#10942) * add WarningsAsMessages, WarningsAsErrors, WarningsNotAsErrors and TreatWarningsAsErrors to the engine (e.g. variant without prefix). test those so that nothing breaks * Optional output in BuildProjectExpectFailure Optionally capture output in BuildProjectExpectFailure for better test diagnosability. * Capture output logging in new tests * working through the review. Some test improvements. Changewave used. Comments. * addressing review comments * final review round, minor test update --------- Co-authored-by: Rainer Sigwald <raines@microsoft.com>
Normally we wouldn't have this changewave in this release, but because we want to have a consistent changewave for behavior changed after release, we're backporting it.

Summary
Respect
WarningsAsMessages,WarningsAsErrors,WarningsNotAsErrors, andTreatWarningsAsErrorsin addition to theirMSBuild-prefixed versions in all projects, not just ones that importMicrosoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets.Customer Impact
Reduced complexity in opting to keep warnings as warnings, making it easier to configure warnings how you expect.
Regression?
No, this behavior is longstanding. It's higher severity now due to the NuGet Audit warnings, which are often created in one project (where a package is referenced) but raised in another (where the restore actually happened), which may have the easy-to-type form of the property but not the respected-before-this-change one.
Testing
New and existing automated tests.
Risk
Medium-low. Users almost certainly intended this behavior and it works this way in most project types. To mitigate risk further, the behavior can be reverted to the prior behavior with an environment variable (changewave).
