      <maml:para>If there is an exception thrown during the running of a build script psake will set the '$psake.build_success' variable to $false. To detect failue outside PowerShell (for example by build server), finish PowerShell process with non-zero exit code when '$psake.build_success' is $false. Calling psake from 'cmd.exe' with 'psake.cmd' will give you that behaviour.</maml:para>

        <maml:para>---- $psake variable ----</maml:para>

        <maml:para>When the psake module is loaded a variable called $psake is created which is a hashtable

containing some variables:

$psake.version                      # contains the current version of psake

$psake.context                      # holds onto the current state of all variables

$psake.run_by_psake_build_tester    # indicates that build is being run by psake-BuildTester

$psake.config_default               # contains default configuration

                                    # can be overriden in psake-config.ps1 in directory with psake.psm1 or in directory with current build script

$psake.build_success                # indicates that the current build was successful

$psake.build_script_file            # contains a System.IO.FileInfo for the current build script

$psake.build_script_dir             # contains the fully qualified path to the current build script

You should see the following when you display the contents of the $psake variable right after importing psake

PS projects:\psake> Import-Module .\psake.psm1

PS projects:\psake> $psake

config_default                 @{framework=3.5; ...

After a build is executed the following $psake values are updated: build_script_file, build_script_dir, build_success

        <dev:code>A sample build script is shown below:

Task default -Depends Test

Task Test -Depends Compile, Clean {

  "This is a test"

}

Task Compile -Depends Clean {

  "Compile"

}

Task Clean {

  "Clean"

}

The 'default' task is required and should not contain an 'Action' parameter.

It uses the 'Depends' parameter to specify that 'Test' is a dependency

The 'Test' task uses the 'Depends' parameter to specify that 'Compile' and 'Clean' are dependencies

The 'Compile' task depends on the 'Clean' task.

Note:

The 'Action' parameter is defaulted to the script block following the 'Clean' task.

An equivalent 'Test' task is shown below:

Task Test -Depends Compile, Clean -Action {

  $testMessage

}

The output for the above sample build script is shown below:

Executing task, Clean...

Clean

Executing task, Compile...

Compile

Executing task, Test...

This is a test

Build Succeeded!

          <maml:para>Note:</maml:para>

          <maml:para>It might be necessary to wrap the condition with paranthesis to force PS to evaluate the condition

so that a boolean value is calculated and passed into the 'conditionToCheck' parameter.

Example:

    Assert 1 -eq 2 "1 doesn't equal 2"

PS will pass 1 into the condtionToCheck variable and PS will look for a parameter called "eq" and

throw an exception with the following message "A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'eq'"

The solution is to wrap the condition in () so that PS will evaluate it first.

    Assert (1 -eq 2) "1 doesn't equal 2"
