Adding an Azure WebJob causes build to fail

Adding an Azure WebJob project will cause the AppVeyor build to fail.

It looks like the build is expecting an appveyor.pubxml file that isn't there:

The value for PublishProfile is set to 'appveyor', expected to find the file at 'C:\projects\azurewebjobsample\WebJob1\Properties\PublishProfiles\appveyor.pubxml' but it could not be found.

Any suggestions on how to get this working?

I have a sample project setup here if that helps.

https://ci.appveyor.com/project/JeffPapp/azurewebjobsample

Thanks,
Jeff

   Look at this workaround: http://help.appveyor.com/discussions/problems/977-deploy-web-job-us...

   Our current issue is detecting WebJob projects inside the solution. Seems they are not using any specific project GUID. It looks like a regular console app, but VS somehow knows it's webjob.

   That workaround fixed our issue.

   I did notice that if the Microsoft.Web.WebJobs.Publish nuget package isn't in the console app project then everything will build fine, but once that nuget package is added then it fails. I don't know if that could help to determine if it's a WebJob project.

   Thanks for the update!

   That's an interesting observation. I'd never thought about such a "weak" dependency. Will take a look.
