I have several different automations in my solution.
Many of them uses [System.IO.Path]::GetFullPath
to help avoid missing files and the like.
However, Recently I added another project, but for some reason the GetFullPath
is not working.
What am I doing wrong?
<Target Name="PreBuild" BeforeTargets="PreBuildEvent">
<PropertyGroup>
<HelpPath>$([System.IO.Path]::GetFullPath('$(ProjectDir)..\..\User Guide')</HelpPath>
</PropertyGroup>
<Message Importance="high" Text="HelpPath=$(HelpPath)" />
</Target>
The output of the MSBuild target above
2>HelpPath=$([System.IO.Path]::GetFullPath('$(ProjectDir)..\..\User Guide')
You are missing a second closing brace ')' here to make it work:
<PropertyGroup>
<HelpPath>$([System.IO.Path]::GetFullPath('$(ProjectDir)..\..\User Guide'))</HelpPath>
</PropertyGroup>
