I need some advice on configuring TFS Build to work with MSBuild and a Publish Profile via File System to deploy my web app...
I'm using TFS 2013 and Visual Studio 2013. I have a Web Application project with a few class library projects. I have a web.config transform for our Dev and QA environments. I have Publish Profiles defined that are doing a File System deploy. These Publish Profiles work in Visual Studio. These same Publish Profiles work if I open the command line and execute MSBuild using the following commands:
/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile="Dev Intranet"
I've created a TFS Build Definition and all of the builds report that they are successful. I've configured the MSBuild Arguments with the same parameters as executing MSBuild from the command line.
I'm expecting the Publish Profile to copy the PublishedWebsite to a folder on my network, but this isn't happening.
For testing purposes, I set the TFS Build drop folder to the same network location. All of those files show up including a "_PublishedWebsite" directory. But I can not use this directory because the web.config isn't transformed.
I've found several websites that suggest that this is possible, but I've yet to have any success. If anybody has gotten this to work, I'd appreciate some help.
