Am I the only one absolutely frustrated by Build Hooks?
I'm sorry, but how is any non-expert supposed to understand how to use hooks? Have any of you, after studying the rather sparse documentation and complex Hooks API, actually felt like you understood any of this? I have been sitting here for hours, just trying to call a simple function from a pre-compiled dll, but the non-helpful documentation and error messages make even the simplest things a daunting task.
But what I find most unpleasent is that even the basic example code (which hasn't helped me at all) looks quite complex and build hooks can just execute any arbitrary code, be that downloading files, executing some other script, or whatever. Not only does that stink of a huge security risk, but there will be so many packages with completely broken hooks on pub, which will then also start to depend on each other. This will be really fun...
Edit: Heureka, it finally worked! But what a frustrating ride it was...
