Hi!

We are looking to deploy our microservices from appveyor to a Service Fabric Cluster (not hosted in azure). Do you have any plans or interest in developing this as a deploy provider?

Thanks,
Kjetil.

   Hi Kjetil,

   How do you currently deploy your app to Service Fabric Cluster?

   Hi Feodor,

   I'm working with Kjetil.

   Currently, we are just doing the publish from Visual Studio.

   Is there any way to publish it from command line? Is there a command shown in "Output" pane of Visual Studio during deployment?

   Hi.

   This publish script is running:
   '{solutionPath}\{ProjectName}\Scripts\Deploy-FabricApplication.ps1' -ApplicationPackagePath '{solutionPath}\{ProjectName}\pkg\Release' -PublishProfileFile '{solutionPath}\{ProjectName}\PublishProfiles\{publishProfileName}.xml' -DeployOnly:$false -ApplicationParameter:@{} -UnregisterUnusedApplicationVersionsAfterUpgrade $false -OverrideUpgradeBehavior 'None' -OverwriteBehavior 'SameAppTypeAndVersion' -SkipPackageValidation:$false -ErrorAction Stop

   I just want to emphasize that the issue here is not that we are unable to deploy to service fabric from AppVeyor; We are doing that now using a few custom made powershell scripts to 1) fix versioning, 2) run msbuild with package creation on a .sfproj file, 3) connect to the servicefabric cluster and then 4) finally publish using the standard "Deploy-FabricApplication.ps1"-script.
   This is however very cumbersome when talking about many microservices being deployed this way.
   Creating a new microservice is time consuming when you have to factor in all the various scripts and set up we have to do, just because AppVeyor does not support Service Fabric Deploy out of the box. This is more of a feature request or maybe rather an inquiry on whether there are any plans on supporting Service Fabric as an out-of-the-box deploy provider.

   Thanks in advance for your response.

   I see, thanks. We are going to revise deployment functionality in AppVeyor to allow custom deployment providers and environments based on PS scripts and Docker. For now you may want to simulate the environment with this approach: https://www.appveyor.com/blog/2015/11/04/deployment-projects/
