Using F# Fake SquirrelHelper to create Squirrel.Windows packages

Question

Attempting to create a SquirrelPack target however it does not seem to be working for me using the docs:

// line 84 Target "CreateSquirrelPackage" (fun _ -> SquirrelPack (fun p -> {p with WorkingDir = "./tmp"}) "./my.nuget" ) // line 88

Output

build.fsx(86,49): error FS0001: This expression was expected to have type string option but here has type string

Has anyone been able to get SquirrelPack working in F#Fake?

WorkingDir has type string option, but you're trying to make it just a string.

This should work:

Target "CreateSquirrelPackage" (fun _ ->
    SquirrelPack (fun p -> {p with WorkingDir = Some "./tmp"}) "./my.nuget"
)

Thank you very much! I obviously need to study the F# language further to better understand these concepts.Thanks again – thebrianlopez Dec 07 '15 at 18:45
