Override json config via CLI

[lonix1]

Assumptions

• scss files in /wwwroot/ should be compiled and minified
• scss files in /Pages/ should be compiled but not minified, because they are transformed by "css isolation" and placed in obj/Release/net7.0/scopedcss/bundle/Assembly.styles.css

I'm using this msbuild task:

<Target Name="CompileStaticAssets" AfterTargets="BeforeBuild">
  <Exec Command="dotnet webcompiler --config webcompiler.json --recursive wwwroot" StandardOutputImportance="high" />
  <Exec Command="dotnet webcompiler --config webcompiler.json --recursive Pages --minify disable" StandardOutputImportance="high" />
</Target>

Notice how the second command uses --minify disable to override the default in the config file. I assumed that would work because it's standard practice in .NET (env vars take precendence, then CLI vars, then file config, then code config).

However, it minifies those files anyway.

Can I override the json config via the CLI?

This sounds like a reasonable expectation. I will have to look into code for why this is not happening.
