Persisting output files from source generators
Some time back, I had my own I/O code that based on some MSBuild property would persist my generated source for troubleshooting. This is no longer needed since you can now set
<EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>true</EmitCompilerGeneratedFiles>
That will emit the sources to the
$(IntermediateOutputPath)/generated/[GeneratorAssembly]/[GeneratorTypeFullName]
folder by default. If you want to also change where the generated sources are placed, you can additionally set the CompilerGeneratedFilesOutputPath
property.
