Web Deployment Projects for VS08 released as CTP & Migration tips
My old build script wasn't working after the migration to this new version and you will find in this post the different adaptation that I had to do.
Add missing ToolsVersion as following:
<Project DefaultTargets="Build"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"
ToolsVersion="3.5">Replace
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\WebDeployment\v8.0\Microsoft.WebDeployment.targets"/>
with
<Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\WebDeployment\v9.0\Microsoft.WebDeployment.targets"/>
I also had to add the following to the beginning of my AfterBuild task:
<Target Name="AfterBuild">
<CreateItem Include="$(TempBuildDir)\**\*.*">
<Output ItemName="CompiledFiles" TaskParameter="Include" />
</CreateItem>
<Exec Command="if exist "$(WDTargetDir)" rd /s /q "$(WDTargetDir)"" />
<Exec Command="if not exist "$(WDTargetDir)" md "$(WDTargetDir)"" />
<Copy SourceFiles="@(CompiledFiles)" DestinationFolder="$(WDTargetDir)\%(CompiledFiles.SubFolder)%(CompiledFiles.RecursiveDir)" />
<Exec Command="if exist "$(TempBuildDir)" rd /s /q "$(TempBuildDir)"" />
...</Target>
Otherwise I ended up with TempBuildDir folder with a part of my solution. This is just a copy of what is defined in Microsoft.WebDeployment.targets.
Now everything works like before, I can:
- set Staging as my active solution configuration
- Run a compilation
- Zip the merged result of the build
- Start uploading using ssh to the target stage server
Nice!
