MsBuild WriteLinesToFile Task on multiple files
msbuild
Solution
You can use batching : try
<ItemGroup>
<AssemblyInfoFiles Include="$(SolutionRoot)\**\*assemblyinfo.cs" />
</ItemGroup>
<WriteLinesToFile
File="%(AssemblyInfoFiles.FullPath)"
Lines="AssemblyInformationalVersion("$(LabelName)")]"
Overwrite="false"/>
Hope it helps !
Problem
I have the following in a AfterGet target in TFS. ``` <ItemGroup> <AssemblyInfoFiles Include="$(SolutionRoot)\**\*assemblyinfo.cs" /> </ItemGroup> <WriteLinesToFile File="@(AssemblyInfoFiles)" Lines="AssemblyInformationalVersion("$(LabelName)")]" Overwrite="false"/> ``` The ItemGroup includes multiple files, but the WriteLinesToFile only expects a single file. And logs the following error: error MSB4094: "XXXX;YYYY;ZZZZ" is an invalid value for the "File" parameter of the "WriteLinesToFile" task. Multiple items cannot be passed into a parameter of type "Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITaskItem". How do I pass each item from the ItemGroup into the WriteLinesToFile Task?
