Fixes #6373

Summary

Solution metaprojects should have a target for each project they contain, so that you can build a single project or set of projects in the context of the solution. A regression in 16.10 means that instead, specifying a project name as a target when building a solution attempts to build a target with that name for every project in the solution.

Customer impact

Customers cannot build a subset of a solution by specifying a project between #6282 and this PR.

Regression?

Yes, from 16.9. This bug was introduced in #6282. The critical line is line 786 of SolutionProjectGenerator, though all similar instances were reverted in this case. Note that as #6282 is an agglomeration of functionally unrelated changes, no other files in #6282 relied on the changes in SolutionProjectGenerator.

Changes Made

Reverted the part of #6282 using Except incorrectly, i.e., the part in SolutionProjectGenerator, and added a test.

Testing

Created a unit test that fails before the other changes in this PR and succeeds afterwards. The unit test mimics but simplifies the customer's repro.

Risk

Low. Revert to prior implementation.

Should we extract method that returns the enumerable? And use it in four places? And add a detailed comment explaining that it has to be lazy because evidently the traversalInstance.Targets contents changes during enumeration? It's a tricky spot.

also need to pay attention to how Keys behaves - is it returning the live collection or a snapshot of the keys?

Extract method might be dicey - maybe better keep as is for simplicity... just add comments? You decide

I want this to be as small of a change and as safe of a change as possible, since this is going into 16.10 rather than 17.0. This is a straight revert of the relevant part of the commit that caused the issue, which is safest in my opinion. Adding a comment is a good plan, though—I'll just add it for the first case, since that's the only one that I know should be just in time.

Agreed on keeping this to a revert. Can extract as follow up in a future milestone if that's better.

Yes, let’s not extract, it was just a knee jerk reaction of seeing the changes in four places. All good!

Exclude takes a snapshot of what we're excluding. We change the Enumerable mid-enumeration, which makes that invalid.

it seems that using the "rebuild" switch is working as a workaround

msbuild solution.sln -t project:rebuild

Will this be released in 16.10.1? We have tests and things that are hitting this bug.
Thanks!

We've hit this issue with Pipeline builds in Azure DevOps as you've updated your build agents. When will the fix be deployed to Azure?
