Project rider - see msbuild output when building

Question

I want to see the msbuild log when I try to build the solution.

It was originally a Visual studio 2015 solution.

The output build window of Rider (View --> Tool Windows --> Build) is showing:

Microsoft (R) Build Engine version 14.0.25420.1 Copyright (C)
Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Build started 10/2/2016
10:28:29 AM. Build succeeded

And the VS2015 Build windows shows:

1>------ Build started: Project: P1, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
2>------ Build started: Project: P2, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
3>------ Build started: Project: P3, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
.
.
.
1> P1 -> D:\dev\TQS\src\P1\bin\P1.dll
2> P2 -> D:\dev\TQS\src\P2\bin\Debug\P2.dll
3> P3 -> D:\dev\TQS\src\P3\bin\Debug\P3.dll
========== Build: 3 succeeded, 0 failed, 3 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Does anyone know why the differences?

Answer 1

Rider just introduced the option to log build output and set up the log verbosity. You can check out here: How to diagnose build problems

Open settings, enable 'Write log to file' option, and set verbosity to 'Diagnostic'

'Rebuild Solution with Diagnostic', the log file will open automatically

Answer 2

Feature "ReSharper Build"(blog , docs) is enabled by default in Rider and disabled in ReSharper. In settings ("ReSharper->Options->Tools->ReSharper Build" for ReSharper and "Build, Execution, Deployment->Toolset and Build" for Rider) your can configure it

Answer 3

It is very likely that you need to wait till a newer EAP. The current build of Rider does not give you options to change MSBuild/xbuild verbosity. Also its Build window output style differs. You can also raise a bug report to JetBrains if you do want it to follow VS style.
