MSBuild ターゲット

ターゲットはタスクを特定の順序でグループ化し、ビルド プロセスを小さな単位に分割することを可能にします。 たとえば、あるターゲットは、ビルドの準備として、出力ディレクトリに含まれるすべてのファイルを削除し、別のターゲットは、プロジェクトに対する入力をコンパイルし、空のディレクトリに配置します。 タスクについて詳しくは、「MSBuild タスク」をご覧ください。

プロジェクト ファイルでターゲットを宣言する

ターゲットは、プロジェクト ファイル内で、Target 要素を使用して宣言します。 たとえば、次の XML は Construct という名前のターゲットを作成し、Compile というアイテムの種類で Csc タスクを呼び出します。

<Target Name="Construct">
    <Csc Sources="@(Compile)" />
</Target>

MSBuild プロパティと同様に、ターゲットは再定義できます。 たとえば、オブジェクトに適用された

<Target Name="MyTarget">
    <Message Text="First occurrence" />
</Target>
<Target Name="MyTarget">
    <Message Text="Second occurrence" />
</Target>

MyTarget を実行すると、"Second occurrence" (2 番目の出現) のみが表示されます。これは MyTarget の 2 番目の定義によって最初の出現が隠されるためです。

MSBuild はインポートの順序に依存するので、最後のターゲットの定義が使用されます。 ターゲットを再定義しても、組み込みターゲットが後で定義されるなら効果がありません。

ターゲットのビルド順序

あるターゲットへの入力が別のターゲットの出力に依存する場合、ターゲットの順序を指定する必要があります。

ターゲットの実行順序はいくつかの方法で指定できます。

  • 初期ターゲット

  • 既定のターゲット

  • 最初のターゲット

  • ターゲットの依存関係

  • BeforeTargets および AfterTargets

1 つのビルドでターゲットが 2 回実行されることはありません。そのビルド内の後続のターゲットが先行するターゲットに依存している場合でも同じです。 ターゲットは一度実行されると、それ以上ビルドに影響しません。

ターゲットのビルド順序に関する詳細については、「ターゲットのビルド順序」を参照してください。

SDK スタイルのプロジェクト

新しいプロジェクトの多くは SDK を使用します。つまり、ルート Project 要素で Sdk 属性が使用されます。たとえば、<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk"> です。 「プロジェクト SDK を参照する」を参照してください。 その場合、一部のターゲットの定義の順序は必ずしも明白ではありません。プロジェクト ファイルの終了後にターゲットのインポートが暗黙的に追加されるためです。 以前のバージョンの MSBuild や、Sdk 属性を使用しないプロジェクトでは、ターゲット AfterBuild または BeforeBuild をオーバーライドすることで Build などのターゲットの動作を拡張することが一般的な慣習でした。 ただし、SDK を使用するプロジェクトでは機能しません。プロジェクト ファイル内の他のすべてのコードの後に暗黙的なインポートで AfterBuild が定義されるためです。 したがって、既存のターゲットの動作を拡張するには、次のように新しいターゲットを作成し、BeforeTargets を指定します (あるいは、適切であれば AfterTargets を指定します)。

<Target Name="MessageBeforePublish" BeforeTargets="BeforePublish">
  <Message Text="BeforePublish" Importance="high" />
</Target>

コードで関数に名前を付けるように、ターゲットにわかりやすい名前を付けます。

AfterBuild を使用する古いビルド スクリプトを使用するときなど、Sdk 属性の使用を回避し、代わりに明示的なインポートに変更できることがあります。 明示的なインポートを使用するために SDK スタイルのプロジェクトを変換するには、Sdk="{SdkName}" 属性を削除し、2 つのインポートを追加します。プロジェクト ファイルの先頭近くに <import Project="{SdkName}.props"> を追加し、終わり近くに <import Project="{Sdkname}.targets"> を追加します。 その変更を行うと、{Sdkname}.targets ファイルをインポートするインポート要素の後に AfterBuild を再定義できます。

ターゲットのバッチ処理

あるターゲット要素に、%(<Metadata>) 形式でメタデータを指定する Outputs 属性が含まれている場合があります。 その場合、MSBuild は一意のメタデータ値ごとにターゲットを 1 回実行し、そのメタデータ値を含むアイテムをグループ化または "バッチ処理" します。 たとえば、オブジェクトに適用された

<ItemGroup>
    <Reference Include="System.Core">
      <RequiredTargetFramework>3.5</RequiredTargetFramework>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="System.Xml.Linq">
      <RequiredTargetFramework>3.5</RequiredTargetFramework>
    </Reference>
    <Reference Include="Microsoft.CSharp">
      <RequiredTargetFramework>4.0</RequiredTargetFramework>
    </Reference>
</ItemGroup>
<Target Name="AfterBuild"
    Outputs="%(Reference.RequiredTargetFramework)">
    <Message Text="Reference:
      @(Reference->'%(RequiredTargetFramework)')" />
</Target>

RequiredTargetFramework メタデータによって参照項目をバッチ処理します。 このターゲットの出力は次のようになります。

Reference: 3.5;3.5
Reference: 4.0

ターゲット バッチ処理が実際のビルドで利用されることはほとんどありません。 タスクのバッチが一般的です。 詳細については、「MSBuild バッチ」をご覧ください。

