Show design time build logs

Is there a way to see the logs of the design time builds in Rider?

I recently discovered you can do this in Visual Studio with this plugin: Project System Tools, which I've found here: https://github.com/dotnet/project-system/blob/main/docs/design-time-builds.md#determining-whether-a-target-is-running-in-a-design-time-build

Norbert Virth,

Yes, you can see the logs if you run Rider in internal mode and trigger `Reload project and show logs` action.

Thanks, more than nothing, but

With Project System Tools, I can monitor the design time builds runtime, which I only needed when smg went wrong with them and the IDE started new Design Time Builds infinitely - I can't monitor this the proposed way
The binlog it generates seems to be uncompatible with msbuildlog:

Do I need another tool to open it?

Edit Sorry I'm reading the error message on the pic in more details. "Latest supported version is 9, the log file has version 13". Hm. I'm using a fresh install of msbuild log viewer, just downloaded it from https://msbuildlog.com/ the last week, it has the latest version:

Thanks!

Hi Norbert Virth!

As to the binlog issue, could you please try to install the latest Rider EAP and check if it helps? It seems to be fixed there.

Thanks!

I can confirm the binlog issue is fixed at version 2022.1.2
