Pull Request Overview
Fixes a syntax error in the MSBuild Outputs attribute for the _ProcessTextReplacementFiles target to ensure proper output tracking and prevent unnecessary rebuilds.
- Corrects a missing closing quote in the
Outputsmetadata transform. - Restores valid MSBuild expression so outputs are recognized.
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)
eng/ReplaceText.targets:62
- The transform string in the
Outputsattribute was missing its closing quote, causing MSBuild to treat it as an invalid expression and always rebuild. This addition correctly closes the quote so MSBuild can detect outputs properly.
Outputs="@(_TextReplacementFile->'%(_TextReplacementIntermediateFile)')"

The
_ProcessTextReplacementFilestarget specifies an invalid expression in itsOutputsattribute leading to MSBuild not properly checking the output and always rebuilding this target. This was found while prototyping a new set of functionality in MSBuild that is more strict about input and output declarations and failed on this.
