Cibles de MSBuild

Les cibles regroupent les tâches dans un ordre particulier et permet au processus de génération d’être factorisé en unités plus petites. Par exemple, une cible peut supprimer tous les fichiers du répertoire de sortie pour préparer la génération, pendant qu’une autre compile les entrées pour le projet et les place dans le répertoire vide. Pour plus d’informations sur les tâches, consultez Tâches MSBuild.

Déclarer des cibles dans le fichier projet

Les cibles sont déclarées dans le fichier projet avec l’élément Target. Par exemple, le code XML suivant crée une cible nommée Construct, qui appelle ensuite la tâche Csc avec le type d’élément Compile.

<Target Name="Construct">
    <Csc Sources="@(Compile)" />
</Target>

Tout comme les propriétés MSBuild, les cibles peuvent être redéfinies. Par exemple,

<Target Name="MyTarget">
    <Message Text="First occurrence" />
</Target>
<Target Name="MyTarget">
    <Message Text="Second occurrence" />
</Target>

Si MyTarget s’exécute, il affiche uniquement « Deuxième occurrence », car la deuxième définition de MyTarget masque la première.

MSBuild est dépend de l’ordre d’importation, et la dernière définition d’une cible est la définition utilisée. Si vous essayez de redéfinir une cible, elle ne prend pas effet si la cible intégrée est définie par la suite.

Ordre de génération des cibles

Les cibles doivent être classées si l’entrée d’une cible dépend de la sortie d’une autre.

Il existe plusieurs façons de spécifier l’ordre d’exécution des cibles.

  • Cibles initiales

  • Cibles par défaut

  • Première cible

  • Dépendances de cible

  • BeforeTargets et AfterTargets

Une cible n’est jamais exécutée deux fois au cours d’une même génération, même si une cible suivante de la génération en dépend. Une fois qu’une cible est exécutée, sa contribution à la génération est terminée.

Pour plus d’informations sur l’ordre de génération des cibles, consultez Ordre de génération des cibles.

Projets de style SDK

De nombreux projets plus récents utilisent un SDK, ce qui signifie qu’ils utilisent l’attribut Sdk sur l’élément racine Project, par exemple, <Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">. Consultez Référencer un SDK de projet. Dans ce cas, l’ordre de définition de certaines cibles n’est pas nécessairement évident, car les importations pour les cibles sont implicitement ajoutées après la fin de votre fichier projet. Dans les versions antérieures de MSBuild, ou dans les projets qui n’utilisent pas l’attribut Sdk, il était courant d’étendre le comportement d’une cible, par exemple, Build en remplaçant la cible AfterBuild ou BeforeBuild. Toutefois, cela ne fonctionne pas dans les projets qui utilisent un SDK, car AfterBuild est défini dans une importation implicite après le code de votre fichier projet. Par conséquent, pour étendre le comportement d’une cible existante, créez une cible et spécifiez BeforeTargets (ou AfterTargets, le cas échéant) de la façon suivante :

<Target Name="MessageBeforePublish" BeforeTargets="BeforePublish">
  <Message Text="BeforePublish" Importance="high" />
</Target>

Donnez à votre cible un nom descriptif, comme pour une fonction dans le code.

Dans certains cas, par exemple, quand vous travaillez avec des scripts de build plus anciens qui utilisent AfterBuild, vous pouvez éviter d’utiliser l’attribut Sdk et choisir des importations explicites à la place. Pour convertir un projet de style SDK afin d’utiliser des importations explicites, supprimez l’attribut Sdk="{SdkName}" et ajoutez deux importations de la façon suivante : <import Project="{SdkName}.props"> vers le début du fichier projet, et <import Project="{Sdkname}.targets"> vers la fin. Une fois le changement effectué, vous pouvez redéfinir AfterBuild après l’élément d’importation qui importe le fichier {Sdkname}.targets.

Traitement par lots des cibles

Un élément cible peut avoir un attribut Outputs qui spécifie des métadonnées sous la forme %(<Metadata>). Dans ce cas, MSBuild exécute la cible une fois pour chaque valeur unique de métadonnées, en regroupant par lot les éléments qui ont cette valeur de métadonnées. Par exemple,

<ItemGroup>
    <Reference Include="System.Core">
      <RequiredTargetFramework>3.5</RequiredTargetFramework>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="System.Xml.Linq">
      <RequiredTargetFramework>3.5</RequiredTargetFramework>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Microsoft.CSharp">
      <RequiredTargetFramework>4.0</RequiredTargetFramework>
    </Reference>
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="AfterBuild"
    Outputs="%(Reference.RequiredTargetFramework)">
    <Message Text="Reference:
      @(Reference->'%(RequiredTargetFramework)')" />
</Target>

regroupe les éléments Reference selon leurs métadonnées RequiredTargetFramework. La sortie de la cible ressemble à ceci :

Reference: 3.5;3.5
Reference: 4.0

Le traitement par lot des cibles est rarement utilisé dans les scénarios de génération réels. Le traitement par lot des tâches, en revanche, est plus courant. Pour plus d’informations, consultez l’article Batching (Traitement par lot MSBuild).

