Publish VS2010 Solution to ISS(local) using Jenkins MSBuild Plugin command line

Question

Jenkins successfully build my job using MSBuild plugin(framework 4.0) with this Command Line Arguments

/p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform="Any CPU" /p:PackageTempDir=C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Example_Jenkins

The problem is that the solution isn't published in the given directory(C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\Example_Jenkins) it only goes in the jenkins workspace folder. I even tried changing the command line arguments to commands like in web publish still files are not being deployed in the given folder.

Answer 1

You doing it not in the correct way. The correct way is described, for example, here: http://www.digitallycreated.net/Blog/59/locally-publishing-a-vs2010-asp.net-web-application-using-msbuild

msbuild Website.csproj "/p:Platform=AnyCPU;Configuration=Debug;PublishDestination=C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Example_Jenkins" /t:PublishToFileSystem

PS I don't think it's so much jenkins related :)
