'Build' target (and .nuget.g.props) not included in binlog?

[japj]

Hi again,

I am seeing some weirdness with package restore and binlog files (causing me some confusion when analyzing a totally different issue).

I made a testcase (based of an example in RepositoryTests.cs)

Basically this example is trying to:

• confirm that PackageReference is actually consumed during a build
• make a binlog of the whole process so I can do an analysis of what MSBuild is doing

However, the resulting binlog only shows the "Restore" target in the binlog, whereas I would also have expected a "Build" target in the binlog.

Also searching for PkgPackageA in the binlog does not get any hits, even though the ClassLibraryA.csproj.nuget.g.props contains it on disk.

This is tested with:

• VS2022 17.0.6
• MSBuildProjectCreator main branch

Note: in order to inspect the binlog file, you need to set a breakpoint to prevent automatic cleanup of the temp folder.

public void BuildCanConsumePackageWithGeneratePathProperty()
{
    string binLogPath = Path.Combine(TestRootPath, "test.binlog");

    using (PackageRepository.Create(TestRootPath)
            .Package("PackageB", "1.0", out Package packageB)
                .Library(TargetFramework)
            .Package("PackageA", "1.0.0", out Package packageA)
                .Dependency(packageB, TargetFramework)
                .Library(TargetFramework))
    {
        using (ProjectCollection projectCollection = new ProjectCollection())
        {
            projectCollection.RegisterLogger(new BinaryLogger
            {
                Parameters = $"LogFile={binLogPath}",
            });

            ProjectCreator.Templates.SdkCsproj(
                    path: Path.Combine(TestRootPath, "ClassLibraryA", "ClassLibraryA.csproj"),
                    targetFramework: TargetFramework,
                    projectCollection: projectCollection)
                .ItemPackageReference(packageA, metadata: new Dictionary<string, string>
                {
                    { "GeneratePathProperty", "true" },
                })
                .TryBuild(restore: true, out bool result, out BuildOutput buildOutput)
                .TryGetPropertyValue("PkgPackageA", out string packagePath);

            result.ShouldBeTrue(buildOutput.GetConsoleLog());
            packagePath.ShouldNotBeEmpty();
        }

        // NOTE: binlog does not look correct and seems to be missing actual content for PkgPackageA 
    }
}