Builds incrémentielles

Les builds incrémentielles sont des builds optimisées qui permettent de ne pas exécuter les cibles dont les fichiers de sortie sont à jour par rapport à leurs fichiers d’entrée correspondants. Un élément cible peut avoir à la fois un attribut Inputs, qui indique les éléments que la cible attend comme entrée, et un attribut Outputs qui indique les éléments qu’il produit comme sortie.

Si tous les éléments de sortie sont à jour, MSBuild ignore la cible, ce qui accélère considérablement le processus de génération. C’est ce qu’on appelle une build incrémentielle de la cible. Si seuls certains fichiers sont à jour, MSBuild exécute la cible, sans exécuter ces fichiers. C’est ce qu’on appelle une build incrémentielle partielle de la cible. Pour plus d’informations, consultez Builds incrémentielles.

Kits SDK et cibles de build par défaut

Certaines cibles de build dépendent du kit SDK que vous référencez, le cas échéant. Pour obtenir toutes les cibles disponibles pour un fichier projet, utilisez l’option de ligne de commande -targets ou -ts. Consultez Informations de référence de la ligne de commande MSBuild. Le système de build contient un grand nombre de cibles destinées à un usage interne par la build. Elles sont généralement indiquées par un trait de soulignement (_) au début du nom de la cible. Pour obtenir une liste des cibles publiques uniquement, essayez de rediriger la sortie vers un élément qui filtre les traits de soulignement. Par exemple, dans Bash, quand vous utilisez dotnet build, vous pouvez effectuer les opérations suivantes :

dotnet build -targets path/to/project.csproj | grep -v '_'

Dans PowerShell, vous pouvez effectuer un filtrage avec :

 dotnet build -targets path\to\project.csproj | select-string -pattern '_' -NotMatch

Si vous n’utilisez pas .NET, utilisez MSBuild.exe -ts à la place de dotnet build -ts, suivi des mêmes opérations de redirection et de filtrage.

Pour obtenir la liste des cibles du kit SDK .NET, consultez Microsoft.NET.Publish.targets, par exemple. Vous trouverez ce fichier dans les dossiers d’installation du kit SDK .NET. D’autres kits SDK ont des fichiers .targets similaires dans leurs dossiers d’installation, que vous pouvez parcourir.

Certaines cibles, les cibles par défaut, font partie du système de build .NET et sont référencées, que vous spécifiiez ou non un kit SDK. Les projets C++ ont leur propre ensemble de cibles par défaut. Consultez Composants internes MSBuild pour les projets C++.

===================================================
GetCopyToOutputDirectoryItems
Get all project items that may need to be transferred to the output directory.
This includes baggage items from transitively referenced projects. It would appear
that this target computes full transitive closure of content items for all referenced
projects; however that is not the case. It only collects the content items from its
immediate children and not children of children. The reason this happens is that
the ProjectReferenceWithConfiguration list that is consumed by _SplitProjectReferencesByFileExistence
is only populated in the current project and is empty in the children. The empty list
causes _MSBuildProjectReferenceExistent to be empty and terminates the recursion.

===================================================
IncrementalClean
Remove files that were produced in a prior build but weren't produced in the current build.
The reason is that if, for example, the name of the .exe has changed we want to delete the
old copy.

Leave the Clean cache file containing only the files produced in the current build.

===================================================
PostBuildEvent
Run the post-build event. This step is driven by two parameters:

(1) The $(RunPostBuildEvent) property is set by the user through the IDE and can be one of four values.

        - OnBuildSuccess: In this case, every step of the build must succeed for the post-build step to run.
        - <Blank>: This is the same as OnBuildSuccess.
        - OnOutputUpdated: In this case, the post-build step will run only if the main output assembly was
        actually updated.
        - Always: The post-build step is always run.

(2) The $(_AssemblyTimestampBeforeCompile) and $(_AssemblyTimestampAfterCompile) values are
        set by the _TimeStampBeforeCompile and _TimeStampAfterCompile targets.  If the assembly was actually
        rebuilt during this build, then the two values will be different.
===================================================
<Target Name="PostBuildEvent"
        Condition="'$(PostBuildEvent)' != '' and ('$(RunPostBuildEvent)' != 'OnOutputUpdated' or '$(_AssemblyTimestampBeforeCompile)' != '$(_AssemblyTimestampAfterCompile)')"

Publish
This target is only called when doing ClickOnce publishing outside the IDE, which implicitly builds before publishing.
===================================================
<Target Name="Publish"

<Target Name="SetGenerateManifests"/>

===================================================
PublishOnly
The "PublishOnly" target is intended for ClickOnce publishing inside the IDE, where the build has already been done
by the BuildManager.

===================================================
AllProjectOutputGroups
The targets below drive output groups, which provide generic information about a
project's inputs (e.g., content files, compilation sources, etc.) and built outputs
(e.g., built EXE/DLL, PDB, XML documentation files, etc.)

Each target may produce two kinds of items:  outputs and dependencies.  Outputs are
items from the current project; dependencies are items that are brought into the
current project as a result of referencing other projects or components.

For both outputs and dependencies, the Include attribute
specifies the location of the output/dependency; it must be a full path.  Any number
of additional attributes may be placed on an output/dependency item.
