Wrong platform "Any CPU" for project file (expects "AnyCPU")

[thomaslevesque]

What You Are Seeing?

If I use the MSBuild method to build a .csproj (rather than a solution) with PlatformTarget = PlatformTarget.MSIL, the wrong value is passed for the Platform property: for a solution, the correct value is "Any CPU", but for a project it's "AnyCPU" (no space). See this article for the explanation.

What is Expected?

When the file to build is a project rather than a solution, Cake should pass "AnyCPU" as the platform.

What version of Cake are you using?

0.11

Are you running on a 32 or 64 bit system?

64 bit

What environment are you running on? Windows? Linux? Mac?

Windows 8.1

Are you running on a CI Server? If so, which one?

Not right now

How Did You Get This To Happen? (Steps to Reproduce)

By building a .csproj with PlatformTarget = PlatformTarget.MSIL

Output Log

"D:\path\to\the\project\MyProject.csproj" (build target) (1) ->
(_CheckForInvalidConfigurationAndPlatform target) ->
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\14.0\bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(723,5): error : The OutputPath property is not set for project 'MyProject.csproj'. Please check to make sure that you have specified a valid combination of Configuration and Platform for this project. Configuration='Release' Platform='Any CPU'. You may be seeing this message because you are trying to build a project without a solution file, and have specified a non-default Configuration or Platform that doesn't exist for this project. [D:\path\to\the\project\MyProject.csproj]

@thomaslevesque Sorry for not getting back to you sooner about this. Everything looks fine at first glance. Sorry again. Will take a look at this tomorrow.

No problem @patriksvensson, there's no rush ;)

[thomaslevesque]

I realize now that a better way to fix it would be to add a Project property to MSBuildSettings, rather than relying on the extension to determine if it's a solution or project. If you prefer this approach, I'll update my PR.

@thomaslevesque I think the current implementation is good 😄 Not at a computer now but will take a look at it tonight.
