I attempt to execute the following target but ends up with circular dependency error. I do have a stop condition $(Value) > 0 in target Recursive:
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" DefaultTargets="Build">
<Target Name="Recursive" Condition="$(Value) > 0">
<PropertyGroup>
<Value>$([MSBuild]::Subtract($(Value), 1))</Value>
</PropertyGroup>
<MSBuild Projects="$(MSBuildProjectFile)" Targets="Display" />
</Target>
<Target Name="Display">
<Message Text="Value: $(Value)" />
<MSBuild Projects="$(MSBuildProjectFile)" Targets="Recursive" />
</Target>
<PropertyGroup>
<Value>10</Value>
</PropertyGroup>
<Target Name="Build">
<MSBuild Projects="$(MSBuildProjectFile)" Targets="Display" />
</Target>
</Project>
Your stop condition is fine, but you forgot to pass the recalculated Value property into the next recursion. Change your Recursive target like this:
<Target Name="Recursive" Condition="$(Value) > 0">
<PropertyGroup>
<Value>$([MSBuild]::Subtract($(Value), 1))</Value>
</PropertyGroup>
<MSBuild Projects="$(MSBuildProjectFile)" Targets="Display"
Properties="Value=$(Value)" />
</Target>

After upgrading a WiX installer project (.wixproj) file to v4, the MSBuild step in the project to set the TargetName of the installer file output is no longer working.
I would like to dynamically append the assembly version of the application to be installed to the TargetName of the msi file name i.e. MyApplication.X.X.X.X.msi.
Below is a snippet of the .wixproj file in its current state (I have removed some code for the sake of brevity):
<Project InitialTargets="SetVersion;BeforeBuild;CopyLinkedContentFiles">
<Import Project="Sdk.props" Sdk="WixToolset.Sdk" Version="4.0.0-rc.1" />
[...]
<Target Name="SetVersion">
<GetAssemblyIdentity AssemblyFiles="$(SolutionDir)\bin\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\MyApp.exe">
<Output TaskParameter="Assemblies" ItemName="Assembly" />
</GetAssemblyIdentity>
<CreateProperty Value="$(SolutionName).%(Assembly.Version)">
<Output TaskParameter="Value" PropertyName="TargetName" />
</CreateProperty>
<PropertyGroup>
<DefineConstants>BuildVersion=%(Assembly.Version)</DefineConstants>
</PropertyGroup>
</Target>
<Target Name="CopyLinkedContentFiles" BeforeTargets="Build">
<Copy SourceFiles="%(Content.Identity)" DestinationFiles="%(Content.Link)" SkipUnchangedFiles="true" OverwriteReadOnlyFiles="true" Condition="'%(Content.Link)' != ''" />
</Target>
<Import Project="Sdk.targets" Sdk="WixToolset.Sdk" Version="4.0.0-rc.1" />
[...]
</Project>
The .wixproj previous had the following code to adjust the TargetName:
<Target Name="SetVersion">
<PropertyGroup>
<Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Debug</Configuration>
<Platform Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '' ">x64</Platform>
<SccProjectName>SAK</SccProjectName>
<SccProvider>SAK</SccProvider>
<SccAuxPath>SAK</SccAuxPath>
<SccLocalPath>SAK</SccLocalPath>
<SolutionDir Condition="$(SolutionDir) == '' Or $(SolutionDir) == '*Undefined*'">..\..\OCS.Service\</SolutionDir>
</PropertyGroup>
<GetAssemblyIdentity AssemblyFiles="$(SolutionDir)\bin\$(Platform)\$(Configuration)\MyApp.exe">
<Output TaskParameter="Assemblies" ItemName="AssemblyVersion" />
</GetAssemblyIdentity>
<PropertyGroup>
<DefineConstants>BuildVersion=%(AssemblyVersion.Version)</DefineConstants>
</PropertyGroup>
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetName>$(SolutionName).%(AssemblyVersion.Version)</TargetName>
</PropertyGroup>
</Target>
The latter solution worked as expected prior to upgrading to v4, however, upon building the project and inspecting the output of the build, the change to the TargetName have not been applied.
I have following directories (for example)
./dirA/file1
./dirA/dir/file2
./dirB/file3
./dirB/dir/file4
./dirC/file5
And I want to have them copied to something different, like:
./dirA_renamed/file1
./dirA_renamed/dir/file2
./dirB_renamed_differently/file3
./dirB_renamed_differently/dir/file4
./dirC_renam/file5
The list of directories and their new names is something that does not change very often, but I'd like to use only one Copy.
I tried following:
<ItemGroup>
<ToCopy Include=".\dirA">
<OutputDirName>dirA_renamed</OutputDirName>
</ToCopy>
<ToCopy Include=".\dirB">
<OutputDirName>dirB_renamed_differently</OutputDirName>
</ToCopy>
<ToCopy Include=".\dirC">
<OutputDirName>dirC_renam</OutputDirName>
</ToCopy>
</ItemGroup>
......
<CreateItem Include="%(ToCopy.Directory)\**\*.*">
<Output TaskParameter="Include" ItemName="FilesToCopy" />
</CreateItem>
<Copy SourceFiles="#(FilesToCopy)" DestinationFolder="#(FilesToCopy->'%(OutputDirName)')" />
But nothing happens. If I output FilesToCopy, it is empty. What am I doing wrong?
The hard coded way is the one I know, but I know that you can use parameters, I just haven't figure it out completely yet, to give you a working sample.

