Description

When I enable Build Logging in Visual Studio and build the sql project, the MSBuild structured build logs are not produced.

I expected an MSBuild structured build log to be created.

Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Build and Run > MSBuild project build output verbosity: Diagnostic

It works with csproj project files.
