How get exec task output with msbuild

by

Good news everyone! You can now capture output from <Exec> as of .NET 4.5.

Like this:

<Exec ... ConsoleToMSBuild="true">
  <Output TaskParameter="ConsoleOutput" PropertyName="OutputOfExec" />
</Exec>

Simply:

  • Add ConsoleToMsBuild="true" to your <Exec> tag
  • Capture the output using the ConsoleOutput parameter in an <Output> tag

Finally!
