Copy Plugin on Build not doing anything Follow

Cool, thanks Salva! I forgot to change the suffix because I switched computers and change the suffix when install ReSharper again.

After I altered the suffix I got the dll file copied as expected, the pdb file however I also specified to copy doesn't get synchronized.

Any idea why? and how I can get both of them copied?

Please, provide full msbuild log - there will be some warnings from your Copy tasks.
Also, run build with Verbose logging.

I replied with email and looks like a ticket is generated sorry about that...

According to log, at the moment of copying there is no *.pdb files in bin
Task "Copy"
Task Parameter:
SourceFiles=
bin\Debug\AssemblyDependency.dll
OriginalItemSpec=obj\Debug\AssemblyDependency.dll
Task Parameter:DestinationFolder=C:\Users\lene.wei\AppData\Local\JetBrains\Installations\ReSharperPlatformVs14Exp
Copying file from "bin\Debug\AssemblyDependency.dll" to "C:\Users\lene.wei\AppData\Local\JetBrains\Installations\ReSharperPlatformVs14Exp\AssemblyDependency.dll".

Are you sure it exists after build there?

Seems, IncrementalClean target deletes it.
It's MsBuild bug and it's logged here https://github.com/Microsoft/msbuild/issues/1054

As workaround, you can copy it from obj\Debug directory.

oops I replied with emails again and 2 more tickets are created...
Just want to say thanks very much for your prompt help!

I just have time to test copying from obj\Debug, unfortunately it doesn't work either.

Turns out that the copy tag within CopyPlugin never works, I removed the copy task in CopyPlugin and the dll is copied over anyway!

I did a workaround to extend the build process, this time it works as expected.

<Target Name="CopyPlugin" AfterTargets="AfterBuild" Condition="'$(HostFullIdentifier)' != ''">
 <InstalledProductsDiscoveryTask HostFullIdentifier="$(HostFullIdentifier)">
 <Output TaskParameter="Directories" ItemName="InstallFolder" />
 </InstalledProductsDiscoveryTask>
 <Message Text="InstallFolder: @(InstallFolder)" Importance="High" />
 </Target>
 <Target Name="AfterCopyPlugin" AfterTargets="CopyPlugin" Condition="'$(HostFullIdentifier)' != ''">
 <Copy SourceFiles="bin\Debug\AssemblyDependency.pdb" DestinationFolder="@(InstallFolder)" Condition="Exists('@(InstallFolder)')" />
 </Target>

build result:

I've the same issue. I was able to resolve it by using a proper host identifier however it doesn't overwrite old PDB file.
Is there an issue ticket to track this issue? (I'm not using incremental build)
