<# .Synopsis Shows Invoke-Build task help information. Copyright (c) Roman Kuzmin .Description The command shows the specified tasks help information as task names with synopses, jobs with their locations, script parameters and environment. By default, it analyses the code in order to extract variables in addition to optionally documented in comments. Synopsis is defined in task comments as # Synopsis: ... Parameters are defined as # Parameters: name1, name2, ... Environment variables are defined as # Environment: name1, name2, ... Parameters names match build parameters and separated by spaces or commas. Parameter descriptions are taken from the build script comment based help. Help info members (for custom formatters): Task: [object[]] Tasks to do. Name: [string] Task name. Synopsis: [string] Task synopsis, may be null. Jobs: [object[]] Jobs to do. Name: [string] Task name. Location: [string] Task location as "<file>:<line>". Parameters: [object[]] Tasks parameters, may be empty. Name: [string] Parameter name. Type: [string] Parameter type. Description: [string] Parameter help, may be null or empty. Environment: [string[]] Tasks environment variables, may be empty. .Parameter Task Build task name(s). The default is the usual default task. .Parameter File Build script path. The default is the usual default script. .Parameter NoCode Tells to skip code analysis for parameters and environment. .Parameter Format Specifies the custom task help formatter. .Link https://github.com/nightroman/Invoke-Build #> param( [Parameter(Position=0)] [string[]]$Task , [Parameter(Position=1)] [string]$File , [object]$Format = $(if ($Format = $PSCmdlet.GetVariableValue('Format')) {$Format} else {'Format-TaskHelp'}) , [switch]$NoCode = $PSCmdlet.GetVariableValue('NoCode') ) $ErrorActionPreference = 1;
