#msbuild #binlog #dotnet

If anyone wants samples of how to read MSBuild binlogs programmatically, the binlogtool project contains a bunch. Here's an example of dumping all properties and their values from a binlog:

binlogtool is a .NET tool, install using:

`dotnet tool update -g binlogtool`

#dotnet #msbuild #binlog

Pushed a small update to the MSBuild Log Viewer VS Code extension. It should now be able to open .NET 8 binlogs

One problem we have with #MSBuild #binlogs is when the MSBuild team updates the #binlog format, older versions of MSBuild.StructuredLogger NuGet package can't read the new format and blow up with an exception.

People use the library in various CI and tools. I wish I had a way to notify them all to update the NuGet to latest, which adds support for the latest format. The library unfortunately can't be easily made forwards-compatible.

Pushed a big update to the MSBuild Log Viewer VS Code extension (still experimental!)

- no more emoji - use VS Code icons
- better display of search results in side view (and you can have multiple searches per binlog)
- bookmarks! pin log items in the side view
- long log entires open in real VS Code editor windows instead of in a div inside the binlog document

So I made a thing...

It's a VS Code extension based on Kirill Osenkov's @KirillOsenkov MS Build structured log viewer.

The desktop version runs on CoreCLR, the https://insiders.vscode.dev version runs using the new (and still very experimental!) .NET 8 WASI workload on top of VS Code's WASI extension host (https://code.visualstudio.com/blogs/2023/06/05/vscode-wasm-wasi)
