Cake build is not working

[tkkeyan]

From today morning I am facing this issue in all our application while do the Cake build. Can you please help me on this?

Gitlab-ci.yml:

Preview:
stage: Preview
script: 'call cake Preview'
only:
- Dev2021
environment:
name: Preview

Build.cake:

#addin "nuget:?package=Cake.Npm&version=0.16.0"
#addin "nuget:?package=dejavu.Deploy&version=2019.2.28.1224"
#addin "Cake.Powershell"

Task("Preview")
.IsDependentOn("Build:Compile")

Error:

$ call cake Preview
Running build target Preview for environment from build.cake
Preparing to run build script...
Running build script...
Error: Unknown command 'Preview'.
build.cake -target=Preview
^^^^^^^ No such command

How does the "cake" shell script called look like?

I suspect is has an -target= that needs to be adjusted to --target=

@tkkeyan, with the switch to using a new command line parser, all input arguments must now use - when passing a single character argument, and -- when using an argument that has multiple characters.

As such, if you switch to using: --target rather than -target, things should hopefully start working for you.
