❔ [Compiler Help] [GitLab CI/CD]

I'm trying to replace some basic strings with important data about the git hash and git branch, and I am able to replace the strings but they are not actually building into the app. I am using gitlab ci/cd to build them for me, and I can see that the output definitely is changing however when I view the dll in my compiler (DnSpy), the strings are not updated. I am using the official dotnet ci cd file with some modifications.

I want to update these right before compilation because one of the apps is dotnet 7.0 native aot and since it doesn't have reflection, I need a simpler solution The other app is dotnet framework 4.8.1 Here is my gitlab ci cd file (mostly stripped of comments):

    image: redforce04/discordbot:netdataslbuilder
    stages:
      - build

    variables:
      OBJECTS_DIRECTORY: 'obj'
      NUGET_PACKAGES_DIRECTORY: '.nuget'
      SOURCE_CODE_PATH: '*/'
    
     cache:
      key: "$CI_JOB_STAGE-$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG"
      paths:
        - '$SOURCE_CODE_PATH$OBJECTS_DIRECTORY/project.assets.json'
        - '$SOURCE_CODE_PATH$OBJECTS_DIRECTORY/*.csproj.nuget.*'
        - '$NUGET_PACKAGES_DIRECTORY'
      policy: pull-push
 
    before_script:
      - 'dotnet restore --packages $NUGET_PACKAGES_DIRECTORY'
    
    build:
      stage: build
      script: 
      - 'envsubst < PWProfiler/AssemblyInfo.cs | sponge PWProfiler/AssemblyInfo.cs'
      - 'dotnet publish -c Release --no-restore'
      - 'mv PWProfiler/bin/Debug/PWProfiler.dll PWProfiler.dll'
      artifacts:
        name: "Build Results"
        paths: 
          - PWProfiler.dll

    image: redforce04/discordbot:netdataslbuilder
    stages:
      - build

    variables:
      OBJECTS_DIRECTORY: 'obj'
      NUGET_PACKAGES_DIRECTORY: '.nuget'
      SOURCE_CODE_PATH: '*/'
    
     cache:
      key: "$CI_JOB_STAGE-$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG"
      paths:
        - '$SOURCE_CODE_PATH$OBJECTS_DIRECTORY/project.assets.json'
        - '$SOURCE_CODE_PATH$OBJECTS_DIRECTORY/*.csproj.nuget.*'
        - '$NUGET_PACKAGES_DIRECTORY'
      policy: pull-push
 
    before_script:
      - 'dotnet restore --packages $NUGET_PACKAGES_DIRECTORY'
    
    build:
      stage: build
      script: 
      - 'envsubst < PWProfiler/AssemblyInfo.cs | sponge PWProfiler/AssemblyInfo.cs'
      - 'dotnet publish -c Release --no-restore'
      - 'mv PWProfiler/bin/Debug/PWProfiler.dll PWProfiler.dll'
      artifacts:
        name: "Build Results"
        paths: 
          - PWProfiler.dll

I used cat to verify the file was updated, and it seemed to look fine I use envsubst < PWProfiler/AssemblyInfo.cs | sponge PWProfiler/AssemblyInfo.cs to replace the variable and overwrite it it basically overwrites this file:

public static class AssemblyInfo
{
    public const string CommitHash = "${CI_COMMIT_SHORT_SHA}";
    public const string CommitBranch = "${CI_COMMIT_BRANCH}";
}

public static class AssemblyInfo
{
    public const string CommitHash = "${CI_COMMIT_SHORT_SHA}";
    public const string CommitBranch = "${CI_COMMIT_BRANCH}";
}

here is the file after cat:

public static class AssemblyInfo
{
    public const string CommitHash = "9cfd23c0";
    public const string CommitBranch = "dev";
}

public static class AssemblyInfo
{
    public const string CommitHash = "9cfd23c0";
    public const string CommitBranch = "dev";
}

Looks like nothing has happened here. I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.
