                  solutionFile.location = "vs/${name}.sln"
                  solutionFile.withContent { TextProvider content ->
                      content.asBuilder().insert(0, "# GENERATED FILE: DO NOT EDIT\\n")
                      content.text = content.text.replaceAll("HideSolutionNode = FALSE", "HideSolutionNode = TRUE")
