I have an error when deploying my click-once project with Azure DevOps Pipeline. I don't see where is my error.
First, I can build and publish my click-once application manually from Visual Studio. I have no issue. When I use Azure DevOps Pipeline to build and publish my click-once application I get an error:
[error]C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Enterprise\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\Microsoft.Common.CurrentVersion.targets(780,5): Error : The OutputPath property is not set for project '******.vbproj'. Please check to make sure that you have specified a valid combination of Configuration and Platform for this project. Configuration='release' Platform='any cpu'. You may be seeing this message because you are trying to build a project without a solution file, and have specified a non-default Configuration or Platform that doesn't exist for this project.
The OutputPath property is not set for project. Well, I don't know. Let me give you my project file:
