This plugin allows you to use MSBuild to build .NET and Visual Studio projects.
To use this plugin, specify the location directory of MSBuild.exe on
Jenkin's configuration page. The MSBuild executable is usually
situated in a subfolder of C:\\WINDOWS\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework
. The
Visual Studio 2017 Community version of "msbuild.exe" is located in
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2017\\Community\\MSBuild\\15.0\\Bin\\"
If you have multiple
MSBuild versions installed, you can configure multiple executables.
Then, on your project configuration page, specify the name of the build
file (.proj
or .sln
) and any command line
arguments
you want to pass in. The files are compiled to the directory where
Visual Studio would put them as well.
- When using Command Line Arguments, bear in mind that special characters are treated like in Unix, so they will need to be escaped using the backslash.
