TemporaryGeneratedFile_[guid] in /obj/debug breaking build
I have 3 temporary files being created in obj/debug:
E.g.
- TemporaryGeneratedFile_036C0B5B-1481-4323-8D20-8F5ADCB23D92.cs
- TemporaryGeneratedFile_5937a670-0e60-4077-877b-f7221da3dda1.cs
- TemporaryGeneratedFile_E7A71F73-0F8D-4B9B-B56E-8E70B10BC5D3.cs
(The guids don't seem to change even after a solution clean)
My build is failing because:
SA1633: The file has no header, the header Xml is invalid, or the header is not located at the top of the file.
I don't want to turn the StyleCop rule off. How do I find out what is creating these temporary files?
The site is an asp.net MVC 4 site, with 5 models, 4 controllers, 2 classes, 2 aspx web pages and 1 service reference, which numerically don't seem to tally with the 3 files.
Any pointers?
Edit: If I change framework from 4.5 back to 4 these files go away and the build is successful.
My version of StyleCop is 4.4, I'm more than open to finding a way to get it to ignore obj/debug
I solved this issue by going to the project solution (whose build) was giving this error.
- right click on the project and unload the project.
- Then right click on the project and edit the .csproj file.
- Look for these temp (problematic) generated files. (see example code)
- remove this file references from the .csproj file.
- Right click on project and load back the project.
- Rebuild the solution.
- Its good to go now...
they look like this in the csproj file:
<Compile Include="src\obj\Debug\TemporaryGeneratedFile_036C0B5B-1481-4323-8D20-8F5ADCB23D92.cs" />
<Compile Include="src\obj\Debug\TemporaryGeneratedFile_5937a670-0e60-4077-877b-f7221da3dda1.cs" />
<Compile Include="src\obj\Debug\TemporaryGeneratedFile_E7A71F73-0F8D-4B9B-B56E-8E70B10BC5D3.cs" />
In the parsers block of a StyleCop.Settings file add an entry for these files: The value is a regex, so a tighter one for matching a guid could be used, but these meets my need for now.
