Artifects and deployment for ZIP configuration
I have a problem with my settings for creating a "zip artifact". Tried to follow the documentation and created an artifact with the path the the build output src\MiNET\MiNET.Service\bin\$(configuration). Called that minet-server.
Then in the ftp deploy i specified that it should upload that "minet-server" to the ftp. But nothing is uploaded to the ftp.
Any idea what I'm missing in this?

Hi Nicke,
What do you have on "Artifacts" tab of build results page - could you drop a screenshot please?

Oh, didn't see that "tab". I only have my nuget package on that tab. No sign of any other artifacts.
As i understand this; by specifying the path to the directory it should create a ZIP out of it. But i don't see any attempts even to package it in the logs or anything.

Package Web Applications for Web Deploy
Package Web Applications for XCopy deployment
Package Azure Cloud Service projects
All these settings are off (unchecked).

Where did you specify that directory?
5 Posted by nicke.olofsson on 08 Apr, 2015 12:48 AM
under Settings->Artifacts
It's feels a bit too magic for me to be true, but that's how i read the documentation.

Do you use appveyor.yml?

Nope, no yml file at all.
This is the project. I increased the log-level now, maybe can pick something up from that. But it takes a bit of time doing the builds for the queue...

Do you have "Configuration" specified on project settings?
9 Posted by nicke.olofsson on 08 Apr, 2015 01:04 AM
More logging didn't tell me anything. It doesn't seem to even try to do anything. Maybe i need to enable some other setting somewhere...
Configuration is set to project default, which is DEBUG.

Setting "Debug" and trying again.

Yeah, it should do the trick.

No change, but i notice this line now:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/NiclasOlofsson/minet/build/1.0.308#L339
Says it is doing "something" about packaging at least. But that could just as well just be the nuget stuff. I will try to remove the configuraiton variable in the path, and hardocode that to debug. And build again..

Ok, i got it to ftp the stuff. I enabled the settings and change to an a path without the config. I'm now removing the settings again to see what part was actually having a positive impact :-)

Ok, the culprit was actually in the path. I had a trailing "\" on the path, and that caused it to not create a zip, and ultimately not getting any deployment through.
