Incorrect OutputKind in AdhocWorkspace about buildalyzer HOT 5 CLOSED

Good catch. Looks like the MSBuild property OutputType is what you want. It has possible values of "Library", "Exe", "Module", or "Winexe". Those look like they map pretty well to the OutputKind enum in Roslyn.

You can get the MSBuild property from the MSBuild ProjectInstance instance (ProjectAnalyzer.CompiledProject or the return value of Compile()) like this:

string outputType = analyzer.CompiledProject?.GetPropertyValue("OutputType");

Be sure to check for null on the ProjectAnalyzer.CompiledProject property since it won't be set if compilation failed.

Didn't see GetPropertyValue, that's far more elegant than my solution:

projectInstance.Properties.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == "OutputType");

😁

So you have to compile the project before you can figure out its output type? Can it not be inferred from the .csproj file?

Hmm... Might be available on the Project instance after Load().

Yup, there it is! Much better, thanks. Currently putting together a PR now.

There we go, #8 adds CompilationOptions and is ready for review.