I am trying to run multiple commands on a list of files based on a pattern (all files of form *.config under sub directories of a given directory), like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project DefaultTargets="BuildSolution" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<UsingTask TaskName="TransformXml"
AssemblyFile="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v12.0\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.Tasks.dll" />
<PropertyGroup>
<Configuration Condition=" '$(Configuration)' == '' ">Release</Configuration>
<Platform Condition=" '$(Platform)' == '' ">AnyCPU</Platform>
<TransformConfiguration>Release</TransformConfiguration>
<PublishFolder>$(OutDir)_PublishedWebsites</PublishFolder>
</PropertyGroup>
<Target Name="BuildSolution">
<MSBuild Projects="$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\SolutionName.sln"
ContinueOnError="false"
Properties="PublishProfile=$(TransformConfiguration);DeployOnBuild=true" />
</Target>
<ItemGroup>
<ConfigFiles Include="$(PublishFolder)\**\*.config" />
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="TransformWebConfig" AfterTargets="BuildSolution"
Condition="'#(ConfigFiles)'!=''"
Outputs="%(ConfigFiles.Identity)">
<PropertyGroup>
<ConfigFile>%(ConfigFiles.Identity)</ConfigFile>
<BackupFile>$([System.IO.Path]::ChangeExtension($(ConfigFile),".Source.config"))</BackupFile>
<TransformFile>$([System.IO.Path]::ChangeExtension($(ConfigFile),$(TransformConfiguration) + ".Source.config"))</TransformFile>
</PropertyGroup>
<Message Text="$(ConfigFile)" />
<Message Text="$(BackupFile)" />
<Message Text="$(TransformFile)" />
<Copy SourceFiles="$(ConfigFile)"
DestinationFiles="$(BackupFile)" />
<Exec Command="attrib -r $(ConfigFile)" />
<TransformXml Source="$(BackupFile)"
Transform="$(TransformFile)"
Destination="$(ConfigFile)"
StackTrace="false" />
</Target>
</Project>
However, the batch processing of the matching files is not performed.
From outputs I have added I see that the property $(PublishFolder) points to the correct directory, however, the item #(ConfigFiles) is left empty.
I also tried manually listing the directory names and configuration file names like so:
<ItemGroup>
<Sites Include="Site1" />
<Sites Include="Site2" />
</ItemGroup>
<ItemGroup>
<ConfigFiles Include="Web" />
<ConfigFiles Include="NLog" />
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="TransformWebConfig" AfterTargets="BuildSolution">
<PropertyGroup>
<SiteConfigFile>$(PublishFolder)\%(Sites.Identity)\%(ConfigFiles.Identity)</SiteConfigFile>
</PropertyGroup>
<Message Text="$(SiteConfigFile)" />
<Copy SourceFiles="$(SiteConfigFile).config"
DestinationFiles="$(SiteConfigFile).Source.config"/>
<Exec Command="attrib -r $(SiteConfigFile).config" />
<TransformXml Source="$(SiteConfigFile).Source.config"
Transform="$(SiteConfigFile).$(TransformConfiguration).config"
Destination="$(SiteConfigFile).config"
StackTrace="false" />
</Target>
However, in this case, the transform is only applied on one file in one site.
Any idea what to do to get this working?

