I set up TFS Deployer currenlty at work and have been tried to write a Powershell script for the deployment. I have been researched and read many posted questions and answers at StackoverFlow but I couldn't really making the script working yet.
So far, when I run the following PS on windows PowerShell ISE, it runs.
$envMsDeploy = $env:msdeploy
$DirMsDeploy = split-Path -Parent $envMsDeploy
# defined the current location to $DirMSDeploy = C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V2
set-location $DirMsDeploy
$arg = @(
'-verb:sync';
'-source:contentPath=' + $buildDroppedLocation;
'-dest:contentPath=' + $destinationPath;
' -whatif > c:\temp\msdeploy.log'
)
$runMSDeploy = ($DirMsDeploy + "\Msdeploy.exe " + $arg)
$runMSDeploy | Out-file c:\temp\MsDeployTest.bat
I put the last sentence to confirm what gets saved $runMSDeploy. Now looks like $runMSDeploy saves what I want to put finally.
MSDeployTest.Bat contains C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V2\Msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:contentPath=[[c:\source folder]] -dest:contentPath=[[Detination UNC path]] -whatif > c:\temp\msdeploy.log
This is where I'm stuck at right now. Because of the c:\Program files contains the empty folder, cmd doesn't run successfully rather giving me the error, "cmd.exe : 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command"
If you have any suggestions or idea, please let me know.
thanks,
