MSBUILD 17.13.9.7704 MSB4025 #96
Description
Issue Description
We started seeing this error when some of our devs upgraded to 17.13.9.7704 from 17.11.2.32701.
foo.sln(1,1): error MSB4025: The project file could not be loaded. Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.
Turns out this section of the sln file is invalid according to msbuild 17.13.9.x:
GlobalSection(DevPartner Solution Properties) = postSolution
EndGlobalSection
After removing this section from the sln file the error went away. Seems to be something related to MicroFocus.
Steps to Reproduce
Upgrade msbuild from 17.11.2.32701. to 7.13.9.7704 against a solution that looks like:
Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
# Visual Studio 2010
Project("{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}") = "foo", "bar.csproj", "{DB35CD3D-452D-40D2-B5A4-96F009AC4C98}"
EndProject
Global
GlobalSection(SolutionConfigurationPlatforms) = preSolution
Debug|Any CPU = Debug|Any CPU
Release|Any CPU = Release|Any CPU
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(ProjectConfigurationPlatforms) = postSolution
{DB35CD3D-452D-40D2-B5A4-96F009AC4C98}.Debug|Any CPU.ActiveCfg = Debug|Any CPU
{DB35CD3D-452D-40D2-B5A4-96F009AC4C98}.Debug|Any CPU.Build.0 = Debug|Any CPU
{DB35CD3D-452D-40D2-B5A4-96F009AC4C98}.Release|Any CPU.ActiveCfg = Release|Any CPU
{DB35CD3D-452D-40D2-B5A4-96F009AC4C98}.Release|Any CPU.Build.0 = Release|Any CPU
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(SolutionProperties) = preSolution
HideSolutionNode = FALSE
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(DevPartner) = postSolution
EndGlobalSection
GlobalSection(DevPartner) = postSolution
EndGlobalSection
EndGlobal
Expected Behavior
Perhaps a better error if DevPartner Solution Properties is no longer valid.
Actual Behavior
Fails to run solution and reports Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.
