Is there a way to list all defined variables in an executing MSBuild project?
I'm trying to figure out exactly what paths and variables are set (to pass into WiX), and it's difficult to debug everything. Essentially, I would like something equivelent to running set at the command line. Example:
C:\Users\dsokol>set
ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\ProgramData
APPDATA=C:\Users\dsokol\AppData\Roaming
asl.log=Destination=file
CLASSPATH=.;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\QTJava.zip
CommonProgramFiles=C:\Program Files\Common Files
CommonProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files
...
Except that I would like it to list out all of the MSBuild variables (such as Target, OutDir?, and all the crap I've defined in the top of the XML file. Ideally:
$(OutDir)="C:\MyOutDir\bin"
$(ProductVersion)="6.1.0"
$(Platform)="Win32"
Does such a thing exist?
Have you tried running msbuild with with /v:diag command line option? This prints out all of the properties which includes the environment variables and the properties that have been set.
I bingoogled everywhere and couldn't find anything about existing code that does it, so I came with my own approach.
First - you build a project with msbuild using the preprocess/pp parameter to put all the linked projects to a single file.
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe" /verbosity:detailed /fl /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform=x86 MyApp.csproj /pp:flatproject.proj >detailedlog.txt
That already gives you a single project xml file with all properties that were set (perhaps except the environment variables or the ones passed with the /p parameter to msbuild or perhaps some others that might be set otherwise). For me that's over 800 properties. Now if you want to compile a list in alphabetical order - you could do that with a little bit of code - in my case C# and XAML:
<Window x:Class="WpfApplication4.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:local="clr-namespace:WpfApplication4"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
<Grid>
<TextBox
x:Name="tb"
VerticalAlignment="Stretch"
HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"
VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Visible"/>
</Grid>
</Window>
C# bit:
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
Dictionary<string,string> properties = new Dictionary<string, string>();
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
var xml = new XmlDocument();
xml.LoadXml(File.ReadAllText(#"c:\git\Photos\Photos\AppStubCS\AppStubCS.Windows\x.prop"));
PopulateProperties(xml);
SortAndOutput();
}
private void SortAndOutput()
{
var sb = new StringBuilder();
foreach (var kvp in properties.OrderBy(kvp => kvp.Key))
{
sb.AppendFormat("{0}: {1}\r\n", kvp.Key, kvp.Value);
}
this.tb.Text = sb.ToString();
}
private void PopulateProperties(XmlNode xml)
{
if (xml.Name == "PropertyGroup")
{
foreach (var childNode in xml.ChildNodes.OfType<XmlElement>())
{
var name = childNode.Name;
var val = childNode.InnerText;
if (properties.ContainsKey(name))
{
properties[name] = val;
}
else
{
properties.Add(name, val);
}
}
}
else
{
foreach (var childNode in xml.ChildNodes.OfType<XmlElement>())
{
PopulateProperties(childNode);
}
}
}
}

For some reason, /v:diagnostic did not dump the environment variables for me.
I tried some stuff, and then the sort-of obvious simple thing worked. Try:
<Exec Command='set' />
You might want to try Debugging MSBuild script with VisualStudio. I haven't tried it, but it seems like it could allow you to step through a script and also list variables.
I know this question is a little old and I'm not sure if there's actually a way to enumerate all defined property names in MSBuild parlance (I'm not aware of one), but I would recommend using the /bl (/binlog[:filename]) switch and loading the resulting binary log in the MSBuild Binary and Structured Log Viewer which will not only tell you every property defined and its value, but also show what the values were as each target or task is called throughout the build. This tool has been incredibly useful for learning the inner workings and finding appropriate extension points when customizing MSBuild and can even take you to the line of MSBuild xml that was being executed when you double click on events in the log. There's also a Visual Studio extension mentioned on the site linked that can be used to troubleshoot design time builds (when VS calls MSBuild for things like XAML previews, etc.)

