Cake.FileHelpers is failing

[nick5454]

Has anyone noticed that Cake.FileHelpers is failing in Azure Devops?

The 'addin' directive is attempting to install the 'Cake.FileHelpers' package
without specifying a package version number.
More information on this can be found at https://cakebuild.net/docs/writing-builds/reproducible-builds/
It's not recommended, but you can explicitly override this warning
by configuring the Skip Package Version Check setting to true
(i.e. command line parameter "--settings_skippackageversioncheck=true",
environment variable "CAKE_SETTINGS_SKIPPACKAGEVERSIONCHECK=true",
read more about configuration at https://cakebuild.net/docs/running-builds/configuration/)

Upgrading to 2.0

[augustoproiete]

Can you run Cake with --verbosity=diagnostic and post the log here?

[nick5454]

@augustoproiete I saw there was an update yesterday. I can run diags, but I think it's better to upgrade to 2.0. Minus my parameter issue in the thread. The issue that that I have 12 projects pinned to other internal nuget feeds and I didn't pin FileHelpers. So, I can't really go and re-pin them. That's my bad.

[augustoproiete]

Oh, gotcha! So you got an error because your #addin reference to Cake.FileHelpers did not specify a version (which means get latest), so yesterday when I released version 5.0.0 your build started getting that version.

So yeah... The easiest solution would to pin to version 4.0.1 which is the latest version compatible with Cake 1.x

#addin nuget:?package=Cake.FileHelpers&version=4.0.1

Otherwise, migrating to Cake v2.0.0 is another alternative for sure
