CodeAnalysisTreatWarningAsErrors not working with MSBuild

Hi

I'm using a combination of Microsoft Code Analysis and MSBuild for my build, the gist is that I want my .proj file to break on compilatin

using MSBuild.exe; when Code Analysis starts to throw errors.

I don't want to set the attributes TreatErrorAsWarnings on the individual projects in Visual Studio. I've created a MSBuild script to

build my solution containing a few .csproj files. To achieve my goal I thought it would be as easy as setting the property <CodeAnalysisTreatWarningsAsErrors> to true. However this is not the case. Please can anyone help me?

My MSBuild script below:

<Project Toolversion="3.5" DefaultTargets="Test" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"   >
    <Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\MSBuildCommunityTasks\MSBuild.Community.Tasks.Targets"/>

    <PropertyGroup>
        <SolutionFileName>Test.sln</SolutionFileName>
        <BuildDirectory>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)</BuildDirectory>
		<RunCodeAnalysis>Always</RunCodeAnalysis> 
		<CodeAnalysis>
			<TreatWarningsAsErrors>$(CodeAnalysisTreatWarningsAsErrors)</TreatWarningsAsErrors>
		</CodeAnalysis>
		<CodeAnalysisTreatWarningsAsErrors>true</CodeAnalysisTreatWarningsAsErrors>
    </PropertyGroup>

    <Target Name="Clean">
    </Target>

    <Target Name="Build">
        <MSBuild Projects="$(SolutionFileName)" Targets="Clean;Build" ContinueOnError ="false" >
            <Output TaskParameter="TargetOutputs" ItemName="Assemblies" />
        </MSBuild>
    </Target>

    <Target Name="InstallDatabase" DependsOnTargets="Build">
        <Exec Command ="$(BuildDirectory)\Database\installdatabase.cmd" WorkingDirectory="$(BuildDirectory)\Database"  ContinueOnError ="false"/>
    </Target>
	
	<Target Name="Test" DependsOnTargets="InstallDatabase" >
        <Exec Command='"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\MSTest.exe" /testmetadata:"$(BuildDirectory)\Test.vsmdi"' ContinueOnError ="true" />
		<ConvertToAbsolutePath Paths="$(Source_Dir)\TestResults\TestResults.trx">
            <Output TaskParameter="AbsolutePaths" PropertyName="Source_Dir_Abs"/>
        </ConvertToAbsolutePath>		
		<Message Text="##teamcity[importData type='mstest' path='$(Source_Dir_Abs)']"/>
    </Target>
</Project>

The MSBuild task spawns a new process and you don't have access to the current properties. You need to pass in the properties you need. In your case you can define exactly which rules to treat as errors, e.g.

<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" DefaultTargets="Default">

Alternatively you can create another Configuration in the IDE and set it in the properties.
