I need to create multiple /testcontainer: parameters to feed into a task that exec's MsTest.
I have the following :
<ItemGroup>
<TestFiles Include="$(ProjectPath)\**\UnitTest.*.dll" />
</ItemGroup>
for each match in TestFiles I would like to build a string like so:
"/testcontainer:UnitTest.SomeLibrary1.dll"
"/testcontainer:UnitTest.SomeLibrary2.dll"
"/testcontainer:UnitTest.SomeLibrary3.dll"
I am trying to use the internals of MSBuild without having to create a custom task, is this possible ?
TIA
