I created a task to run an assembly weave withMono.Cecil in an after build target. I want this task to run on all projects that reference my project via<ProjectReference>.

From working with CoPilot, it explained thatProjectReferences cannot have transitive tasks, onlyPackageReferences can via .targets file. So I thought, ok, I can just use aBeforeTargets="Restore" task exec command powershell script to clear the nuget cache and build the package, and add aPackageReference to the newly built package with a local<RestoreSources>, and that will be transitive. This seems to work fine when I build my project (usingdotnet build), however, when I build another project that has aProjectReference to my project, the target doesn't run, so my script doesn't execute, and the build fails if the package didn't exist already (or doesn't have up-to-date code if it did exist).

When I ask CoPilot how to solve it, it just goes around in circles. Am I missing something, or is it just not possible? It feels so close...
