Windows 10: Win10 1809 redirect Visual Studio 2017 build output to txt file in queue, the file is being...

Hi,


I have many solutions of VS 2017 15.8 to be built, I use batch command to build them in queue and redirect the build output to a '.txt' file. When the first solution build finished and the output is redirected to the .txt file, but the second solution failed to redirect output to the file again with error: "The process is being used by other process." I use 'devenv.exe' to do build and I checked the task list in OS, when the error occurred, the process of 'devenv.exe' has already been closed.


So I am not sure what is using the log file. It seems that redirect the output to log action has not finished when trying to redirect the next solution. I tried to add a timeout for 1 second before the second solution start and it works.


My Environment:

Works well:

VS 2017 Enterprise 15.5 with Win 7 SP1

Not Works:

VS 2017 Enterprise 15.8 with Win 10 1809


Could any one help?

:)

 

Visual Studio 2015 keeps getting standard file association for txt files

Visual Studio will attempt to repair any broken file associations (those not associated with a valid application) at startup.
I suggest the following two manipulations.

• Check if txt is included in VS
  Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> File Extension,
  and Remove in that case.
  
• Go to
  Default Programs -> Associate a file type or protocol with a program -> Choose default apps by file type,
  scroll down to .txt and click, then choose your text editor if it is not already set correctly.
  

If these two measures are not enough, then your Visual Studio setup has a problem.

 

Visual Studio 2017 C# File Handling

Compiling a C# program using StreamReader and StreamWriter variables on the command line works fine. On Visual Studio 2017 C# when I try to close() a file, I get an error on the file.close() code. The intelliscense for the StreamReader or StreamWriter
has no listing for CLOSE. The closest I can get is disposing the file.

 

Generating a .txt based file list in Windows 7

Could he not use a wildacard ?. So it be dir %1 /a /s /b > *.txt and then it would list all .TXT files then.
