Error detecting msbuild version on Linux

[otto-gebb]

Description

On Linux, FAKE outputs an error when it tries to detect the version of msbuild:

/home/gebb/_c/PrismaCloud/svc_OtaUpdater> "/usr/bin/dotnet" msbuild /version /nologo (In: false, Out: true, Err: true)
/version(1,1): error MSB4025: The project file could not be loaded. Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.
Could not detect msbuild version from '/usr/bin/dotnet msbuild': System.Exception: msbuild failed with exitcode '1'

msbuild version '13.0.0.0' doesn't support binary logger, please set the msbuild argument 'DisableInternalBinLog' to 'true' to disable this warning.

I tried issuing the same command as FAKE does, and got this result:

As we see, the command would have succeeded if FAKE were using double dashes instead of slashes.

The relevant code, I believe, is here.

  let internal getVersion =
      let cache = System.Collections.Concurrent.ConcurrentDictionary<string, Version>()
      fun (exePath:string) (callMsbuildExe: string -> string) ->
          let getFromCall() =
            try
                let result = callMsbuildExe "/version /nologo"
  // ...

Repro steps

1. Create a build script on Linux, containing a call to DotNet.build.
2. Run the script.

Expected behavior

No error.

Actual behavior

An error is shown.

• Indications of severity
  Low, the error doesn't seem to prevent the build from succeeding.
• Version of FAKE (4.X, 5.X)
