SYNOPSIS​

Runs a psake build script.

SYNTAX​

__AllParameterSets​

Invoke-Psake [[-BuildFile] <string>] [[-TaskList] <string[]>] [[-Framework] <string>] [-Docs]
 [[-Parameters] <hashtable>] [[-Properties] <hashtable>] [[-Initialization] <scriptblock>] [-NoLogo]
 [-DetailedDocs] [-NoTimeReport] [-OutputFormat <string>] [-NoCache] [-CompileOnly] [-Quiet]
 [-BuildPlan <PsakeBuildPlan>] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION​

This function runs a psake build script using a two-phase compile/run model. The compile phase loads the build file and validates the dependency graph. The run phase executes tasks in the resolved order.

A pre-compiled [PsakeBuildPlan] from Get-PsakeBuildPlan can be piped in to skip the compile phase. When doing so, the build file is re-loaded for the execution phase to resolve properties, setup, and teardown blocks.

EXAMPLES​

EXAMPLE 1​

Invoke-psake

Runs the 'default' task in the 'psakefile.ps1' build script

EXAMPLE 2​

Invoke-psake '.\build.ps1' Tests,Package

Runs the 'Tests' and 'Package' tasks in the 'build.ps1' build script

EXAMPLE 3​

Invoke-psake -CompileOnly

Returns the build plan without executing any tasks.

EXAMPLE 4​

Get-PsakeBuildPlan | Invoke-Psake

Compiles the build plan then executes it. The build file is re-loaded during the execution phase.

EXAMPLE 5​

Invoke-psake -OutputFormat JSON

Runs the build and outputs the result as JSON.
