POIssue with app.config transformation upon installing on new solution
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a package which applies app.config transformations upon project. Transform file looks like this</p> <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <appSettings> <add key="handlerId" value="$assemblyname$"/>  <--other params--> </appSettings> </configuration> </code></pre> <p>The case is: add package to a new project with no app.config, manually update app.config in project, and then update package.</p> <p>If I include app.config.transform to my package nuget creates app.config in project, but if i change value of one of parameters and update/reinstall package it creates copy of that parameter with value of package instead of skipping it. </p> <p>For example: Installed package upon clean project</p> <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <appSettings> <add key="handlerId" value="MyApp"/> </appSettings> </configuration> </code></pre> <p>Then changed handlerId value to <code>MyApp1</code> and update package. The result of transformation is</p> <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <appSettings> <add key="handlerId" value="MyApp1"/> <add key="handlerId" value="MyApp"/>  </appSettings> </configuration> </code></pre> <p>I tried to use xdt transformations instead. They work great upon package updating or installing package on project with app.config, but if there is no app.config nuget doesn't create it.</p>