I have to maintanance a old Software that officially uses MSXML3. When I look for the Exports of a Project Library (with dumpbin) I find a Function named GetNodeText:
560 22F 0003CA40
?GetNodeText#CBgsXML##SA?AVCString##V?$_com_ptr_t#V?$_com_IIID#UIXMLDOMNode#MSXML2##$1?_GUID_2933bf80_7b36_11d2_b20e_00c04f983e60##3U__s_GUID##A####PBD#Z
When I have a look to the registered COM-Interfaces and search for "{2933bf80-7b36-11d2-b20e-00c04f983e60}" (from Export) I find the following Entry:

The Function Looks like this:
CString ClassA::GetNodeText( IXMLDOMNodePtr spNode, LPCTSTR pszXPath )
{
ASSERT( ::AfxIsValidString( pszXPath ) );
if( spNode )
spNode = spNode->selectSingleNode( pszXPath );
return ( spNode != NULL ) ? (LPCWSTR) spNode->text : NULL;
}
It seems that the Function selectSingleNode (function of msxml3.dll) wrapped internally the same COM-Object (IXMLDOMNode) like selectSingleNode (function of msxml6.dll).
Isn't it so? Or I'am wrong? How does it work with the Functions?
I'm simply trying to get no output from a build except the error/warning summary at the end. Not exactly a demanding task.
The command line:
msbuild.exe /nologo /verbosity:quiet /consoleloggerparameters:summary project.sln
As described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164311.aspx
It appears MSBuild isn't working as it should - there is no output at all. with /verbosity:normal there is tonnes of output and a useful error/warning summary at the end, is there any way of just not seeing the noise?
MSBuild reports version 12.0.21005.1 as distributed with Studio Express 2013.
late to the party, but MSBuild has the option /verbosity:quiet now and it doesn't print out anything beside error and warnings.
You can specify the following verbosity levels:
q[uiet], m[inimal], n[ormal], d[etailed], and diag[nostic]
Documentation source: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164311.aspx
Use /consoleloggerparameters:ErrorsOnly or clp:ErrorsOnly to solve your problem.
I don't think there is a set of options thet matches what you want exactly. But since you're on the commandline anyway, using findstr/grep/tail and the likes is always a good option. Here's an example using powershell to display the summary and what comes after it
powershell -Command "msbuild.exe /nologo project.sln |
Select-String 'Build succeeded|failed' -Context 0, 100"
Another possibility is to use a custom logger, which is not hard as it sounds at first and there are tons of examples on the net. Plus it has the benefit you can get any custom output you want. Here's code to replicate the summary:
using System;
using Microsoft.Build.Utilities;
using Microsoft.Build.Framework;
public class CustomLogger : Logger
{
private int warnings = 0;
private int errors = 0;
public override void Initialize( IEventSource eventSource )
{
eventSource.WarningRaised += ( s, e ) => ++warnings;
eventSource.ErrorRaised += ( s, e ) => ++errors;
eventSource.BuildFinished += ( s, e ) =>
{
Console.WriteLine( errors == 0 ? "Build succeeded." : "Build failed." );
Console.WriteLine( String.Format( " {0} Warning(s)", warnings ) );
Console.WriteLine( String.Format( " {0} Error(s)", errors ) );
};
}
}
Put this in a file CustomLogger.cs and compile it:
csc /t:library CustomLogger.cs /reference:Microsoft.Build.Utilities.v4.0.dll;Microsoft.Build.Framework.dll
which creates a CustomLogger dll file. Now use it like this:
msbuild /nologo /logger:CustomLogger.dll /noconsolelogger project.sln
Use /verbosity:minimal instead. This prints much less, but not nothing.
I'm trying to learn how to use addRef.
I think I need a way to tell addRef which field should link with 'id' in Master?
To test, I have a 'master' table:
<?php
class Model_TestMaster extends Model_Table {
public $table='testmaster';
function init(){
parent::init();
$this->addField('Description');
$this->hasMany('testslave');
}
}
and a 'slave' table:
<?php
class Model_TestSlave extends Model_Table {
public $table='testslave';
function init(){
parent::init();
$this->addField('MastersID');
$this->addField('SubDescription');
}
}
and then I set up the 'page' like this:
<?php
class page_test extends Page {
function init(){
parent::init();
$page=$this;
$tabs = $this->add('Tabs');
$crud = $tabs->addTab('Master')->add('CRUD');
$crud->setModel('testmaster');
if (! $crud->isEditing()) {
// add subCRUD
$sub_crud = $crud->addRef('testslave', array(
'extra_fields' => array('MastersID','SubDescription')));
}
}
I think I need a way to tell addRef which field should link with 'id' in Master?
It displays Ok, but when I press the button to expand the slave I get:

Thank you,

Should be $this->hasMany('TestSlave'); not testslave. Otherwise there will be problems on Linux.
