Console logger for MSBuild that only log targets being ran

TargetLogger

A console logger that logs only projects and targets being built.

Requirements

• .NET Framework 4.6.1
• MSBuild 14.0

Usage

TargetLogger can be downloaded from nuget : packages/TargetLogger

nuget install TargetLogger -OutputDirectory packages

The logging assembly is located under : lib\netstandard2.0\TargetLogger.dll. This file is passed to MSBuild to specify our custom logging.

msbuild /nologo /noconsolelogger /logger:packages/TargetLogger.1.0.0/lib/netstandar2.0/TargetLogger.dll

The /noconsolelogger switch is important to remove MSBuild's default console output.
