Could not load Cake.Powershell.2.0.0\lib\net6.0\Cake.Powershell.dll (missing System.Management.Automation, Version=7.2.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35)

I was under the impression from the Cake Powershell page that Cake 2.0.0 is supported but when I run: dotnet cake build.cake I get the following error:

Could not load Z:\Dev\GitHub\MyProj\build\tools\Addins\Cake.Powershell.2.0.0\lib\net6.0\Cake.Powershell.dll (missing System.Management.Automation, Version=7.2.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35)

I'm referencing Cake.Powershell via an addin in my cake file: #addin nuget:?package=Cake.Powershell&version=2.0.0.

Any idea of the problem? Any plans for Cake 3.0.0 support? Thanks

Hi there!

That's an interesting bug and it would be great if someone could solve it for good. But it might not be an easy one.

I have created a dummy test project to reproduce the bug. It is available in a separate repository.

This allowed me to find a workaround for this bug. Feel free to try it out.

In a few words:

1. Add a cake.config file with these few lines:

   [NuGet]
   LoadDependencies=true

2. Instead of only adding Cake.Powershell in your cake script, also add Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Management version 7.4.3

   #addin nuget:?package=Cake.Powershell&version=3.0.0
   #addin nuget:?package=Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.Management&version=7.4.3

This bug seems to be resolved with Cake.PowerShell 4.0.0.

All you need to do is add Cake.PowerShell 4.0.0 as add-in with dependencies.

#addin nuget:?package=Cake.Powershell&version=4.0.0&loaddependencies=true

The &loaddependencies=true is required!
