Adds support for app execution alias#4696
Conversation

If it's a PR that can be merged, personally, I'd see it more as a template alongside the basic one (like self-contained) with mstest as a dependency or as a dependency of mstest |

Yes, this feel like it should be a separate feature, and not always included (especially without adding to the documentation of this option) I don't see the connection to the mstest option though? @Mysterious-Dev ? |
@mrlacey I may have confused automated tests with mstest |
|
Yeah, it works best as an option like Self-Contained called maybe "launch from command line". however, you only need it for packaged apps (MSIX packaging option included). Unpackaged apps don't need it because you can directly launch the .exe. So the template option needs to be conscious about it. |
