I have a t4 template that is outputting to a specified file name. t4 however when run is creating a xx.cs file for each tt file that I have. Within this file is the text “ErrorGeneratingOutput”
Is there a way to prevent this file from being created?
I’m afraid not, no.
When using one of the mechanisms to create specific files, there will always be a dummy stub file.
Typically I set it to be a text file with
<#@ output extension=”.stub.txt” #>
and put some explanatory text in it to the effect that it’s a placeholder by putting that text as the body of the template. I then set its build action to ‘None’ permanently.
I’m not sure what’s causing the error, but that’s where any error in the rest of your template would get reported typically.
