Does not work with latest msbuild tooling
Grinderofl opened this issue · comments
I'm running dotnet version 1.0.0-rc4-004771
Using
<Target Name="ApplyXdtConfigTransform" BeforeTargets="_WebConfigTransform">
<PropertyGroup>
<_SourceWebConfig>$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)Web.config</_SourceWebConfig>
<_XdtTransform>$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)Web.$(Configuration).config</_XdtTransform>
<_TargetWebConfig>$(PublishDir)Web.config</_TargetWebConfig>
</PropertyGroup>
<Exec Command="dotnet transform-xdt --xml "$(_SourceWebConfig)" --transform "$(_XdtTransform)" --output "$(_TargetWebConfig)"" />
</Target>
Transformations do not run on publish.
Trying to sub BeforeTargets="_WebConfigTransform" for AfterTargets="Build" and running dotnet build does not seem to actually do anything. I've tried doing the recommended process also on the sample projects and they do not work either.
@Grinderofl thank you for reporting this issue. As stated in the readme file, the current instructions are based solely on CLI 1.0.0-preview4-004233. I have not tested newer versions in-depth yet.
I had a quick look at RC4-004771, and it seems that the SDK target was renamed from _WebConfigTransform to _TransformWebConfig. Could you please try updating to BeforeTargets="_TransformWebConfig" and let me know if that works for you?
It worked for me on a simple test project. If you can confirm it as well, I will update the instructions accordingly. Looking forward to your feedback.
@Grinderofl this is what I had to change to get the xdt-samples working with RC4:
-<Target Name="ApplyXdtConfigTransform" BeforeTargets="_WebConfigTransform">
+<Target Name="ApplyXdtConfigTransform" BeforeTargets="_TransformWebConfig">@Grinderofl I closed this issue after verifying that the change above works with RC4. Please reopen if you find otherwise.
