I am trying to update Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user property sheet, in which planning to update below mentioned settings.
1. c++ -> General -> optimization -> optimization = Disabled (/Od).
2. Linker -> General -> output directory = C:\BuildPath.
To complete above mentioned task I have updated existing Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user property files in VS 2013. But I am getting a problem, when some projects are having manual output directory project setting (i.e. D:\BuildProjectPath) and those project outdir is not getting updated from Microsoft.Cpp.Win32.user property files. to update these setting i have to manually select .
let me know how can we resolve this issue.

I migrated a 3rd-party tool's gradle.build configs, so it uses android gradle plugin 3.5.3 and gradle 5.4.1.
The build goes all smoothly, but when I'm trying to make an .aab archive, things got broken because the toolchain expects the output .aab file to be named MyApplicationId.aab, but the new gradle defaults to output MyApplicationId-release.aab, with the buildType suffix which wasn't there.
I tried to search for a solution, but documentations about product flavors are mostly about adding suffix. How do I prevent the default "-release" suffix to be added? There wasn't any product flavor blocks in the toolchain's gradle config files.
I realzed that I have to create custom tasks after reading other questions and answers:
How to change the generated filename for App Bundles with Gradle?
Renaming applicationVariants.outputs' outputFileName does not work because those are for .apks.
I'm using Gradle 5.4.1 so my Copy task syntax reference is here.
I don't quite understand where the "app.aab" name string came from, so I defined my own aabFile name string to match my toolchain's output.
I don't care about the source file so it's not deleted by another delete task.
Also my toolchain seems to be removing unknown variables surrounded by "${}" so I had to work around ${buildDir} and ${flavor} by omitting the brackets and using concatenation for proper delimiting.
tasks.whenTaskAdded { task ->
if (task.name.startsWith("bundle")) { // e.g: buildRelease
def renameTaskName = "rename${task.name.capitalize()}Aab" // renameBundleReleaseAab
def flavorSuffix = task.name.substring("bundle".length()).uncapitalize() // "release"
tasks.create(renameTaskName, Copy) {
def path = "$buildDir/outputs/bundle/" + "$flavorSuffix/"
def aabFile = "${android.defaultConfig.applicationId}-" + "$flavorSuffix" + ".aab"
from(path) {
include aabFile
rename aabFile, "${android.defaultConfig.applicationId}.aab"
}
into path
}
task.finalizedBy(renameTaskName)
}
}
As the original answer said: This will add more tasks than necessary, but those tasks will be skipped since they don't match any folder.
e.g.
Task :app:renameBundleReleaseResourcesAab NO-SOURCE
I am creating a new build step with a separate task. The schema for the BoolProperty StringProperty includes a Default, but there seems no way to get VS(2017) to apply the default value, when the user has not chosen an option
You can inherit the (default) values from .props file. Create a file and named it as Directory.Build.props in your project folder.

I am using WIX 3.7, and I am wanting to have my MSI and BURN log files, be created at my desired location. I tried verbatim both the approaches, mentioned in How to set or get all logs in a custom bootstrapper application newsgroup post. However, Log File gets created in the default location. Since I had time on hand, I decided to explore WIX 3.7 through WIX 3.9 Source Code, attempting to find where BURN_PACKAGE-> sczLogPathVariable data member is used.
However I found just 5 references to BURN_PACKAGE-> sczLogPathVariable
\wix38-debug\src\burn\engine\logging.cpp(191):
if ((!fRollback && pPackage->sczLogPathVariable && *pPackage->sczLogPathVariable) ||
\wix38-debug\src\burn\engine\logging.cpp(197): hr = VariableSetString(pVariables, fRollback ? pPackage->sczRollbackLogPathVariable : pPackage->sczLogPathVariable, sczLogPath, FALSE);
\wix38-debug\src\burn\engine\package.cpp(152):
hr = XmlGetAttributeEx(pixnNode, L"LogPathVariable", &pPackage->sczLogPathVariable);
\wix38-debug\src\burn\engine\package.cpp(303):
ReleaseStr(pPackage->sczLogPathVariable);
\wix38-debug\src\burn\engine\package.h(165):
LPWSTR sczLogPathVariable; // name of the variable that will be set to the log path.
I was expecting some code that would actually retrieve the value of MY VARIABLE and then CONCATENATE that value with the Log File Name that was synthesized, to create the complete file path. Maybe I am missing something obvious ? Do you guys have any suggestions ?
*Package/#LogPathVariable is used to specify a variable that gets the path to the log. To control the logging, use the Log element.

|--Manager.cpp
|--Specializations
| |--Manager.cpp
Building this Boost.Build tries to create
/bin/...
|--Manager.o
|--Manager.o
but fails. How to resolve this automatically? I read FAQ item, but I don't like the solution, as I have to fix things manually when I have a same class name, but different namespace. Would it be possible to make Boost.Build automatically prefix object file names with directory?
/bin/...
|--Manager.o
|--Specializations.Manager.o
Or duplicate the source directory tree?
/bin/...
|--Manager.o
|--Specializations
| |--Manager.o
This behavior has been changed a long time ago and should just work. Boost.Build now mimics the source structure, i.e. you should get both bin/Manager.o and bin/Specializations/Manager.o.
for some test I need to run a data driven test with a configuration that is generated (via reflection) in the ClassInitialize method (by using reflection). I tried out everything, but I just can not get the data source properly set up.
The test takes a list of classes in a csv file (one line per class) and then will test that the mappings to the database work out well (i.e. try to get one item from the database for every entity, which will throw an exception when the table structure does not match).
The testmethod is:
[DataSource(
"Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.DataSource.CSV",
"|DataDirectory|\\EntityMappingsTests.Types.csv",
"EntityMappingsTests.Types#csv",
DataAccessMethod.Sequential)
]
[TestMethod()]
public void TestMappings () {
Obviously the file is EntityMappingsTests.Types.csv. It should be in the DataDirectory.
Now, in the Initialize method (marked with ClassInitialize) I put that together and then try to write it.
WHERE should I write it to? WHERE IS THE DataDirectory?
I tried:
File.WriteAllText(context.TestDeploymentDir + "\\EntityMappingsTests.Types.csv", types.ToString());
File.WriteAllText("EntityMappingsTests.Types.csv", types.ToString());
Both result in "the unit test adapter failed to connect to the data source or read the data". More exact:
Error details: The Microsoft Jet database engine could not find the
object 'EntityMappingsTests.Types.csv'. Make sure the object exists
and that you spell its name and the path name correctly.
So where should I put that file?
I also tried just writing it to the current directory and taking out the DataDirectory part - same result. Sadly, there is limited debugging support here.
Please use the ProcessMonitor tool from technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645. Put a filter on MSTest.exe or the associate qtagent32.exe and find out what locations it is trying to load from and at what point in time in the test loading process. Then please provide an update on those details here .
After you add the CSV file to your VS project, you need to open the properties for it. Set the Property "Copy To Output Directory" to "Copy Always". The DataDirectory defaults to the location of the compiled executable, which runs from the output directory so it will find it there.
