Summary

  • Automatically injects <Content><ProjectTemplate/> and <Content><ItemTemplate/> entries into the vsixmanifest when templates are discovered
  • Eliminates the need for manual manifest edits when using templates
  • Adds custom MSBuild task (InjectVsixManifestContentTask) for proper XML DOM manipulation with namespace handling
  • Writes to intermediate manifest (obj folder) to avoid modifying source files
  • Enabled by default via AutoInjectVsixTemplateContent property (can be disabled with <AutoInjectVsixTemplateContent>false</AutoInjectVsixTemplateContent>)

Test plan

  • Build Tasks project
  • Build SDK package
  • Build E2E.Templates.AutoInject test (manifest without Content section)
  • Verify intermediate manifest contains injected Content entries
  • Verify source manifest unchanged
  • Verify VSIX contains templates
  • Verify existing E2E.Templates.AutoDiscovery still works
  • Verify existing E2E.Templates.Reference still works

Closes #40

Automatically inject <Content><ProjectTemplate/> and <Content><ItemTemplate/>
entries into the vsixmanifest when templates are discovered, eliminating
the need for manual manifest edits.

- Add custom MSBuild task (InjectVsixManifestContentTask) that properly
  parses and modifies the XML manifest
- Write to intermediate manifest (obj folder) to avoid modifying source
- Enable by default via AutoInjectVsixTemplateContent property
- Skip existing WarnMissingManifestContent warnings when auto-injection
  is enabled
- Add E2E test to verify auto-injection works correctly

Closes #40
