I have a solution with multiple projects(.NET). Most of them Web applications and one Console Application.
I have created a new solution configuration in Visual Studio called QA.
On my Azure DevOps CI Build I have set up my BuildConfiguration to QA.
Everything builds but when I check in my Publish Artifact I don't see my Console Application project artifact.
Anybody else having this issue ?
What determines what projects get publish as an Artifact ?
Thanks In advance
By default the console application project will not be published to artifact as There isn't any project specific setup required to generate the exe and release files for the console application in build artifact directory.
However if you want to include the Console Application in the artifact, you just need to add a Copy Files step to copy the Console Application to the $(build.artifactstagingdirectory). Of course you need to firstly make sure you have built the Console Application project and the .exe file generated successfully.
Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory
The local path on the agent where any artifacts are copied to before being pushed to their destination. For example: c:\agent_work\1\a.
A typical way to use this folder is to publish your build artifacts with the Copy files and Publish build artifacts steps.
You can also build the Console Application separately with MSBuild task, and VisualStudioBuild task to build the rest of the applications.
