Trying to get TFS 2012 to publish site

I am trying to get my TFS server to build and then publish my application - building it is not a problem but deploying it yields not results.

Quick review of my build config:

  • Workspace: Active $/Path/to/solution Build Agent Folder: $(SourceDir)
  • Process: Build Any CPU | Staging
    • Ms Build args: /p:DeployOnBuild=True /p:DeployTarget=MSDeployPublish /p:MsDeployServiceUrl=https://{host}:8172/msdeploy.axd /p:MsDeployPublishMethod=WMSVC /p:CreatePackageOnPublish=True /p:username= /p:AllowUntrustedCertificate=True

The build agent is using a service account which I have defined as a IIS Manager on the site. Within the project properties I have defined the site name within the Staging configuration (I have been following this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxJUhIQfzlA)

Is the problem I'm having around the user authentication and I should specify the username and password within the MsBuild Args?

Within the MSBuild log, it makes no mention of publishing the application in anyway. Where am I going wrong?

Edit: In an attempt to get a resolution to my problem, I have included some screenshots of the build config - a username and password has been defined with admin privileges on the server

Actually, having asked the question I thought I would try it out and specify the username and password within the Build arguments - no joy there... - Matt

Figured it out, needed to install Web Deploy v3 So glad I got to the bottom of that! If you have also stumbled across this post, you may also find this post of some use.

Try putting just the server name in the MsDeployServiceUrl param. That is the way mine are and they work fine. Everything else is the same as yours.

/p:DeployOnBuild=True /p:DeployTarget=MSDeployPublish /p:MSDeployPublishMethod=WMSVC /p:AllowUntrustedCertificate=True /p:CreatePackageOnPublish=true /p:DeployIISAppPath="Default Web Site/xyz" /p:MsDeployServiceUrl="webservername"  /p:username="def" /p:password="ghi"
