Debugging the XAML compiler

You can debug the XAML compiler by running Avalonia.Build.Tasks and passing parameters. For example, to run the XAML compiler on Sandbox the launchsettings.json file would look like:

{
  "profiles": {
    "Avalonia.Build.Tasks": {
      "commandName": "Executable",
      "executablePath": "$(SolutionDir)\\src\\Avalonia.Build.Tasks\\bin\\Debug\\netcoreapp3.1\\Avalonia.Build.Tasks.exe",
      "commandLineArgs": "$(SolutionDir)\\samples\\Sandbox\\bin\\Debug\\netcoreapp3.1\\Sandbox.dll .$(SolutionDir)samples\\Sandbox\\bin\\Debug\\netcoreapp3.1\\Sandbox.dll.refs $(SolutionDir)\\out.dll"
    }
  }
}
