docfx.console build in Visual Studio does not respect memberLayout=separatePages

[michfuchs]

I'm using the nuget package docfx.console in VisualStudio.

package id="docfx.console" version="2.59.4"

My docfx version is 2.70.3.

With this, I have to run the usual command line once to serve the site on localhost.

docfx docfx.json --serve

But after that, all I need to do in order to update the _site output is build the project containing the package. This seems both faster and more convenient than always running the serve command, and has worked well.

But this build does not seem to respect the memberLayout configuration in docfx.json:
"metadata": [ { "memberLayout": "separatePages", ...
This will only be picked up by the command line, not the project build.

Maybe this is a result of the version difference? As I understand the memberLayout configuration was added around 2.64, and the nuget package is older. Is the nuget package no longer released?

Any suggestions for how I can keep using the setup with the nuget package/project build?

docfx.console is indeed no longer released; see #9103.

In 2.59.4, the memberpage plugin would have to be used instead of "memberLayout": "separatePages", but I don't know the details.

Thank you, your answer linked me up to #8605, which works perfectly for what I need to do.
