as Unzip or Context.Unzip, example:

    var teamCityLoggerZipFolderPath = @".\TeamCity\CustomLogger\VSTest.TeamCityLogger.zip";
var dllDestinationFolder = @"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TestWindow\Extensions";

Unzip(teamCityLoggerZipFolderPath, dllDestinationFolder);


Context.Unzip(teamCityLoggerZipFolderPath, dllDestinationFolder);
