Issue Description
After upgrading Visual Studio from 17.5.4 to 17.6.2, I am now encountering an error in our project's build. We are using MSBuildTasks and have the following target:
<Target Name="SetConfig">
<XmlQuery XmlFileName="$(ProjectDir)\test.xml" XPath="//add">
<Output TaskParameter="Values" ItemName="ConfigSettings" />
</XmlQuery>
</Target>
When building/rebuilding the project, I get an error for this line stating the following:
MSB4028 The "XmlQuery" task's outputs could not be retrieved from the "Values" parameter. Specified cast is not valid.
I have included a zipped project with minimal code to reproduce the issue.
PLEASE NOTE: In the attached sample project, I was not always able to reproduce by using Build in Visual Studio, but using Rebuild did consistently generate this error.
XmlQueryError.zip
Steps to Reproduce
- Unzip XmlQueryError.zip (attached)
- Open the project in Visual Studio (I'm using version 17.6.2)
- Rebuild the project (Please Rebuild rather than Build)
- Note that the build fails.
Expected Behavior
An error should not occur.
Actual Behavior
The build fails. The Output window states: XmlQueryError\XmlQueryError.csproj(24,4): error MSB4028: The "XmlQuery" task's outputs could not be retrieved from the "Values" parameter. Specified cast is not valid.
Analysis
This same issue occurs on at least 3 separate solutions my company has.
I've reproduced it using the following versions of MSBuildTasks: 1.4.0.88, 1.5.0.235.
The error does not occur in VS 17.5.x but does occur in VS 17.6.x
See: https://github.com/loresoft/msbuildtasks/blob/master/Source/MSBuild.Community.Tasks/Xml/XmlQuery.cs#L70
The Values property is any array ITaskItem[].
Versions & Configurations
No response
