I'm using the following command lines:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" MyApp.sln /p:configuration="Release" /t:Build
"C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" MyApp.sfproj /p:platform="Any CPU" /p:configuration="Release" /t:Package
First line works fine, but second fails with the error
"MyApp.sfproj" (Package target) (1) ->
"AppProj.csproj" (default target) (4) ->
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(724,5): error : The OutputPath property is not set for project 'AppProj.csproj'.
Please check to make sure that you have specified a validcombination of Configuration and Platform for this project.
Configuration='Release' Platform='Any CPU'.
You may be seeing this message because you are trying to build a project without a solution file, and have specified a non-default
Configuration or Platform that doesn't exist for this project. [AppProj.csproj]
for some projects in my application.
I have the following PropertyGroup defined in the relevant csproj:
<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Debug|x64' ">
<DebugSymbols>true</DebugSymbols>
<DebugType>full</DebugType>
<Optimize>false</Optimize>
<OutputPath>bin\x64\Debug\</OutputPath>
<DefineConstants>DEBUG;TRACE</DefineConstants>
<ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport>
<PlatformTarget>x64</PlatformTarget>
<CodeAnalysisRuleSet>MinimumRecommendedRules.ruleset</CodeAnalysisRuleSet>
</PropertyGroup>
<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|x64' ">
<DebugType>pdbonly</DebugType>
<Optimize>true</Optimize>
<OutputPath>bin\x64\Release\</OutputPath>
<DefineConstants>TRACE</DefineConstants>
<ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport>
<PlatformTarget>x64</PlatformTarget>
<CodeAnalysisRuleSet>MinimumRecommendedRules.ruleset</CodeAnalysisRuleSet>
</PropertyGroup>
<PropertyGroup Condition=" '$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' == 'Release|AnyCPU' ">
<DebugType>pdbonly</DebugType>
<Optimize>true</Optimize>
<OutputPath>bin\Release\</OutputPath>
<DefineConstants>TRACE</DefineConstants>
<ErrorReport>prompt</ErrorReport>
<WarningLevel>4</WarningLevel>
</PropertyGroup>
When I deploy application from VS2015/2017 it works great and bin\pkg is created as expected.
