function Task { <# .SYNOPSIS Defines a build task to be executed by psake .DESCRIPTION This function creates a 'task' object that will be used by the psake engine to execute a build task. Note: There must be at least one task called 'default' in the build script .PARAMETER name The name of the task .PARAMETER action A scriptblock containing the statements to execute for the task. .PARAMETER preaction A scriptblock to be executed before the 'Action' scriptblock. Note: This parameter is ignored if the 'Action' scriptblock is not defined. .PARAMETER postaction A scriptblock to be executed after the 'Action' scriptblock. Note: This parameter is ignored if the 'Action' scriptblock is not defined. .PARAMETER precondition A scriptblock that is executed to determine if the task is executed or skipped. This scriptblock should return $true or $false .PARAMETER postcondition A scriptblock that is executed to determine if the task completed its job correctly. An exception is thrown if the scriptblock returns $false. .PARAMETER continueOnError If this switch parameter is set then the task will not cause the build to fail when an exception is thrown by the task .PARAMETER depends An array of task names that this task depends on. These tasks will be executed before the current task is executed. .PARAMETER requiredVariables An array of names of variables that must be set to run this task. .PARAMETER description A description of the task. .PARAMETER alias An alternate name for the task. .EXAMPLE 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...
