GitVersion Tool: Remap existing verbosity values to valid GitVersion values

[augustoproiete]

Background

The Verbosity argument of GitVersion changed in more recent releases and the existing values in Cake's enumeration no longer match the accepted values by GitVersion.

Proposal

Keep the existing enumeration values as-is in Cake for now and simply remap the existing values to output corresponding valid values for GitVersion, in a way that doesn't break Cake's API - and can potentially be included in an upcoming v1.x release of Cake.

Cake	Map to	GitVersion
None	➡️	Quiet
Error	➡️	Minimal
Warn	➡️	Normal
Info	➡️	Verbose
Debug	➡️	Diagnostic

Workaround

The current workaround is to use ArgumentCustomization to pass in custom values:

var result = GitVersion(new GitVersionSettings
{
    // ...
    ArgumentCustomization = args => args
        .Append("-verbosity")
        .Append("Quiet")
});
