Files generated during precompile do not get added to compilation

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

Consider a project.json with a scripts node like so

"scripts": {
    "precompile": "cmd /c echo namespace Test { public class Foo {} } > Test.cs"
  }

Referencing Test.Foo does not work in the first compile when the file is not on disk. Having an empty Test.cs which gets populated during precompile works. It looks like the build is calculating the set of files to compile earlier than precompile. Perhaps it needs to do it after?

This looks like a duplicate of https://github.com/dotnet/cli/issues/1475 to me. That issue mentions a possible workaround: have dummy files that get overwritten by the precompile scripts. This is working for me.

I doubt that this will get fixed, with the planned move to MSBuild-based builds.

(Though I work for Microsoft, I’m not associated with this project.)
