How do you call msdeploy from powershell when the

问题:

I'm running into a problem with spaces in my parameters that I try to send into msdeploy from a powershell script.

There are a number of other related articles but none of them solve the problem.

The simplest example that succeeds and then fails when I make it more complicated is just dumping the default web site.

$msdeploy = "C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy\msdeploy.exe"
&$msdeploy -verb:dump -source:appHostConfig=`'default web site`' -verbose
==SUCCESS

This one?

$sitename="default web site"
&$msdeploy -verb:dump -source:appHostConfig=$sitename -verbose
==FAIL with the following error
msdeploy.exe : Error: Unrecognized argument '"-source:"appHostConfig=default'. All arguments must begin with "-".
At C:\xxx\test.ps1:122 char:6
+ &
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (Error: Unrecogn...begin with "-".:String) [], RemoteException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError
Error count: 1.

The following variations have also failed
#FAIL
$sitename=`'default web site`'
$sitename=`'"default web site"`'
$sitename="`'default web site`'"
$sitename="default web site"
$sitename="'default web site'"

&$msdeploy -verb:dump "-source:appHostConfig=$sitename" -verbose
&$msdeploy -verb:dump -source:appHostConfig="$sitename" -verbose
&$msdeploy -verb:dump -source:appHostConfig='$sitename' -verbose
&$msdeploy -verb:dump -source:appHostConfig=`'$sitename`' -verbose
&$msdeploy -verb:dump -source:appHostConfig=`"$sitename`" -verbose

I'm at a loss. Everyone I work with is at a loss. Seriously this sucks. I loved Powershell. I loved msdeploy. I can't say that I love putting them together. It looks like it may have been easier to focus on the API instead of the cli.

EDIT:

The parameters in the string array suggested by Emperor XLII works well. An alternative solution is presented in the following article: The trials and tribulations of using MSDeploy with PowerShell

function PushToTarget([string]$server, [string]$remotePath, [string]$localPath) {
    cmd.exe /C $("msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:contentPath=`"{0}`" -dest:computerName=`"{1}`",contentPath=`"{2}`" -whatif" -f $localPath, $server, $remotePath )
}

Using the technique from Keith's answer to How to run exe in powershell with parameters with spaces and quotes question you linked to, running echoargs -verb:dump -source:appHostConfig=$sitename -verbose gave me this output:

Arg 0 is <-verb:dump>
Arg 1 is <-source:appHostConfig=default>
Arg 2 is <web>
Arg 3 is <site>
Arg 4 is <-verbose>

This would explain the invalid argument of appHostConfig=default that msdeploy was seeing.

Running echoargs -verb:dump "-source:appHostConfig=$sitename" -verbose, with $sitename = "default web site", appears to result in the desired arguments:

Arg 0 is <-verb:dump>
Arg 1 is <-source:appHostConfig=default web site>
Arg 2 is <-verbose> 

Though from your list, it appears that this did not work for you.

Another method you might try is building up the list of arguments in an array, which powershell can automatically escape. For example, this gives the same output as above:

[string[]]$msdeployArgs = @(
  "-verb:dump",
  "-source:appHostConfig=$sitename",
  "-verbose"
)
echoargs $msdeployArgs

Just adding another way in case it is helpful to anyone:

Invoke-Expression "& '[path to msdeploy]\msdeploy.exe' --% -verb:sync -source:contentPath=`'$source`' -dest:contentPath=`'$dest`'"

"--%" is new to powershell 3. From here: "You simply add a the --% sequence (two dashes and a percent sign) anywhere in the command line and PowerShell will not try to parse the remainder of that line."

We had faced the similar kind of issue. Our fix was like below,

$path = "C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe";

$verb = "-verb:sync";

$src = "-source:contentPath=[ESC][ESC][ESC]"c:\aa aa[ESC][ESC][ESC]";

$dest = "-dest:contentPath=[ESC][ESC][ESC]"c:\aa[ESC][ESC][ESC]";

Invoke-Expression "&'$path' $verb $src $dest"; 

where, ESC - is escape sequence/character

Found a working solution and easy fix. Reference: http://answered.site/all-arguments-must-begin-with--at-cwindowsdtldownloadswebserviceswebservicesidservicepublishedwebsitesidservicedeploymentidservicewsdeployps123/4231580/

$msdeploy = "C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe"
$msdeployArgs = @(
"-verb:sync",
"-source:iisApp='Default Web Site/HelloWorld'",
"-verbose",
"-dest:archiveDir='c:\temp1'"
)
Start-Process $msdeploy -NoNewWindow -ArgumentList $msdeployArgs

I tried every technique under the sun, and this is the only one that worked for me (using PowerShell 2).

cmd.exe /C $("msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:package=`"{0}`" -dest:auto,IncludeAcls=`"False`" -disableLink:AppPoolExtension -disableLink:ContentExtension -disableLink:CertificateExtension -setParamFile:`"{1}`"" -f $mypackagepath, $myparamfilepath )

回答6:

Here is another approach derived from the input below.

$msdeploy = "C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe";

$command = "-verb:sync";

$sourcePath = "C:\aa aa\";
$source = $("-source:contentPath=`"{0}`"" -f $sourcePath);

$destPath = "C:\aa"
$destination = $("-dest:contentPath=`"{0}`" -f $destPath);

$msdeploycommand = $("`"{0}`" {1} {2} {3} -verbose" -f $msdeploy, $command, $source, $destination);

cmd.exe /C "`"$msdeploycommand`"";

This caters for the MSDeploy.exe being in its default installation folder which contains spaces. Hence the wrapping with the escape character (`).

回答7:

I've used some ideas from answers above and came up with the following simpler function to do the thing.

Note that it is important to give the full path to MSDeploy as when running under the build agent it sometimes doesnt recognise the PATH to msdeploy.

function Deploy([string]$server, [string]$remotePath, [string]$localPath) {
        $msdeploy = "C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe";
        cmd.exe /C $("`"{3}`" -verb:sync -source:contentPath=`"{0}`" -dest:computerName=`"{1}`",contentPath=`"{2}`" " -f $localPath, $server, $remotePath , $msdeploy )
    }

Usage

Deploy $hostName $remotePath $source

All of the above did not work for me, this is the solution that worked:

# get msdeploy exe
$MSDeploy = ${env:ProgramFiles}, ${env:ProgramFiles(x86)} |
        ForEach-Object {Get-ChildItem -Path $_ -Filter 'MSDeploy.exe' -Recurse} |
        Sort-Object -Property @{Expression={[version]$_.VersionInfo.FileVersion}} -Descending |
        Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty FullName

#build deploy command        
$deplyCmd = """""$MSDeploy"" -verb:sync -dest:iisApp=""Default Web Site"" -enableRule:DoNotDeleteRule -source:iisApp=""$ExtraWebFilesFolder"""    

#execute    
&cmd /c $deplyCmd
