MakeWithShell & C#

[mMontu]

Hello Peter,

I've just noticed that :MakeWithShell doesn't works very well when compiling C# code.

Using compiler msbuild (from https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/vim_dev/q644Mx3ehYM) and :make on files with errors, followed by :cwindow does open the quickfix window. Replacing make with :MakeWithShell doesn't opens the quickfix, similar to sucessful compilation result.

Is it possible to change :MakeWithShell so it works like :make on this case?

I can't easily test this because I don't do much Windows development and don't have a C# environment set up. Can you edit a C# file, run the Vim command :verbose MakeWithShell and report the output here? You can recall the output using Vim's :messages command if the messages scroll out of view. I don't think you can easily copy/paste that text on Windows, but a screenshot is fine with me :-).

shell returned 1

The output messages can be copied with :redir @+ & :redir end, even on windows; but screenshot are still useful :)

For some reason the errors aren't recognized when :MakeWithShell is executed.

Please let me know if there are any tests I can perform.

For some reason it seems like :cexpr is not respecting the error format set by the msbuild compiler plug-in. It's very strange though that this works fine for other compilers, even on Windows (I use it to compile shell.c and it works quite nicely).
