How can I make this launch for all my files automatically? YUI Compressor for Visual Studios

Edit 4 (edit from 1 to 3 as they were solved)

My last problem is that I need multiple targets, but it doesn't work. I have to keep them all for the same target, which sucks as it would be fine for different names, so I needed to change something that I can just look at the target name.

Hello

I am trying to get MsBuild and it works ... if all my stuff is in the same target tag. If I have multiple tags, then only the first and that one. None of the other goals have been met.

<Target Name="Test1">
    <ItemGroup>
      <JavaScriptFiles Remove="@(JavaScriptFiles)" />
  <JavaScriptFiles Include="..\PathHere\Javascript.js"/>

</ItemGroup>
<CompressorTask
      JavaScriptFiles="%(JavaScriptFiles.Identity)"
      ObfuscateJavaScript="True"
      PreserveAllSemicolons="False"
      DisableOptimizations="Nope"
      EncodingType="Default"
      DeleteJavaScriptFiles="false"
      LineBreakPosition="-1"
      JavaScriptOutputFile="../Path/Here/(JavaScriptFiles.FileName).min.js"
      LoggingType="ALittleBit"
      ThreadCulture="en-au"
      IsEvalIgnored="false"
        />

<ItemGroup>    
  <JavaScriptFiles Remove="@(JavaScriptFiles)" />
   <JavaScriptFiles Include="..\PathHere\Javascript2.js"/>

</ItemGroup>
<CompressorTask
      JavaScriptFiles="%(JavaScriptFiles.Identity)"
      ObfuscateJavaScript="True"
      PreserveAllSemicolons="False"
      DisableOptimizations="Nope"
      EncodingType="Default"
      DeleteJavaScriptFiles="false"
      LineBreakPosition="-1"
      JavaScriptOutputFile="../Path/Here/%(JavaScriptFiles.FileName).min.js"
      LoggingType="ALittleBit"
      ThreadCulture="en-au"
      IsEvalIgnored="false"
        />


  </Target>

So the above works. If i do this

    <Target Name="Test2">

        <ItemGroup>    
          <JavaScriptFiles Remove="@(JavaScriptFiles)" />
           JavaScriptFiles Include="..\PathHere\Javascript3.js"/>
    </ItemGroup>
    <CompressorTask
          JavaScriptFiles="%(JavaScriptFiles.Identity)"
          ObfuscateJavaScript="True"
          PreserveAllSemicolons="False"
          DisableOptimizations="Nope"
          EncodingType="Default"
          DeleteJavaScriptFiles="false"
          LineBreakPosition="-1"
          JavaScriptOutputFile="../Path/Here/%(JavaScriptFiles.FileName).min.js"
          LoggingType="ALittleBit"
          ThreadCulture="en-au"
          IsEvalIgnored="false"
            />

</Target>

Then the first target will go and the above will do nothing.

I'm not sure, but it looks like there is some confusion about how the MSBuild variable is accessed. There are three ways to access variables with msbuild.

$()  Extracts the value of a property
@()  Extracts the value of an item as a list, that is, vector
%()  Extracts value of an item as a single string, that is, scalar


It sounds like you really want to use @()

where you are using %()

, but I confess I am having a hard time figuring out what your problem is. You said that he "won't do anything," but most likely he is doing something, even if he is not doing anything.

This looks like a good place to start:

You should do this by modifying the msbuild script file in your project's .proj file.

Here is a link to MsBuild -
