Get a list of all known properties and items in given context

Open magol opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I want to have a new window that show all known properties and items for selected node in the log. In the window, I also want to make it possible to make a properties/items as favorite, so that it is always on the top. I want to be able to select a property/item and find the location in the log where it get its current value.

Have you checked the Properties and items tab in the bottom left?

Finding where a property is initially assigned is tricky because MSBuild doesn't log this information.

For items, you can search for $additem Compile to see where items get added.
