MSBuildDeps Generator - Traits Support

[santhonisz]

Hi there,

I've been experimenting with the latest Conan 2.0.0-beta1 release - it's looking great!

I was wondering if you could clarify if/when requirement traits support is coming the MSBuildDeps generator; currently is appears that transitive dependencies are always still included in the generated .props files and the various requirement traits don't impact the generated files e.g. in the AdditionalIncludeDirectories property etc.

Thanks!

Hi @santhonisz

Yes, you are right, some of the traits behavior are only applied to the CMake generators at the moment.
It totally makes sense to apply them to MSBuildDeps, lets do it, thanks for the feedback.

Implemented in #11680, will be in next beta.2

It also includes support for components.
