A single package that lets one process run MSBuild with a bundled pipe logger while another process receives MSBuild event data in real time.

✨ Features

  • XenoAtom.MsBuildPipeLogger: receiver APIs that deserialize events and dispatch the normal MSBuild logging callbacks.
  • Includes the MSBuild logger assembly as isolated copy-to-output content under XenoAtom.MsBuildPipeLogger/.
  • Helper APIs return the bundled logger path/specification to pass directly to MSBuild.
  • Supports anonymous pipes and named pipes from a netstandard2.0 logger assembly.
  • Nullable-enabled projects with package metadata/readme/icon configured for the publishable package.

📦 Package

Install the single package:

dotnet add package XenoAtom.MsBuildPipeLogger

The package copies XenoAtom.MsBuildPipeLogger.Logger.dll to an isolated XenoAtom.MsBuildPipeLogger output subfolder so MSBuild does not probe unrelated application assemblies from the logger directory.

If your host process references Microsoft.Build assemblies directly, use Microsoft.Build.Locator and mark direct Microsoft.Build* package references with ExcludeAssets="runtime" so MSBuild is loaded from the installed .NET SDK. See the user guide for details.

XenoAtom.MsBuildPipeLogger is a fork of Dave Glick's MsBuildPipeLogger. Special thanks to Dave Glick for creating and sharing the original project.

This fork packages the receiver APIs and bundled netstandard2.0 MSBuild logger as a single XenoAtom package, keeps the logger assembly isolated in the output to avoid MSBuild probing unrelated assemblies, and adds helper APIs and nullable-enabled package metadata for current .NET usage.
