Missing “Deploy”-Button Visual Studio 2012

Yesterday I have installed Visual Studio 2012 Premium on my SharePoint 2013 Development Machine. I also installed the Office Developer Tools to get the SP2013 Project templates.

Opening my SP 2010 Solution File and converting to 2013 was successful.

My problem: There is no "Deploy"-Button in the Project-Context-Menu anymore. Everything is there: Build, Rebuild, Retract etc.

But no Deploy.

Asked this in the SharePoint Forum too

Have you put valid site url in project's site url property? - Yevgeniy.Chernobrivets
Is there a deploy option if you right-click the solution? - Ola Ekdahl
I have put a valid Url in the properties window. But no Deploy option on project right click. On Solution it exists but I do not want to deploy the whole solution! - Martin

I had the same problem.

I started by creating some solutions folders, and placing my SharePoint project in those. After moving a project from root --> frontend\ , the deploy menu item, in the context menu of the project disappeared.

I solved this, I had to move the SharePoint project to the root-folder of the solution, and the deployment feature re-appeared in the project context menu.
