Batch Build mode #5

Open brianbourke75 opened 6 years ago

brianbourke75 commented 6 years ago

When attempting to use the batch build option the SolutionConfiguration will always map to whatever the interface says instead of the build being done currently in the batch.

Please, consider moving to use msbuild from the command line for this use case. You can add a switch "/p:SolutionConfiguration=Debug" or set an enviroment variable %SolutionConfiguration% prior calling msbuild.

Hi, Francesco. Such a great plugin! But I had faced with the same issue. Is there any chance to correct work in a batch mode? There are maps to solutions configurations in batch window - are they accessible in the moment when build begins?

I'm sorry, I lost interest in developing further this addon. While adding a simple functionality, it required many nights of reverse engineering VS internals, and commit count is almost 100. When VS next version will be out, I will try to keep compatibility but I don't have plans to add new features. Please, consider moving batch builds to command line tools. Believe me: unless you have a compatibility reason to have the IDE GUI loaded, it's an investment that pays off.

Got U. Thanks for the quick answer.
