I am trying to run a command after build in my .net6.0 project, but I fail.
The .csproj
file looks like this:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>net6.0-windows</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>
<Target Name="AfterBuild">
<Message Text="hello world message"/>
<Exec Command="echo hello world echo"/>
</Target>
</Project>
I go to the folder containing the .csproj
file, open cmd and type dotnet build
. I get the following output (unfortunately German, so I translated it myself):
Microsoft (R)-Build-Engine, Version 17.0.0+c9eb9dd64 for .NET
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Determining projects to be restored...
"C:\Users\...\MyProject.csproj" restored (in "59 ms").
MyClass -> C:\Users\...\MyProject\bin\Debug\net6.0-windows\MyClass.dll
Build was successful.
0 Warning(s)
0 Error(s)
Elapsed time 00:00:02.12
So I get not output, neither from Message
nor from Exec
. What am I doing wrong?
I just started learning about targets in project files and wanted to try it out. Since it can't get any simpler than this, I have absolutely no idea what I should do now...
I even tried <Exec Command="mspaint"/>
(which should open a new Paint window) in order to rule out that it's just an issue of output not getting into the right console. But it did not work either.
