csproj example about gitinfo HOT 3 CLOSED

I have this in my ./src/Directory.Build.props:

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="gitinfo" Version="2.0.8" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <PropertyGroup>
    <GitInfoReportImportance Condition="$(Configuration) == 'Release'">high</GitInfoReportImportance>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <Target Name="Configure" AfterTargets="GitInfoReport">
    <PropertyGroup>
      <Version>$(GitSemVerMajor).$(GitSemVerMinor).$(GitSemVerPatch)$(GitSemVerDashLabel)</Version>
    </PropertyGroup>
  </Target>

It works quite well.

Here's a couple more:

https://github.com/clariuslabs/clide/blob/dev/src/Version.targets
https://github.com/NuGet/NuGet.Build.Packaging/blob/dev/src/Directory.Build.targets
https://github.com/MobileEssentials/Merq/blob/master/src/Merq.targets

from gitinfo.

The Git* properties are populated when the GitInfo target runs (and the version ones when GitVersion runs).

You can't reference those properties before those targets have run. The updated docs on MSBuild go into quite a bit more details on how properties/items/targets are evaluated and run and when. It might be worth checking those out, they are quite well written, I'd say: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/msbuild-properties
