Allow extending common DependsOn properties
Fixes #9755
Context
Allow extending common targets *DependsOn properties It's a continuation of https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/pull/4922 and https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/issues/9703 - handling rest of the properties
Changes Made
All *DependsOn properties are defined in nondestructive way
Testing
Existing test
Notes
@ghogen - Once/If this is merged, I'd suggest the DependsOn properties to be prefered extension way over redefining targets from common target files (for https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/visualstudio-docs-pr/pull/12564)
Dependencies that might possibly be usefull for powerusers to extend include:
Property |
Added target will run before … |
|---|---|
BuildDependsOn |
The main build entry point |
RebuildDependsOn |
The Rebuild |
RunDependsOn |
The run the final build output (if it is a .EXE) |
CompileDependsOn |
The compilation |
CreateSatelliteAssembliesDependsOn |
The creation of the satellite assemblies |
CleanDependsOn |
The Clean (Deleting of all intermediate and final build outputs) |
PostBuildEventDependsOn |
The PostBuildEvent |
PublishBuildDependsOn |
Build publishing |
ResolveAssemblyReferencesDependsOn |
The 'RAR' target (Finding the transitive closure of dependencies for a given dependencies) |
There is no strong consesus on value and even need for this change - so considering nonzero risk of the change - I'm rather pulling this out. There were some minor changes that might still be valuable - extracting those to https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/pull/10360
