I am working on an Azure Pipeline that builds (npm) a React App sitting on Azure Repo. The build produces some .js,.svg and .css files in build > static folder.
I need to copy these files to PowerApp > Portal Management > Web Files:
I need assistance / pointers on:
• Picking up only the .js, .css and .svg files from the build folder.
• Copying these to PowerApp, I read about the Power Platform Build Tools but need specific task which allows us to pick up files from Build DIR and copy to PowerApp.
I am using windows-latest hoested agent.
UPDATE: I am able to copy selected build files to $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory), need suggestion regarding copying these files from here to PowerApp.
Thanks.
Sudipta.

I have created the default play application in IntelliJ in directory P. I have over-written the default index.scala.html with my own html code. The html code refers to some css and js files which are outside the directory P. To include these external files, I added the directory of these files using project configuration settings.
My webpage doesn't load properly as the server returns 404 for the css and js files. What am I doing wrong?
When you added your directory using project structure, you only say:
Hey, IDEA, please consider this folder part of my project, consider
its contents source code and display it when I open my project.
However, when you deploy or run your app, you only deploy the usual folders to the server, which contain the resources which will be available for clients to access.
The external directory is not part of these directories and will not be deployed.
What you can do is to copy the file from the external directory as a part of your build process before deploying the application.
EDIT: Detailed answer here: What is intellij's build process for play applications
I have an asp.net web api project whose output needs to be packaged in a setup project using wix.
I would like to precompile the site. The problem is that the precompilation process generates variable file names (ie. *.compiled files in particular).
I also would like to build the setup in a TFS build.
It seems that my only option is to generate a .wxs file wihtin the prebuild step of the wix project.
The .wxs files source paths are using $(var._My_Web_Project_.TargetDir). This seems to be translated to a Sources based directory.
I'm using paraffin to do that already and it works perfectly fine when building the solution with visual studio.
When building the solution through a TFS build, the .compiled files are copied to a Binaries folder, whereas all the other related web site files are copied to a Sources based directory.
The build errors are like the following :
The system cannot find the file 'd:\BuildAgents\___basedir___\Binaries\___web_project_dir\_PublishedWebSites\___site___\bin\textsample.cshtml.c6fb271c.compiled'.
The file is indeed in the Sources directory.
'd:\BuildAgents\___basedir___\Sources\___web_project_dir\_PublishedWebSites\___site___\bin\textsample.cshtml.c6fb271c.compiled'
I think I somehow need to redefine the aspnet_compiler output or something like this, but can't figure out how to do that.
The msbuild command line arguments are the follwing:
/p:GenerateProjectSpecificOutputFolder=true /p:VisualStudioVersion=14.0 /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=local /p:CleanWebProjectOutputDir=False /verbosity:d
EDIT 1: I'm using XAML build.
Any help appreciated.
EDIT 2:
With the new task based build, it works as is (no need to use an additional Copy Files task).
The aspnet_compiler output the .compiled files in the correct folder :
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_compiler.exe -v / -p D:\BuildAgents\vNext\_work\1\s\Softs\__Solution__\__Web_Project\obj\Release\AspnetCompileMerge\Source -c D:\BuildAgents\vNext\_work\1\s\Softs\__Solution__\__Web_Project__\obj\Release\AspnetCompileMerge\TempBuildDir
In the new tasks based build system, it's easy to copy files from a source folder to a target folder with Copy Files task.
Source Folder: Folder that contains the files you want to copy.
Contents: Specify minimatch pattern filters (one on each line) that you want to apply to the list of files to be copied.
Target Folder: Folder where the files will be copied. In most cases you specify this folder using a variable.
I have done all mandatory / required steps to run the project in 'dist' mode,though it is running perfectly,i can't access the files which i've uploaded in the same.
i can see the uploaded files,in 'my_project\bin\public' folder but not able to download it.
being newbie in play framework i would like to facilitate the users who have uploaded their files in the system to download the same.
I am in the process of creating an application to allow the automation of application deployments, (https://github.com/twistedtwig/AutomdatedDeployments#readme).
The idea being that everything is in source control, application files, application configuration as well as IIS configuration. My application allows the solution to auto deploy, (adding a post build setp to the sln / proj file), after a build to the dev machine. It will allow the CI server to auto deploy to its machine for testing as well as the CI Server pushing successful builds to QA / Test / production servers. One of the issues I have with msdeploy is the requirement of IIS to be setup with the website / application before hand, (which my app is trying to get around).
So far I can create, update and remove, app pools, websites and applications via config files automatically. I can sync files and folders fine. The last step was to use the /target:package switch in msbuild to create clean file structures for web deployments. For example I would run a command like:
msbuild.exe myMvcSite.csproj /target:clean /target:package /p:Configuration=Release /p:_PackageTempDir=C:\websites\mySite /p:PackageLocation=C:\dropLocation\mySite.zip
This creates a nice zip file with the internal file path of "C_C\wbesites\mySite" ready (as I understand it) to be sync'd to the production server.
My issue is how I deploy this zip file. I want it to be independent of any IIS information, i.e. I am simply pushing the files / folders to a location, (either on the local machine for developers, or remote for testing etc). The setup of IIS with app pools and sites etc would be taken care of separately. Some of the commands (and their output) I have tried are below:
"C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy v2\msdeploy.exe" -verb:sync -source:package="C:\Temp\deploy\installer\test\testPackage.zip" -dest:auto
Info: Adding sitemanifest (sitemanifest).
Error: The application pool that you are trying to use has the 'managedRuntimeVersion' property set to 'v2.0'. This application requires 'v4.0'.
Error count: 1.
and
"C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy v2\msdeploy.exe" -verb:sync -source:package="C:\website\installer\testPackage.zip" -dest:contentpath=C:\temp\mytest
Error: Source (sitemanifest) and destination (contentPath) are not compatible for the given operation.
Error count: 1.
The first command I am trying to let it unpack the files with the structure it has. It seems to be upset about app pool stuff though, (which I don't want it to touch).
The second I am trying to get around the "auto" bit but this isn't happy either.
I am struggling to find much information about this process.
The only way I can see how I might achieve this at the moment is to not use msdeploy for it, but to create my own task to integrate the file structure and do the file syncing my self, (not ideal).
I ended up coding around this issue, rather than being able to solve it.
I take the zip package:
unzip in a temp location
find the final path it will be going to (normally from archive.xml)
check to see if I am merging the folders or doing a clean install, (i.e. do I delete the destination folder first).
copy / push files to end location, (normally with msdeploy).
I open sourced my solution to this: https://github.com/twistedtwig/AutomatedDeployments
Is there a way I can publish *.ascx files without adding them to my project?
I am trying to make my user controls in Visual Studio 2010 reusable. I have a project containing my user controls called ControlsLibrary solution directory. I copy the ascx files to the web directory upon building the project with build events.
I use the command copy "$(SolutionDir)ControlLibrary\*.ascx" "$(ProjectDir)controls\"
This copies the *.ascx files from G:/SolutionDirectory/ControlsLibrary to C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/WebProject/controls
Now when I publish WebProject, the publish does not copy the *.ascx files from C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/WebProject/controls to my website. This is because they are not added to my project.
Is there a way I can publish *.ascx files without adding them to my project?
I know there is a way to publish all files by selecting the option "All files in this project." That includes more files than I want.
Have you considered using the Virtual Path Provider approach? Here's a good article on it: Load Web Forms and User Controls from Embedded Resources.
