Deploy PHP application using TFS 2013 and Jenkins

Question

I have setup Jenkins (with Git, MSBuild,TFS modules) and TFS 2013 (for code management). I am developing PHP applications and would like to deploy the code from TFS 2013 server to various servers such as to production, using jenkins or TFS build process. Can anyone recommend a way of doing this (without upgrading to TFS 2015 as recommended by Miccrosoft team).

Answer 1

If you insist on using TFS2013. You can add the InvokeProcess activity in build process template to execute the xcopy command line to copy files from source to destination. Please refer to the example for more details in this article: Customize Team Build 2010 – Use more complex arguments

Then add your target server name. After your queue your TFS build, the bits and binaries will be deployed to your target server directly.