Don't use $this->addField('MastersID'); Instead use $this->hasOne('TestMaster');
Should be $crud->setModel('TestMaster'); not testmaster. Otherwise there will be problems on Linux.
Instead
$sub_crud = $crud->addRef('testslave', array(
'extra_fields' => array('MastersID','SubDescription')));
use
$sub_crud = $crud->addRef('TestSlave', array(
'extra_fields' => array('testmaster_id','SubDescription')));
Also you can use field "testmaster" in extra_fields. That'll be title field of TestMaster model.
Idea here is that when you put hasOne('ModelName') in your model, then 2 fields are created in model.
First one will have name "modelname_id" and will consist of ID of related model.
Second will have name "modelname" and will consist of title field of related model.
I have a problem running the NativeProcess if I put spaces in the arguments
if (Capabilities.os.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1)
{
fPath = "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe";
args.push("/c");
args.push(scriptDir.resolvePath("helloworld.bat").nativePath);
}
file = new File(fPath);
var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
args.push("blah");
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = args;
process = new NativeProcess();
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
in the above code, if I use
args.push("blah") everything works fine
if I use
args.push("blah blah") the program breaks as if the file wasn't found.
Seems like I'm not the only one:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/message/159521
As one of the users their pointed out, it really seems like an awful limitation by a cutting edge SDK of 21st century. Even Alex Harui didn't have the answer there and he's known to workaround every Adobe bug:)
Any ideas?
I am using AIR 2.6 SDK in JavaScript like this, and it is working fine even for spaces.
please check your code with this one.
var file = air.File.applicationDirectory;
file = file.resolvePath("apps");
if (air.Capabilities.os.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1)
{
file = file.resolvePath(appFile);
}
var nativeProcessStartupInfo = new air.NativeProcessStartupInfo();
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
var args =new air.Vector["<String>"]();
for(i=0; i<arguments.length; i++)
args.push(arguments[i]);
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = args;
process = new air.NativeProcess();
process.addEventListener(air.ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutputData);
process.addEventListener(air.ProgressEvent.STANDARD_INPUT_PROGRESS, inputProgressListener);
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
To expand on this: The reason that this works (see post above):
var args =new air.Vector["<String>"]();
for(i=0; i<arguments.length; i++)
args.push(arguments[i]);
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = args;
is that air expects that the arguments being passed to the nativeProcess are delimited by spaces. It chokes if you pass "C:\folder with spaces\myfile.doc" (and BTW for AIR a file path for windows needs to be "C:\\folder with spaces\\myfile.doc") you would need to do this:
args.push("C:\\folder");
args.push("with");
args.push("spaces\\myfile.doc");
Hence, something like this works:
var processArgs = new air.Vector["<String>"]();
var path = "C:\\folder with spaces\\myfile.doc"
var args = path.split(" ")
for (var i=0; i<args.length; i++) {
processArgs.push(args[i]);
};
UPDATE - SOLUTION
The string generated by the File object by either nativePath or resolvePath uses "\" for the path. Replace "\" with "/" and it works.
I'm having the same problem trying to call 7za.exe using NativeProcess. If you try to access various windows directories the whole thing fails horribly. Even trying to run command.exe and calling a batch file fails because you still have to try to pass a path with spaces through "arguments" on the NativeProcessStartupInfo object.
I've spent the better part of a day trying to get this to work and it will not work. Whatever happens to spaces in "arguments" totally destroys the path.
Example 7za.exe from command line:
7za.exe a MyZip.7z "D:\docs\My Games\Some Game Title\Maps\The Map.map"
This works fine. Now try that with Native Process in AIR. The AIR arguments sanitizer is FUBAR.
I have tried countless ways to put in arguments and it just fails. Interesting I can get it to spit out a zip file but with no content in the zip. I figure this is due to the first argument set finally working but then failing for the path argument.
For example:
processArgs[0] = 'a';
processArgs[1] = 'D:\apps\flash builder 4.5\project1\bin-debug\MyZip.7z';
processArgs[2] = 'D:\docs\My Games\Some Game Title\Maps\The Map.map';
For some reason this spits out a zip file named: bin-debugMyZip.7z But the zip is empty.
Whatever AIR is doing it is fraking up path strings. I've tried adding quotes around those paths in various ways. Nothing works.
I thought I could fall back on calling a batch file from this example:
http://technodesk.wordpress.com/2010/04/15/air-2-0-native-process-batch-file/
But it fails as well because it still requires the path to be passed through arguments.
