Nothing published to artifactory with msbuild artifactory plugin

Question

I'been trying to use the msbuild Artifactory plugin in my project. After a while wrestling with dependencies I managed to make the Artifactory project to work but although I don't get any errors and the build is successful nothing is being published to Artifactory.

this is my Artifactory.build file:

<!-- 
  Under <Deployments> you can add multiple <Deploy> elements which define the sets of files to deploy to Artifactory. Each <Deploy> element contains the following:

  <InputPattern>
      Here you can supply path to files, that the plugin will collect. The path is relative to the project and to any other projects referenced to him in the solution.
      The usage of Regular Expressions, is not mandatory.
      Regular Expressions must be in format of a Capturing Group (inside Brackets).
      More information about Capturing Group, can be found here: http://www.regular-expressions.info/brackets.html
  <OutputPattern>
      A path inside the Artifactory deployment repository.
      If you used Regular Expressions in the <InputPattern>,  you may use $# symbols in the <OutputPattern> to refer to the Capturing Groups you defined in the <InputPattern>.
      This mechanism enables you to dynamically construct the target path.
  <Properties>
      Artifactory properties that will be attached to every file that the <InputPattren> finds.
      Each Property is defined in a separate <Property> tag.

I only want to publish my dlls as I don't have Artifactory Pro so I can't publish nugets, so I only uncommented the dll section of the deploy.

I'm using visual studio 2015, with nuget package manager 3.4.4 so I'm not supposed to need the .nuget folder since nuget 2.7, but I created a .nuget folder in my project and even added the nuget.exe file to it but that doesn't seem to help. I haven't been able to make visual studio add them automatically.

Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks

Answer 1

The problem was that I needed to change the tag to true and add the tag but I found out that the Artifactory Jenkins plugin has a generic option to upload these artifacts so I really don't need to use de MSBuild Artifactory plugin.

Thanks
