Is there a way to create a build but not actually compile the output

  • 0

Is there a way to create a “build” but not actually compile the output of the site? Bascially I want to push the files live from the source control in TFS to the final IIS folder destination.

I have used CopyDirectory on my other project builds, but that requires a BuildDetail.DropLocation (compiled Build). Maybe there is another option for the CopyDirectory Source I could use that wouldn’t require a build DropLocation.

To simplify, I want to copy files directly from a tfs Source control to a folder, using a Build Template, but that won’t compile the files. Is that possible?

    I figured out a solution to this problem. I created a new .xaml file and then the only item that I put in the sequence was “DownLoadFiles”. Then I filled out the properties of the task and ran a “build” and it worked.
