What I thought would be simple is not. All I am trying to do is get MSBuild to copy website files to another server after my build.
In my Build definition Under Process --> Advance --> MSBuild Arguments I put
/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=WebsiteProfile
It builds fine but it never copies files to destination
BUT when I run this command locally, IT WORKS!!!!!
msbuild /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=WebsiteProfile
I have VS 2012 installed in Build Server so I think all the necessary files are there.
What is the problem?
UPDATE 1
Output in build log file
Run MSBuild for Project
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe /nologo /noconsolelogger "C:\Builds\1\MyProject\MyProject\src\MyProject.sln" /nr:False /fl /flp:"logfile=C:\Builds\1\MyProject\MyProject\src\MyProject.log;encoding=Unicode;verbosity=detailed" /p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=WebsiteProfile /p:VisualStudioVersion=11.0 /m /p:OutDir="C:\Builds\1\MyProject\MyProject\bin\\" /p:RunCodeAnalysis="False" /p:VCBuildOverride="C:\Builds\1\MyProject\MyProject\src\MyProject.sln.vsprops" /dl:WorkflowCentralLogger,"E:\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 11.0\Tools\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Server.Logger.dll";"Verbosity=Detailed;BuildUri=vstfs:///Build/Build/64;InformationNodeId=20178;TargetsNotLogged=GetNativeManifest,GetCopyToOutputDirectoryItems,GetTargetPath;TFSUrl=http://abc-tfs-p:8080/tfs/defaultcollection;"*WorkflowForwardingLogger,"E:\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 11.0\Tools\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Server.Logger.dll";"Verbosity=Detailed;"
REPRODUCTION STEPS
- Created new website project
- Made sure it worked on local machine using development server
- Checked code in TFS
- Created a build definition using all the default settings Under the Process --> Advance --> MSBuild Arguments I put
/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=WebsiteProfile
The publish profile copies the changeset to a remote server.
