New generated GeneratedMSBuildEditorConfig file since recent upgrade

The right pull request is this one -- it's built as a way for some MSBuild logic to pass values to certain Roslyn analyzers. This is internal implementation detail and shouldn't be checked in to source control.

I'm surprised you noticed this file though -- it should be generated into your obj\ directory, which you should already have excluded from source control and never really noticed in the first place. Did it get generated somewhere else?


Update: This is fixed in Visual Studio 16.9 and higher.

There is a bug when using legacy/non SDK-style projects, which causes these files to be output to the wrong location. We have a fix out for this here: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/pull/48781

In the interim as a workaround you can set the generated file output path explicitly by adding the following to your project file

<PropertyGroup>
    <GeneratedMSBuildEditorConfigFile>$(IntermediateOutputPath)\$(MSBuildProjectName).GeneratedMSBuildEditorConfig.editorconfig</GeneratedMSBuildEditorConfigFile>
</PropertyGroup>
