Target Module

Namespace: Fake.Core
Assembly: Fake.Core.Target.dll

FAKE Target module contains tasks to define and run targets.

Types and nested modules

Type/Module	Description
WithContext	Run functions which don't throw and return the context after all targets have been executed.
OptionalTargetContext	Optional `TargetContext`

Functions and values

`Target.create name body` Full Usage: `Target.create name body` Parameters: name : `string` body : `TargetParameter -> unit`	Creates a Target. name : `string` body : `TargetParameter -> unit`
`Target.createBuildFailure name body` Full Usage: `Target.createBuildFailure name body` Parameters: name : `string` - The target name body : `TargetParameter -> unit` - The target body	Creates a target in case of build failure (not activated). name : `string` The target name body : `TargetParameter -> unit` The target body
`Target.createFinal name body` Full Usage: `Target.createFinal name body` Parameters: name : `string` - The target name body : `TargetParameter -> unit` - The target body	Creates a final target (not activated). name : `string` The target name body : `TargetParameter -> unit` The target body
`Target.deactivateBuildFailure name` Full Usage: `Target.deactivateBuildFailure name` Parameters: name : `string` - The target name	Deactivates the build failure target. name : `string` The target name
`Target.deactivateFinal name` Full Usage: `Target.deactivateFinal name` Parameters: name : `string` - The target name	Deactivates the final target. name : `string` The target name
`Target.description text` Full Usage: `Target.description text` Parameters: text : `string` - The description of the next target	Sets the Description for the next target. text : `string` The description of the next target
`Target.get name` Full Usage: `Target.get name` Parameters: name : `string` Returns: `Target`	name : `string` Returns: `Target`
`Target.getArguments ()` Full Usage: `Target.getArguments ()` Parameters: () : `unit` Returns: `string array option`	Allows to retrieve the arguments passed into the current execution, when `Target.run*withArguments` overloads are used, see Targets with arguments This function should be used at the start of your fake script Alternatively, you can use `Target.initEnvironment()` instead, Note: This function usually returns `Some [\|\|]`, it will return `None` when No actual execution was requested (for example because of `--list`), you shouldn't execute any side effects when `None` is returned (you should never execute side effects but you can use this flag to check if needed) () : `unit` Returns: `string array option`
`Target.initEnvironment ()` Full Usage: `Target.initEnvironment ()` Parameters: () : `unit`	Allows to initialize the environment before defining targets This function should be used at the start of your fake script see issues #2283 Alternatively, you can use `Target.getArguments()` instead () : `unit`

`Target.printDependencyGraph verbose target` Full Usage: `Target.printDependencyGraph verbose target` Parameters: verbose : `bool` - Whether to print verbose output or not. target : `string` - The target for which the dependencies should be printed.	Writes a dependency graph. verbose : `bool` Whether to print verbose output or not. target : `string` The target for which the dependencies should be printed.
`Target.raiseIfError context` Full Usage: `Target.raiseIfError context` Parameters: context : `OptionalTargetContext` - The target context	If `TargetContext option` is Some and has error, raise it as a BuildFailedException context : `OptionalTargetContext` The target context
