BlazorEnableCompression flag is ignored when publishing Blazor WASM projects

[LostBeard]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the bug

Brotli and Gzip compression cannot be turned off when publishing a Blazor WASM project using dotnet publish.

Microsoft reference on how to disable compression in Blazor WASM

Expected Behavior

I expected compression to be disabled.

Steps To Reproduce

To reproduce:
Create a new Blazor WebAssembly project and attempt to publish with BlazorEnableCompression disabled either by setting the flag <BlazorEnableCompression>false</BlazorEnableCompression> in the project's .csproj file or using the flag -p:BlazorEnableCompression=false with dotnet publish. Both fail to disable the output of Brotli and Gzip encoded files in the published files (.br and .gz files in _framework folder.)

Exceptions (if any)

.NET Version

8.0.100-preview.7.23376.3

@LostBeard thanks for contacting us.

The flag has changed in .net 8.0. It's now called CompressionEnabled

Thank you for your help. I have submitted a pull request to update the documentation.

@guardrex yes.

@MackinnonBuck we probably want to bring the flag back in the Blazor SDK for backwards compatibility.

@javiercn is there any remaining work here?
