vscode-webview-copy

There is a CopyToClipboard message that the webview sends.

This means the webview needs to send the copy to clipboard message, while sending the contents to copy within the message.

So within a react file I might have access to the window! <- confirmed

Extension sees the rightclick -> Copy command

Extension tells webview to copy via CopyToClipboard

MSBuild Custom Task: Can't Find System.Memory

Custom MSBuild Task Can't Find System.Memory?

Why is this happening?

Your task is probably on .NET Core, meanwhile you're building with the net472-targeted MSBuild.exe. To fix this: either switch from using MSBuild.exe to using dotnet build, or change the TargetFramework of your task.

The long answer

Workarounds

  • Set the TargetFramework property in your task's project to net472.

Stop MSBuild From Holding Files

Stop MSBuild From Locking Files

Stop MSBuild from locking your files! Also, consider that the problem could be MSBuild or something your build is doing.

Note: Use Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt.

In Visual Studio

  1. set MSBUILDDISABLENODEREUSE=1
  2. devenv yourproject.csproj

In CLI

Debugging Custom MSBuild Tasks

Debugging Custom MSBuild Tasks

A brief explanation on debugging msbuild tasks. Anything done on CLI (command-line interface) should be done in a Visual Studio Developer Command Prompt. If you have VS installed, search for "Developer command prompt."

This also works for dotnet builds.

Steps

  1. Have VS open & breakpoint into your custom task.
  2. Open up a developer command prompt.
  3. cd your/project/directory
  4. set MSBUILDDEBUGONSTART=1

Debugging An MSBuild Build

Debugging An MSBuild Build

MSBuild is open-source, which means you should be able to step through the execution of a build by following these steps.

Sync Up With Your Installed MSBuild

  1. Developer Command Prompt: msbuild --version You should see something like MSBuild version 17.3.1+362d18ee6 for .NET Framework
    • Everything after the + is the hash. Copy that
  2. git clone https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild
  3. git checkout 362d18ee6
  4. VS -> MSBuild.Dev.slnf
  5. VS -> Tools -> Options -> Disable Just My Code

MSBuild Target Ordering Best Practices

If your target is influenced by file state or properties defined/modified by other targets. If so, you have a dependency

AfterTargets || BeforeTargets: ANY TIME x target runs, then run this target.

Beforetargets = publish is effectively equivalent to going over to publish and setting its dependsontargets=publishcontainers.

DependsOnTargets exists for targets that KNOW what they depend on when they are created.

BeforeTargets & AfterTargets are built for targets that were created AFTER certain targets, but need to hook in at specific points
