I just wrote a blog post to answer this at http://sedodream.com/2012/08/20/WebDeployMSDeployHowToSyncAFolder.aspx. From your question it looks like you are pretty familiar with MSDeploy so the answer might be a bit verbose but I wanted people with less knowledge of MSDeploy to be able to understand. I’ve pasted the answer below. Web Deploy (aka MSDeploy) uses … Read more
I’ve been hitting my head against the wall for this. After hiking through the MSBuild targets I’ve come across something very “opaque”. Long story short: Try using the new _WPPCopyWebApplication. It works on my machine. The old _CopyWebApplication does not support transformations for legacy reasons. This is what I do: msbuild /t:Rebuild /p:OutDir=..\publish\;Configuration=Release;UseWPP_CopyWebApplication=True;PipelineDependsOnBuild=False MvcApplication1\MvcApplication1.csproj # … Read more
Ok, finally figured this out. The command line you need is: msbuild path/to/your/webdirectory/YourWeb.csproj /p:Configuration=Debug;DeployOnBuild=True;PackageAsSingleFile=False You can change where the project outputs to by adding a property of outdir=c:\wherever\ in the /p: section. This will create the output at: path/to/your/webdirectory/obj/Debug/Package/PackageTmp/ You can then copy those files from the above directory using whatever method you’d like. I’ve … Read more
As per my answer from Using MSBuild, how do I build an MVC4 solution from the command line (applying Web.config transformations in the process) and output to a folder? msbuild ProjectFile.csproj /p:Configuration=Release ^ /p:Platform=AnyCPU ^ /t:WebPublish ^ /p:WebPublishMethod=FileSystem ^ /p:DeleteExistingFiles=True ^ /p:publishUrl=c:\output Or if you are building the solution file: msbuild Solution.sln /p:Configuration=Release ^ /p:DeployOnBuild=True … Read more
None of these answers are sufficient in my mind. This does seem to be a genuine bug. I will update this response if I ever find a non-hack solution, or Microsoft fixes the bug. Update: Doesn’t seem promising. https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/731303/publish-web-feature-not-including-all-dlls
It can be done when you invoke msdeploy manually – just add the following parameter: -skip:Directory=\\App_Data See Web Deploy Operation Settings. The path is a regular expression, so it is quite flexible. If you deploy using the VS-generated ProjectName.deploy.cmd script, you can also pass this parameter in the _MsDeployAdditionalFlags environment variable (when running that script). … Read more
Here’s a list I’ve compiled for my own reference, along with some of the legal values that can be used. Note that these are passed into MSBuild using the /p:<PropertyName>=<Value> syntax. DeployOnBuild True False DeployTarget MsDeployPublish Package Configuration Name of a valid solution configuration CreatePackageOnPublish True False DeployIisAppPath <Web Site Name>/<Folder> MsDeployServiceUrl Location of MSDeploy … Read more
I had this too but with a slightly different detail Not able to log on the user ‘.\WDeployConfigWriter’. Logon failure: the specified account password has expired. Full credit to this blog, the problem is that the Web Deploy installer creates users with expiring passwords that are used to elevate permissions during deployment. The fix is … Read more
I just got this working without installing VS2010 by following these steps on the build server: If .NET Framework 4 isn’t installed, install it Install the Web Deployment tool from http://www.iis.net/download/webdeploy From the C:\Program Files\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v10.0 folder on your dev machine copy the “Web” and “Web Applications” folders to the equivalent directory on your build server. … Read more
