Starting with v3.0.0 of Cake, the. C# build orchestration tool, it is now possible to show the reason that an individual task was skipped in the build summary at the end of the build.
Prior to this feature being added, it was only possible to "see" why a task was skipped by enabling diagnostic verbosity, and running the build again.
This feature can be controlled in the normal way by either using an environment variable, a command line argument, or can entry in the cake.config file.
