为什么我在 Visual Studio 2019 Output 与管理员开发 cmd 提示之间得到不同的 MSBuild 行为

Question

Given:
Visual Studio 2019 C# Console Application
.Net Framework 4.6.1

I'm just testing a simple AfterBuild target with a simple message. However, I'm getting different behavior between editor output and admin cmd prompt. Message doesn't show up in output window but it does in cmd prompt.

Answer 1

Visual Studio uses minimal build output verbosity by default (you can check it via Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->Build and Run->MSBuild project build output verbosity option), while in command line it's set to normal by default. Therefore you can see the message in command line, but not in the VS output.

You should change the option in Visual Studio or set the Importance of message to High

<Message Text="Testing 123" Importance="High"/>
