Respect BuildWithNetFrameworkHostedCompiler on netxf#48557
Merged
Conversation
This changes the build to only respect BuildWithNetFrameworkHostedCompiler on full framework msbuild. Without this guard customers can accidentally force the use of Microsoft.Net.Sdk.Compilers.Toolset on a core msbuild. That leads to runtime errors as the build tasks inside are .NET Framework specific. These errors tend to be silent as they are in the server connection code which will fall back to csc.exe invocation on error

The `BuildWithNetFrameworkHostedCompiler` property forces a .NET Framework specific compiler package to be used. This property was being unconditionally set which meant it loaded inside of `dotnet build`. In that environment the build task is invalid / unsupported. In this particular case the task ended up throwing errors trying to connect to the compiler server. That is an expected failure path in the build task and it will fallback silently to csc.exe. That meant this went unnoticed as builds remained functional, just significantly slower. Related: dotnet/sdk#48557
