MSBuild AssignCulture task assigns empty culture to pseudo-cultures (qps-ploc, qps-plocm)

I have a number of localized RESX files in my project:

    Messages.resx
    Messages.de.resx
    Messages.qps-ploc.resx

The last one being a pseudo-localized text resource for testing purposes. I would like it to be compiled to a satellite assembly (i.e. project/qps-ploc/project.resources.dll) as the rest of localizations . But for some reason AssignCulture task is assigning empty culture to this resource and it's not compiled as the result.

Snippet from MSBuild log: 

    Task "AssignCulture"
      Culture of "de" was assigned to file "Resources\Messages.de.resx".
      Culture of "" was assigned to file "Resources\Messages.resx".
      Culture of "" was assigned to file "Resources\Messages.qps-ploc.resx".
    Done executing task "AssignCulture".

Pseudo-localization cultures have been enabled in registry as described here and new CultureInfo("qps-ploc") returns correct pseudo culture.

Is this an expected behavior from AssignCulture or just me using it wrong?

Solution

  • Not sure what happened, but suddenly everything started to work. Perhaps somehow related to system reboot.
