I am trying to pass different MSBuild arguments for two projects in TFS build definition.
I am building a single solution with two projects in it. I am able to pass MSBuild arguments without specifying a projects and it's working. Both projects are building correctly. Now, I want to pass MSBuild arguments separately to both projects because i have different arguments value for both project. I am not able to do that.
If I pass MSBuild arguments as below, common for both project, it's working both project is building correctly.
/p:DeployOnBuild=true /P:PackageTempRootDir=\Release /p:DeployIisAppPath="Default Web Site";DefaultPackageFileName=API.zip /p:OutputPath="$(Build.BinariesDirectory)\$(BuildPlatform)\$(BuildConfiguration)"
If i pass MSBuild arguments separate for both projects,
/t:Project1 /p:DeployOnBuild=true /P:PackageTempRootDir=\Release /p:DeployIisAppPath="Default Web Site";DefaultPackageFileName=API.zip /p:OutputPath="$(Build.BinariesDirectory)\$(BuildPlatform)\$(BuildConfiguration)" /t:Project2 /p:DeployOnBuild=true /P:PackageTempRootDir=\Release /p:DeployIisAppPath="Default Web Site";DefaultPackageFileName=WEB.zip /p:OutputPath="$(Build.BinariesDirectory)\$(BuildPlatform)\$(BuildConfiguration)"
I am only looking for a change in package name based on project as you can see above. for project1 i want API.zip, for project2 i want WEB.zip. I tried to pass it few different ways, it didn't work.
With above agruments i am getting output for both project with same package name and it's WEB.zip. I don't know why. it's building both project but names are same.
I found similar questions specify project file of a solution using msbuild, but it doesn't specify how to pass separate MSBuild agruments to mutliple projects.
