I am trying to publish an Asp.net MVC web application locally using the NAnt

  • 0

I am trying to publish an Asp.net MVC web application locally using the NAnt and MSBuild. This is what I am using for my NAnt target;

<target name='publish-artifacts-to-build'>     <msbuild project='my-solution.sln' target='Publish'>       <property name='Configuration' value='debug' />       <property name='OutDir' value='builds\' />       <arg line='/m:2 /tv:3.5' />     </msbuild> </target>

and all I get is this as a response;

[msbuild]          Skipping unpublishable project.

Is it possible to publish web applications via the command line in this way?

  1. The ‘Publish’ target you are trying to invoke is for ‘OneClick’ deployment, not for publishing a website… This is why you are getting the seemingly bizarre message. You would want to use the AspNetCompiler task, rather than the MSBuild task. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164291.aspx for more info on this task. Your ‘PublishDir’ would correspond to the TargetPath property of the task.
