Exec task and "error :" in output

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:03:57 Z

Hi,

I just discovered a strange behavior of the exec task :

<Exec Command="echo error : "/>

will fail with code -1

and

<Exec Command="echo warning : " />

will print a warning.

Is it possible to disable this command output parsing ? I currently use ContinueOnError="True" but that modify my build logs.

Regards,
Ant1

Hi Ant1,

By default, MsBuild will format the warnings and errors which Visual Studio can then display. We can ignore this beahvior in 3.5 by setting the IgnoreStandardErrorWarningFormat parameter to True. Please try something like the following:

Hope this helps.
Best regards.
