Give a Star! ⭐

If you like or are using this project please give it a star. Thanks!

Getting started 🚀

Simply add Cake.DoInDirectory in your build script by using the addin directive:

#addin "nuget:?package=Cake.DoInDirectory&version=x.y.z"

Make sure the &version= attribute references the latest version of Cake.DoInDirectory compatible with the Cake runner that you are using. Check the compatibility table to see which version of Cake.DoInDirectory to choose.

The DoInDirectory method temporarily switches to a new working directory, executes the code block you want in that directory, and switches back to the original working directory at the end.

#addin "nuget:?package=Cake.DoInDirectory&version=x.y.z"

DoInDirectory("Some/Sub/Directory", () =>
    Npm.RunScript("test")
);

Compatibility

Cake.DoInDirectory is compatible with all Cake runners, and below you can find which version of Cake.DoInDirectory you should use based on the version of the Cake runner you're using.
