Azure-devops-docs: Question about multiple projects

[StefH]

The code example is for building all projects is like:

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  inputs:
    command: 'build'
    projects: '**/*.csproj'

But how to build multiple projects defined by csproj filenames?
Like building ./src/ClassLibrary1/ClassLibrary1.csproj and ./src/ClassLibrary2/ClassLibrary2.csproj.

This command fails:

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  inputs:
    command: 'build'
    projects: './src/ClassLibrary1/ClassLibrary1.csproj;./src/ClassLibrary2/ClassLibrary2.csproj'

@azooinmyluggage for dotnet core tasks

[zuckerthoben]

Use the following syntax (use pipes):

task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
displayName: 'dotnet build'
inputs:
command: build
projects: |
*/proj1.csproj
*/proj2.csproj

@zuckerthoben This does work perfectly.

Can you also add this to the Microsoft documentation ?

[zuckerthoben]

Sure I could, but I am unsure where to exactly put this.

I updated the doc and raised a PR: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/vsts-docs/pull/4528

This looks to have been resolved and will be closing this issue.
@GiriB we are closing this page as it is covered in DotNetCoreCLI Task documentation. Is it ok if I copy your code from your PR to that page?

[GiriB]

@chasewilson Please go ahead :)
