Description
When you publish an app through VS (at least in some paths), it writes a FolderProfile.pubxml. I guess it is imported into the build. If you open that to look at it or edit it you will get a warning in VS
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Warning The element 'PropertyGroup' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003' has invalid child element 'PublishDir' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003'. List of possible elements expected: 'Property, VisualStudioVersion, MinimumVisualStudioVersion, ........ etc etc, .... ConsoleApp9 C:\Users\danmose\source\repos\ConsoleApp9\ConsoleApp9\Properties\PublishProfiles\FolderProfile.pubxml 9
Here is an example of a FolderProfile.pubxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--
https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=208121.
-->
<Project ToolsVersion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<PropertyGroup>
<Configuration>Release</Configuration>
<Platform>Any CPU</Platform>
<PublishDir>bin\Release\netcoreapp3.1\publish\</PublishDir>
<PublishProtocol>FileSystem</PublishProtocol>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>
I am not sure whether there are other properties it might include, but we should add PublishDir and PublishProtocol to Microsoft.Build.CommonTypes.xsd so they don't cause this disconcerting warning which will discourage anyone looking at the file.
