Question

If we get the project pattern wrong when using the DotNetCoreCLI@2 task, the task just throws a warning message.

##[warning]Project file(s) matching the specified pattern were not found.

• Is there a way to fail the task if no projects are found?
• Or fail if no tests are found, as suggested in this StackOverflow post?
  The suggested BuildQualityChecks task checking for warning messages is not a good idea as other steps throwing warnings will cause it to fail, thereby adding more to maintenance work.
• If no, is there a general pattern we should adopt to avoid misconfigured false positive feedback from pipelines?
