Expect to find '=' token

[saigkill]

Hello,
i just refactored my app to match a new name schema. Currently i'm using that build.cake:

`///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// ARGUMENTS
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

var target = Argument("target", "Default");
var configuration = Argument("configuration", "Release");
var targetframework = Argument("targetframework", "net6.0-windows10.0.20348.0");

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// SETUP / TEARDOWN
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Setup(ctx =>
{
// Executed BEFORE the first task.
Information("Running tasks...");
});

Teardown(ctx =>
{
// Executed AFTER the last task.
Information("Finished running tasks.");
});

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// TASKS
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Task("Clean")
.Does(() =>
{
CleanDirectory($"./bin/publish/");
});

Task("Build")
.IsDependentOn("Clean")
.Does(() =>
{
DotNetCoreBuild("../WayfairShippingApp.sln", new DotNetCoreBuildSettings
{
Configuration = configuration,
});
});

Task("Publish")
.IsDependentOn("Build")
.Does(() =>
{
DotNetCorePublish(".", new DotNetCorePublishSettings
{
Framework = "net6.0-windows10.0.20348.0",
Configuration = "Release",
OutputDirectory = "./bin/publish",
Runtime = "win10-x86",
SelfContained = false
});
});

Task("Publish64")
.IsDependentOn("Build")
.Does(() =>
{
DotNetCorePublish(".", new DotNetCorePublishSettings
{
Framework = "net6.0-windows10.0.20348.0",
Configuration = "Release",
OutputDirectory = "./bin/publish64",
Runtime = "win10-x64",
SelfContained = false
});
});

Task("Default")
.IsDependentOn("Clean")
.IsDependentOn("Build")
.IsDependentOn("Publish")
.IsDependentOn("Publish64")
.Does(() =>
{
});

RunTarget(target);
`
Currently a dotnet cake results in a Error: Expected to find '=' token. Maybe i missed anything?

The script compiles for me, at what point are you seeing the error? Is it before setup / any tasks are executed? If so how are you calling your script?
I took your script and executed the following

dotnet cake --target=Clean

and got the following output

----------------------------------------
Setup
----------------------------------------
Running tasks...

========================================
Clean
========================================

----------------------------------------
Teardown
----------------------------------------
Finished running tasks.

Task                          Duration
--------------------------------------------------
Setup                         00:00:00.0165123
Clean                         00:00:00.0111020
Teardown                      00:00:00.0003029

In general it comes directly after the dotnet cake command:

dotnet cake --target=Clean Error: Expected to find '=' token.

It already comes with --target=Clean.

I found the error. We are using a automatic licenseheader extension. That extension thought cake.config is a XML file and placed a Header there. After deleting that it works as expected:

` dotnet cake --target=Clean

Setup

Running tasks...

========================================
Clean

---

Teardown

Finished running tasks.

Task Duration

Setup 00:00:00.0060793
Clean 00:00:00.0055260
Teardown 00:00:00.0015809

Total: 00:00:00.0131862`

Sorry for that trouble.

No worries, great that you got it sorted.
