Replacement for Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.MSBuild.MSBuildWorkspace?

[MarkMichaelis]

In migrating from VS2015 to VS2017, is Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.MSBuild.MSBuildWorkspace the intended replacement for Microsoft.DotNet.ProjectModel.Workspaces.ProjectJsonWorkspace? Or is there some other implementation of Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.Workspace that we should be using?

Yes MSBuildWorkspace should work for these projects. Now I know @mattwar was looking into MSBuildWorkspace being broken due to MSBuild moving elsewhere. Matt, does MSBuildWorkspace work with MSBuild 15 (which is needed for it to understand .NET core projects).

[mattwar]

Msbuild should work in RC3. Though you'll need to upgrade the app's redirects to include the newest msbuild's redirects found in msbuild.exe.config.

Does MSBuildWorkspace support the .NET Standard? IE, can it be used for loading .NET Core projects on Mac and Linux?

[mattwar]

MSBuildWorkspace only supports desktop clr currently.

Ok, thank you for the prompt reply!

[josephwoodward]

@mattwar Do you have any suggestions as where to look or what to do for anyone that wants to load the new MsBuild .csproj proj format on Mac and Linux?

This issue was moved to dotnet/roslyn#17974

Move this over to Roslyn, as they own MSBuildWorkspace.
