T4.BuildTools OutputDirectory/OutputFileName

[gerneio]

Referring to the BuildTools Readme, supposedly there's a way to specify the OutputDirectory and/or the OutputFileName, However I haven't been able to figure out a way to do this. I've tried the following:

  <PropertyGroup>
    ...
    <TransformOnBuild>true</TransformOnBuild>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    ...
    <PackageReference Include="T4.BuildTools" Version="3.0.0-preview-0049-g4f33c8d8b1" />
  </ItemGroup>
    ...
  <ItemGroup>
    <T4Transform Include="foo.tt">
      <OutputDirectory>test</OutputDirectory>
    </T4Transform>
  </ItemGroup>

  <PropertyGroup>
    ...
    <TransformOnBuild>true</TransformOnBuild>
    <OutputDirectory>test</OutputDirectory>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    ...
    <PackageReference Include="T4.BuildTools" Version="3.0.0-preview-0049-g4f33c8d8b1" />
  </ItemGroup>
    ...
  <ItemGroup>
    <T4Transform Include="foo.tt" />
  </ItemGroup>

Are these two options supported yet?

Ultimately, I just want to copy these text file templates to the build output, however this didn't work either:

  <PropertyGroup>
    ...
    <TransformOnBuild>true</TransformOnBuild>
  </PropertyGroup>
  <ItemGroup>
    ...
    <PackageReference Include="T4.BuildTools" Version="3.0.0-preview-0049-g4f33c8d8b1" />
  </ItemGroup>
    ...
  <ItemGroup>
    <T4Transform Include="foo.tt" />
    <Content Include="foo.txt" CopyToOutputDirectory="true" />
  </ItemGroup>

I can confirm that the foo.txt file is being generated, just next to the template file, which I'd assume is the default.

Having the same issue, really frustrating thing to not have working

We came-up with a clunky workaround: #129
