dotnet new strips our conditional compile code

See original GitHub issue

I have an AppDelegate.cs file in my project with the following code. It is being stripped out when dotnet new is executed. I have verified the code is present in my packed NuGet.

#if DEBUG
Comet.Reload.Init();
#if

Is there a way to escape this and protect it?

Where is this documented? I looked for similar with no luck.

//-:cnd:noEmit

Yes @davidortinau you’ll need to escape it in your AppDelegate like the following:

//-:cnd:noEmit
            // Code for starting up the Xamarin Test Cloud Agent
#if DEBUG
            Xamarin.Calabash.Start();
#endif
//+:cnd:noEmit

Keep in mind that all of your conditional properties and groups in the csproj will also be stripped out if you do not escape them.
