Our team is working with TeamCity and I am building a deployment system for it. I need to know for a ASP.NET web application what file extensions need to be deployed.
I know I need:
.aspx .html .htm .js .css .jpg .png
Does anyone know anything else?
There could be any number of file extensions depending on what your solution is using, but the major ones to check would probably be:
ASP.NET File Formats:
.aspx .ascx .master .asax .resx .config .sitemap .skin .axd .ashx .browser
HTML & CSS File Formats:
.html .htm .css
Image formats:
.jpg .jpeg .gif .bmp
Other File Formats:
.js .xml .xsl .xslt .swf .log
You need .config for the web.config file. As for whatever else you need, it's entirely dependent on your project. We can't really answer this question without knowing the contents of your solution explorer.
You might need .gif, .bmp, .swf, .log, or a million other file types.
Why not use msbuild on the Teamcity server? You can then have the solution upon build output all the correct files to a separate directory which then you could copy the entire contents of that directory where you need them
I'll post an example of my NAnt script that we use for this purpose shortly.
<property name="solution.directory" value="..\src" />
<property name="solution.file" value="\MySolution.sln" />
<property name="deploy.source" value="..\buildOutput"/>
<property name="project.config" value="debug" />
<target name="BuildSolution">
<echo message="Building ${solution.file}" />
<exec program="${framework::get-framework-directory(framework::get-target-framework())}\msbuild.exe"
commandline="${solution.directory}${solution.file} /t:Clean /p:Configuration=${project.config} /v:q"
workingdir="." />
<exec program="${framework::get-framework-directory(framework::get-target-framework())}\msbuild.exe"
commandline="${solution.directory}${solution.file}
/t:Rebuild
/p:OutDir=..\${deploy.source}\
/p:Configuration=${project.config}
/v:q"
workingdir="." />
</target>
