Grant,
Have a look at the definition of OutputFile in their documentation (or Reflector), if it's a TaskItem then MSBuild will call the task once for each AssemblyInfo, if it's a TaskItem array then MSBuild will only call it once. William ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grant Holliday Sent: Monday, 15 January 2007 11:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzTFS] MSBuild AssemblyInfo community task Has anybody had any experience with the AssemblyInfo task from the msbuildtasks.com guys? I'm trying to run the task for all AssemblyInfo.cs's in the BeforeCompile override. <Target Name="BeforeCompile"> <Target Name="AssemblyInfo"> <CreateItem Include="$(SolutionRoot)\**\AssemblyInfo.cs"> <Output ItemName="AssemblyInfos" TaskParameter="Include"/> </CreateItem> <Attrib ReadOnly="false" Files="@(AssemblyInfos)" /> <AssemblyInfo CodeLanguage="CS" OutputFile="@(AssemblyInfos)" AssemblyTitle="$(BuildType)" /> </Target> But I'm getting an error: error MSB4018: The "AssemblyInfo" task failed unexpectedly. error MSB4018: System.IO.PathTooLongException: The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. After checking the contents of @(AssemblyInfos), none of the individual paths are more than about 120chars. But the total string would be much longer. I suspect the OutputFile attribute doesn't like outputting multiple files. How would I call the AssemblyInfo task for each AssemblyInfo.cs in @(AssemblyInfos) ?
