XML error

[2E0PGS]

Hi I get the following XML error. Wonder if someone knows what this could be. Otherwise in the meantime I will try debug it a bit.

Adding PlatformTarget node for PropertyGroup

This script works fine on one solution of mine but it doesn't like a couple others which are bigger and older. I need to study the XML a bit and see what could be causing the issue.

[2E0PGS]

Added a debugging line $CsProjFilePath to end of output: Write-Output 'Adding ItemGroup for None Nodes in project: ' $CsProjFilePath so I know if its a specific projects XML.

Seems to be one specific project causing the issue in the solution so going to check its csproj now.

Forgot to update but i found the offending project. Luckily it was old hat and surplus to requirement. I will probably run into this issue again on another project so will try narrow down which XML tag it didnt like.

[2E0PGS]

It looks like if a project in a soltuion doesn't have any nuget packages referenced it doesn't have this XML in the csproj and causes the script to except.

Perhaps it should check and skip projects like this which don't need migrating. Otherwise it will try modify other parts of the project and leave it in a unclean state.

  <ItemGroup>
    <None Include="app.config" />
    <None Include="packages.config" />
  </ItemGroup>

I am quit suprised that someone is still using this :). You are converting to project.json format even though that is also deprecated by now?

[2E0PGS]

Yeah adding that into a project without it, it no longer excepts.

Yes I have a specific use case for it. I am however aware they are now trying to move to csproj PackageReference but this isn't ready for .NET Framework MVC projects yet.
