<p>What you are looking for is vNext of deployment we are designing
at the moment. Currently, deployment during the build and
deployment from Environments page are done separately through they
share the same providers. Deployments as part of the build process
can access build environment variables and they can call scripts as
they run on dedicated VMs.</p>
<p>All your questions make sense and this will be a part of new
"unified" deployment mechanism.</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/336469722014-07-06T23:05:13Z2014-07-06T23:05:14ZDeploy Before/After Scripts and Environment Variables<div><p>Thanks for getting back to me. I'm currently using WebDeploy. Do
I have any options before the unified deployment?</p>
<p>There's a <a href=
"http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee619740(v=ws.10">runCommand
WebDeploy provider</a>.aspx) where I could execute scripts that
have been updated with environment variables via parameters.xml,
but I don't see a way to configure this in appveyor. Is there
something undocumented I can do in appveyor.xml?</p></div>Tomtag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/336469722014-07-07T06:39:12Z2014-07-07T06:39:12ZDeploy Before/After Scripts and Environment Variables<div><p>The only way to call custom provider right now is to use
msdeploy.exe command line.</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/336469722014-07-07T13:06:41Z2014-07-07T13:06:42ZDeploy Before/After Scripts and Environment Variables<div><p>It looks like the only way to call msdeploy.exe via command line
is if you're doing a build deploy, not manual environment deploy,
right?</p></div>Tomtag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/336469722014-07-07T13:08:45Z2014-07-07T13:08:45ZDeploy Before/After Scripts and Environment Variables<div><p>That's correct. Alternatively, you can try <a href=
"http://www.appveyor.com/docs/deployment/agent">agent
deployment</a> (Windows Server 2012 and above). It allows running
<code>deploy.ps1</code> on remote machine as part of deployment
package.</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/336469722014-07-07T15:03:50Z2014-07-07T15:03:54ZDeploy Before/After Scripts and Environment Variables<div><p>We are using Azure, so agent deployment on the web server is not
a possibility. I'm trying to consolidate with appveyor and avoid
having to maintain a server for TeamCity and Octopus Deploy. A
manual deployment with before/after scripts is a requirement for me
at this time.</p>
<p>Thanks for your responses. Please let me know when the next
version of deployment is completed.</p></div>Tomtag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/336469722014-07-07T16:11:25Z2014-07-07T16:11:27ZDeploy Before/After Scripts and Environment Variables<div><p>Is there any way to export my current project configuration so I
have all the setup saved when I'm able to use appveyor?</p></div>Tomtag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/336469722014-07-07T16:49:24Z2014-07-07T16:49:24ZDeploy Before/After Scripts and Environment Variables<div><p>The best way to preserve config is to use

unified deployment system and what you have planned. Can you tell
us more or is there anywhere we can get more information about
it?</p></div>sebastiantag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/336469722015-10-15T22:51:58Z2015-10-15T22:51:58ZDeploy Before/After Scripts and Environment Variables<div><p>I so wish you would add support for giving environment
deployment the same features as your build deployment. What I'd
like to do is take the artifacts that I built and tested and deploy
them to staging. This involved deploying a database update and then
an ElasticBeanstalk update. This is not possible without scripts.
Otherwise I will have to create another build that creates new
artifacts to deploy. I know you're trying to create consistency
among other things but a deployment is often a sequence of events.
Allowing the Environment Deployment to support a sequence of
options just like the build deployment would not only be nice but
would be required in a lot of use cases. Love the product other
than that limitation.</p></div>miketag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/336469722015-10-28T06:44:42Z2015-11-03T21:30:41ZDeploy Before/After Scripts and Environment Variables<div><p>I'm looking for this feature as deployment to Azure Website is
really tricky for us, as we have to use script to stop Azure Web
App slot first to avoid file locking issue (our Web App is
Orchard-base, an open-source CMS in C#).</p>
<p>It has been a year and I'd really like to know where you guys
are regarding this "vNext of deployment". Hopefully it's still on
the table?</p></div>mr560889223tag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/336469722015-11-05T04:50:42Z2015-11-05T04:50:42ZDeploy Before/After Scripts and Environment Variables<div><p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>I've just blogged about "Deployment projects" simulating
"Script" environments: <a href="http://www.appveyor.com/blog/2015/11/04/deployment-projects">http://www.appveyor.com/blog/2015/11/04/deployment-projects</a></p>
<p>I think described approach could be adopted for your use
cases.</p>
<p>Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions or
suggestions. Your feedback is appreciated!</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/336469722015-11-05T23:08:39Z2015-11-05T23:08:39ZDeploy Before/After Scripts and Environment Variables<div><p>Fantastic. This should do it for us!! I’ll try it out in a
few days.</p>
