I have this yaml task to run a build.cake file.
- task: cake-build.cake.cake-build-task.Cake@2
displayName: 'Build Sources'
inputs:
script: devops/build.cake
target: Default
verbosity: Normal
arguments: '--Configuration="$(build.configuration)" --Platform="$(build.platform)" --artifactsPath="$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)"'
When this task executes it always installs the latest version of Cake.Tool. This a section of the pipelines logs:

2021-10-25T20:52:29.0339302Z Installing Cake Tool (Latest)...
2021-10-25T20:52:29.0577395Z [command]"C:\Program Files\dotnet\dotnet.exe" tool install --tool-path D:\Agents\00\_work\265\s\devops\tools/ Cake.Tool
2021-10-25T20:52:37.3622249Z You can invoke the tool using the following command: dotnet-cake
2021-10-25T20:52:37.3622761Z Tool 'cake.tool' (version '1.3.0') was successfully installed.
2021-10-25T20:52:37.3766624Z
In this case it installed version 1.3.0. How do I fix this version number? How do I tell it to always use version 1.0.0 for instance. I haven't find any documentation on this.
You should be able to specify version using version property
- task: cake-build.cake.cake-build-task.Cake@2
displayName: 'Build Sources'
inputs:
version: 1.0.0
script: devops/build.cake
target: Default
