  • 0

I’m trying to publish a .Net web app using Powershell. I want to publish “all files in this project” but it only seems to be publishing “only files needed to run this application”. When I publish from Visual Studio 2010 it work fine.

Here’s my command:

& msbuild "$WebProjectFile" /verbosity:minimal "/t:ResolveReferences;_CopyWebApplication;publish" /p:Configuration=Release /p:OutDir="$PublishPath\bin\" /p:WebProjectOutputDir="$PublishPath"

Any ideas how I can do this?

    alistek pointed me in the right direction and I ended up using Robocopy to copy the missing files:

    & robocopy "{folder with missing files}" "$PublishPath\{folder to put missing files}" /MIR /NJH /NJS /NFL /NDL

    Notes:

    • This worked perfectly for me because all my missing files were from a single directory
    • The /NJH /NJS /NFL /NDL switches are only used to stop Robocopy from spitting its progress to the screen
