how to copy only "_Publishedwebsites" to DropFolder?

Question

Hi Everybody,

I Have 9 solutions with more than 200 .csproj. 1 WebProject in each .SLN.

After the sucessful build, the TFS creates one DLL for each csproj + _publishedwebsites folder.

 I wanna on my drop folder only the Output from my websites, not from my 200 .csproj.

I´m using VSTS 2010 + TFS Build 2010.

How can i get this?

Thanks

You need to add “invoke process” activity to copy the files you like in the build process template. There are some threads in this forum. It is easy to find them.

Hi Rafael,

Are you using single build definition to build all your 9 solutions?

If yes then I would suggest you to create separate build definition for all your solutions if they are not dependent.

Also, TFS build drops all the output dlls in Binaries folder and output of web applications inside _PublishedWebSites directory. 

You have two options:

1. Copy/refer output of your web application from _PublishedWebSites folder

or

2. Customize your build template which will result the way you want to see it.

Hope  this helps.