Anyone have any luck calling 7z or dealing with full paths in the NativeProcess? All these little happy tutorials don't deal with real windows folder structure.
Solution that works for me - set path_with_space as "nativeProcessStartupInfo.workingDirectory" property. See example below:
public function openPdf(pathToPdf:String):void
}
var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new NativeProcessStartupInfo();
var file:File = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe");
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
if (Capabilities.os.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") > -1)
{
nativeProcessStartupInfo.workingDirectory = File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath(pathToPdf).parent;
var processArgs:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
processArgs[0] = "/k";
processArgs[1] = "start";
processArgs[2] = "test.pdf";
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = processArgs;
process = new NativeProcess();
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
process.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutputData);
}
args.push( '"blah blah"' );
Command line after all supports spaces if they are nested whithin "".
So if lets say you have a file argument :
'test/folder with space/blah'
Convert it to the following
'test/"folder with space"/blah'
Optionally use a filter:
I once had a problem like this in AIR, i just simply filter the text before i push it into the array. My refrence use CASA lib though
import org.casalib.util.ArrayUtil;
http://casalib.org/
/**
* Filters a string input for 'safe handling', and returns it
**/
public function stringFilter(inString:String, addPermitArr:Array = null, permitedArr:Array = null):String {
var sourceArr:Array = inString.split(''); //Splits the string input up
var outArr:Array = new Array();
if(permitedArr == null) {
permitedArr = ("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890" as String).split('');
}
if( addPermitArr != null ) {
permitedArr = permitedArr.concat( addPermitArr );
}
for(var i:int = 0; i < sourceArr.length; i++) {
if( ArrayUtil.contains( permitedArr, sourceArr[i] ) != 0 ) { //it is allowed
outArr.push( sourceArr[i] );
}
}
return (outArr.join('') as String);
}
And just filter it via
args.push( stringFilter( 'blah blah', new Array('.') ) );
Besides, it is really bad practice to use spaces in file names / arguments, use '_' instead. This seems to be originating from linux though. (The question of spaces in file names)
This works for me on Windws7:
var Xargs:Array = String("/C#echo#a trully hacky way to do this :)#>#C:\\Users\\Benjo\\AppData\\Roaming\\com.eblagajna.eBlagajna.POS\\Local Store\\a.a").split("#");
var args:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
for (var i:int=0; i<Xargs.length; i++) {
trace("Pushing: "+Xargs[i]);
args.push(Xargs[i]);
};
NPI.arguments = args;
If your application path or parameter contains spaces, make sure to wrap it in quotes. For example path of the application has spaces C:\Program Files (x86)\Camera\Camera.exe use quotes like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Camera\Camera.exe"
In ClearCase, you can list the content of a directory using "cleartool ls".
My question is how can I do the same thing using CAL (ClearCase Automation Layer). The reason I prefer the COM API is because I won't have to parse the output of "ls".
So far, I am able to get the VOB and the View successfully, but I didn't find any method for listing the content.
My code so far:
IClearCase cc = new ApplicationClass();
CCVOB vob = cc.get_VOB("\\VOB-name");
CCView view = cc.get_View("ViewTag");
Thank you for your help.
I wrote VonC's answer in C# for those interrested.
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles("View path here", "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
foreach (string file in files)
{
try
{
CCVersion ver = cc.get_Version(file);
Console.WriteLine(ver.Path);
}
catch(Exception) {/*the file is not versioned*/}
}
May be this is a good start:
Set CC = Wscript.CreateObject("ClearCase.Application")
Set DirVer = CC.Version(".")
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set Folder = FSO.GetFolder(DirVer.Path)
Wscript.Echo "Files under source control: "
For Each File in Folder.Files
On Error Resume Next
Set Ver = CC.Version(File.Name)
If Err.Number = 0 Then
Wscript.Echo Ver.ExtendedPath
End If
Next
The idea being to use ICCVersion methods to try accessing the version of a file. If it does not return an error, it is indeed a versioned file.
Now I know the file is versioned, how can I remove it (rmname).
Do not use RemoveVersion():
Removes irretrievably the version (equivalent to cleartool rmver)
WARNING! This is a potentially destructive operation. Because CAL does not prompt the user for input under any circumstances, there is no confirmation step when RemoveVersion is invoked. Invoking RemoveVersion is equivalent to running cleartool rmver with the -force option.
Instead use the RemoveName from the ICCElement interface.