インクリメンタル ビルド

インクリメンタル ビルドは、対応する入力ファイルに対して最新の状態の出力ファイルを含むターゲットが実行されないように最適化されたビルドです。 ターゲット要素には、Inputs 属性と Outputs 属性の両方を含めることができます。ターゲットが入力として受け取る項目と出力として生成する項目をそれぞれ示します。

すべての出力項目が最新の状態になっている場合、MSBuild はターゲットをスキップします。これがビルドのスピードを大幅に上げます。 これはターゲットのインクリメンタル ビルドと呼ばれています。 一部のファイルだけが最新の状態になっている場合、MSBuild は最新の項目なしでターゲットを実行します。 これはターゲットの部分的インクリメンタル ビルドと呼ばれています。 詳細については、「インクリメンタル ビルド」を参照してください。

SDK と既定のビルド ターゲット

一部のビルド ターゲットは、参照している SDK (存在する場合) によって異なります。 プロジェクト ファイルで使用できるすべてのターゲットを取得するには、-targets または -ts コマンド ライン オプションを使用します。 詳細については、「MSBuild コマンド ライン リファレンス」をご覧ください。 ビルド システムには、ビルドによる内部使用を目的としたターゲットが多数含まれています。これらには、通常、ターゲット名の先頭にアンダースコア (_) が付けられています。 パブリック ターゲットの一覧のみを取得するには、アンダースコアを除外するものに出力をパイプ処理してみてください。 たとえば、Bash では、dotnet build を使用する場合、次の操作を行うことができます。

dotnet build -ts | grep -v '_'

PowerShell では、次のようにフィルター処理できます。

 dotnet build -ts | select-string -pattern '_' -NotMatch

.NET を使用していない場合は、dotnet build -ts の代わりに MSBuild.exe -ts を使用し、その後、同じパイプ操作およびフィルター処理操作を行います。

.NET SDK ターゲットの一覧については、「Microsoft.NET.Publish.targets」を参照してください。 このファイルは、.NET SDK のインストール フォルダーにあります。 他の SDK にも、それぞれの参照できるインストール フォルダー内に同様の .targets ファイルがあります。

一部のターゲットは、.NET ビルド システムに属する既定のターゲットであるため、SDK を指定してもしなくても参照されます。 C++ プロジェクトには、独自の既定のターゲットのセットが含まれています。 「C++ プロジェクトの MSBuild の内部」を参照してください。

次の一覧には、Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.Targets からの、.NET ビルド システムの既定のパブリック ターゲットが示されています。

===================================================
GetCopyToOutputDirectoryItems
Get all project items that may need to be transferred to the output directory.
This includes baggage items from transitively referenced projects. It would appear
that this target computes full transitive closure of content items for all referenced
projects; however that is not the case. It only collects the content items from its
immediate children and not children of children. The reason this happens is that
the ProjectReferenceWithConfiguration list that is consumed by _SplitProjectReferencesByFileExistence
is only populated in the current project and is empty in the children. The empty list
causes _MSBuildProjectReferenceExistent to be empty and terminates the recursion.

===================================================
IncrementalClean
Remove files that were produced in a prior build but weren't produced in the current build.
The reason is that if, for example, the name of the .exe has changed we want to delete the
old copy.

Leave the Clean cache file containing only the files produced in the current build.

===================================================
PostBuildEvent
Run the post-build event. This step is driven by two parameters:

(1) The $(RunPostBuildEvent) property is set by the user through the IDE and can be one of four values.

        - OnBuildSuccess: In this case, every step of the build must succeed for the post-build step to run.
        - <Blank>: This is the same as OnBuildSuccess.
        - OnOutputUpdated: In this case, the post-build step will run only if the main output assembly was
        actually updated.
        - Always: The post-build step is always run.

(2) The $(_AssemblyTimestampBeforeCompile) and $(_AssemblyTimestampAfterCompile) values are
        set by the _TimeStampBeforeCompile and _TimeStampAfterCompile targets.  If the assembly was actually
        rebuilt during this build, then the two values will be different.
===================================================
<Target Name="PostBuildEvent"
        Condition="'$(PostBuildEvent)' != '' and ('$(RunPostBuildEvent)' != 'OnOutputUpdated' or '$(_AssemblyTimestampBeforeCompile)' != '$(_AssemblyTimestampAfterCompile)')"

Publish
This target is only called when doing ClickOnce publishing outside the IDE, which implicitly builds before publishing.
===================================================
<Target Name="Publish"

SetGenerateManifests
This target simply assures the GenerateClickOnceManifests property is set whenever the publish target is invoked.

PublishOnly
The "PublishOnly" target is intended for ClickOnce publishing inside the IDE, where the build has already been done
by the BuildManager.

===================================================
AllProjectOutputGroups
The targets below drive output groups, which provide generic information about a
project's inputs (e.g., content files, compilation sources, etc.) and built outputs
(e.g., built EXE/DLL, PDB, XML documentation files, etc.)

Each target may produce two kinds of items:  outputs and dependencies.  Outputs are
items from the current project; dependencies are items that are brought into the
current project as a result of referencing other projects or components.

For both outputs and dependencies, the Include attribute
specifies the location of the output/dependency; it must be a full path.  Any number
of additional attributes may be placed on an output/dependency item.
