Don't use the new parser from
Microsoft.VisualStudio.SolutionPersistence
to parse.sln
files.Fixes #11463
Work item (Internal use): AB#2397817
Summary
Revert #10836 to return to the longstanding MSBuild private
.sln
parser (but keep using the SolutionPersistence library for.slnx
).Customer Impact
Three categories of problem:
NuGet.exe
restores failed because they couldn't find the library (fixed in newer versions but reported via VS Feedback and Update to msbuild 17.13 breaks builds microsoft/dotnet-framework-docker#1213.NuGet.exe
restores can fail if the path to 64-bit MSBuild is specified explicitlyAll manifest as build or NuGet restore breaks with no obvious workaround (but once discovered the changewave opt-out environment variable works).
Regression?
Yes, in 17.13/9.0.200 due to adopting the common SolutionPersistence library instead of our homegrown sln parser.
Testing
Unit tests + manual scenario tests.
Risk
Low, clean revert to earlier behavior for
.sln
.