Edit:
Moving the ItemGroup under the task enabled reading the file list after the files were created, however, now only the first file from the list is transformed:
<ItemGroup>
<ConfigFiles Include="$(PublishFolder)\**\Web.config;$(PublishFolder)\**\NLog.config"
Exclude="$(PublishFolder)\**\Packages.config;$(PublishFolder)\**\*.*.config;$(PublishFolder)\**\bin\*.config" />
</ItemGroup>
<PropertyGroup>
<ConfigFile>%(ConfigFiles.Identity)</ConfigFile>
<BackupFile>$([System.IO.Path]::ChangeExtension($(ConfigFile),".Source.config"))</BackupFile>
<TransformFilePrefix>$([System.String]::Concat($(TransformConfiguration), ".config"))</TransformFilePrefix>
<TransformFile>$([System.IO.Path]::ChangeExtension($(ConfigFile), $(TransformFilePrefix)))</TransformFile>
</PropertyGroup>
<Message Text="$(PublishFolder)" />
<Message Text="#(ConfigFiles)" />
<Message Text="$(ConfigFile)" />
<Message Text="$(BackupFile)" />
<Message Text="$(TransformFile)" />
<Copy SourceFiles="$(ConfigFile)"
DestinationFiles="$(BackupFile)" />
<Exec Command="attrib -r $(ConfigFile)" />
<TransformXml Source="$(BackupFile)"
Transform="$(TransformFile)"
Destination="$(ConfigFile)"
StackTrace="false" />
Found the solution:
Create one target for creating the item group:
<Target Name="ListWebConfigs" AfterTargets="BuildSolution">
<ItemGroup>
<ConfigFiles Include="$(PublishFolder)\**\Web.config;$(PublishFolder)\**\NLog.config"
Exclude="$(PublishFolder)\**\Packages.config;$(PublishFolder)\**\*.*.config;$(PublishFolder)\**\bin\*.config" />
</ItemGroup>
<Message Text="$(PublishFolder)" />
<Message Text="#(ConfigFiles)" />
</Target>
Then another for the actual transforms:
<!-- \x to prevent MSBuild from skipping "because all output files are up-to-date" -->
<Target Name="TransformWebConfig" AfterTargets="ListWebConfigs" Inputs="#(ConfigFiles)" Outputs="%(ConfigFiles.Identity)\x">
<PropertyGroup>
<ConfigFile>%(ConfigFiles.Identity)</ConfigFile>
<BackupFile>$([System.IO.Path]::ChangeExtension($(ConfigFile),".Source.config"))</BackupFile>
<TransformFilePrefix>$([System.String]::Concat($(TransformConfiguration), ".config"))</TransformFilePrefix>
<TransformFile>$([System.IO.Path]::ChangeExtension($(ConfigFile), $(TransformFilePrefix)))</TransformFile>
</PropertyGroup>
<Message Text="$(PublishFolder)" />
<Message Text="#(ConfigFiles)" />
<Message Text="$(ConfigFile)" />
<Message Text="$(BackupFile)" />
<Message Text="$(TransformFile)" />
<Copy SourceFiles="$(ConfigFile)" DestinationFiles="$(BackupFile)" />
<Exec Command="attrib -r $(ConfigFile)" />
<TransformXml Source="$(BackupFile)"
Transform="$(TransformFile)"
Destination="$(ConfigFile)"
StackTrace="false" />
</Target>
I recently upgraded my solution to Visual Studio 2013 and updated the references to NUnit 2.6.3 in the test libraries from 2.6.2. Everything works fine in Visual Studio but my MSBuild scripts that drive the deployment system are completely borked.
The Build files are in a build directory which contains an MSBuild folder with MSBuild.Community.Targets files which are referenced and an NUnit directory containing nunit-console.exe and various dependent files. I upgraded these to 2.6.3 also.
I just get this error...
' System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly
'nunit.framework, Version=2.6.0.12051, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=96d09a1eb7f44a77' or one of its dependencies. The
located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly
reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040) '
I don't get this at all - This worked fine before and all the code was referencing 2.6.2 so I have no idea where 2.6.0 is coming from or how on earth I tell it to look for 2.6.3 (which is right there!!)
Here's my build file (if it helps any)...

Any ideas would be most welcome as I'm at head banging against desk stage. I've asked my desk bear, my rubber duck and Soundwave and none of them have been much use, frankly!
Obscure answer for an obscure problem - It seems I had an old library that was hanging around (Domain.Tests in Logging was a bit of a giveaway) which was causing it to fall over.

This is the piece of target-file. How to simplify this code? How to reduce duplicating of string below?
$(IntermediateOutputPath)$([System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex]::Replace('%(ProtocCompile.RelativeDir)','\.\.[/\\]',''))
Since you already specified a property for that value like so:
<PropertyGroup>
<protooutdir>$(IntermediateOutputPath)$([System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex]::Replace('%(ProtocCompile.RelativeDir)','\.\.[/\\]',''))</protooutdir>
</PropertyGroup>
You can just replace references to that string with the property $(protooutdir) like so:
<CreateItem Include="$(protooutdir)%(ProtocCompile.Filename).cs">
and
<Delete Files="$(protooutdir)%(ProtocCompile.Filename).cs" />
