Need MSBuild task to integrate with build systems

[majastrz]

This will facilitate internal testing/dogfooding.

This needs #313 to work right.

@majastrz - Is this addressed by az cli integration? I don't know if that is available in MSBuild

[majastrz]

No, it's not. There's two things we would need for this:

1. Publish the compiler as a nuget
2. A task nuget to wrap the call to the compiler into a native task.

You might ultimately want to build an MSBuild task that shells out to the compiler. There's a significant amount of complexity that you take on by trying to load dependencies into the MSBuild process - in particular something like Newtonsoft.Json as a dependency is fraught will peril, and the amount of peril increases with every additional dependency.

I've built a few of these kinds of things. https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/tree/master/src/RazorSdk/Targets

Feel free to pull me in if want to discuss further.

Will do. Yeah, the plan is to keep it out of (msbuild) proc for exactly those reasons.

Cool beans. Tis a good plan then 🤣
