Provides functions and operators to deal with FAKE targets and target dependencies.

Functions and values

Function or valueDescription
( ? ) f s
Signature: f:('?10550 -> '?10551) -> s:'?10550 -> '?10551
Type parameters: '?10550, '?10551

Allows to use Tokens instead of strings

( ?<- ) f str action
Signature: f:('?10553 -> '?10554 -> '?10555) -> str:'?10553 -> action:'?10554 -> '?10555
Type parameters: '?10553, '?10554, '?10555

Allows to use Tokens instead of strings for TargetNames

( ?=> ) x y
Signature: x:string -> y:string -> string

Defines a soft dependency. x must run before y, if it is present, but y does not require x to be run.

( <=? ) y x
Signature: y:string -> x:string -> string

Defines a soft dependency. x must run before y, if it is present, but y does not require x to be run.

( <=> ) x y
Signature: x:string -> y:string -> string

Defines that x and y are not dependent on each other but y is dependent on all dependencies of x.

( =?> ) x (y, condition)
Signature: x:string -> (y:string * condition:bool) -> string

Defines a conditional dependency - y is dependent on x if the condition is true

( ==> ) x y
Signature: x:string -> y:string -> string

Defines a dependency - y is dependent on x

addDependenciesOnSameLevel(...)
Signature: target:string -> dependency:string -> unit

Specifies that two targets have the same dependencies

addSoftDependenciesOnSameLevel(...)
Signature: target:string -> dependency:string -> unit

Specifies that two targets have the same dependencies

And x y
Signature: x:'?10560 -> y:'?10560 list -> '?10560 list
Type parameters: '?10560

Appends the dependency to the list of dependencies

Dependency(x)
Signature: x:'?10558 -> '?10558 list
Type parameters: '?10558

Converts a dependency into a list

For x y
Signature: x:string -> y:string list -> unit

Allows to use For? syntax for Dependencies

Run(targetName)
Signature: targetName:string -> unit

Runs a Target and its dependencies

RunParameterTargetOrDefault(...)
Signature: parameterName:string -> defaultTarget:string -> unit

Runs the target given by the build script parameter or the given default target

RunTarget()
Signature: unit -> unit

Runs the target given by the target parameter

RunTargetOrDefault(defaultTarget)
Signature: defaultTarget:string -> unit

Runs the target given by the target parameter or the given default target

RunTargetOrListTargets()
Signature: unit -> unit

Runs the target given by the target parameter or lists the available targets

targetsAreOnSameLevel x y
Signature: x:string -> y:string -> unit

Specifies that two targets are on the same level of execution
