dotnet watch fails with MSB3021 (locked file) when project references custom source generator #40911

Open bdukes opened 2 months ago

bdukes commented 2 months ago

Describe the bug

When a project references a custom Source Generator, changes to the project while using dotnet watch can cause warning MSB3026, error MSB3027, and error MSB3021. This is due to the source generator project's output DLL being locked.

To Reproduce

I've created a repro at https://github.com/bdukes/lockrepro. There's a script which starts dotnet watch and then switches branches to simulate making changes to the files.

Exceptions (if any)

Error output 
dotnet watch ⌚ File changed: .\MyExample.WidgetApi\MyExample.WidgetApi.csproj.
dotnet watch ⌚ Exited
