Change configuration on azure website when using GIT to deploy

Question

How do I configure my website to use either test or release configuration when I'm deploying using GIT? I can configure the branch I want to use, but the the build configuration.

Answer 1

The best way to do this is to use a custom deployment script, as described in this post .

Once you do that, you have a lot more control over how your app is built. In this case, you can just tweak the msbuild command like it runs to use whatever configuration you want, much like you'd do if you ran msbuild on your local machine.

Answer 2

You can now add an app setting for this on the configure page instead of going to the trouble of a custom deploy script.

SCM_BUILD_ARGS -p:Configuration=[CONFIGURATION_VALUE]

eg

[KEY] SCM_BUILD_ARGS

[VALUE] -p:Configuration=QA
