Simple Release script for Visual Studio / Простой релиз скрипт для Visual Studio

[finesoul]

I needed an easy way to get all web applications in the solution to get precompiled and put into some specific folder along with some console applications when i compile solution in the Release mode. That way I could just zip the whole _Deploy folder and it's ready and easy to continue deploy onto test/production environment. The task was implemented using single batch file (*.bat or *.cmd) file.

For each project needed to appear in the _Deploy.zip we just add a Post-Build event with following command line

call "$(ProjectDir)..\ExternalDlls\RunBeforeDeploy.cmd" "$(ProjectDir)" $(ConfigurationName) $(ProjectName)

The essence of the solution is command line script RunBeforeDeploy.cmd. Here is how it looks.


rem Making files for deploy ...
echo on
cls
IF NOT %2 == Release GOTO end

set prjDir=%1
set prjDir=%prjDir:"=%
set dstDir=%prjDir%..\ExternalDlls\_Deploy\%3\
echo.%prjDir%
echo.%dstDir%

if not exist "%dstDir%" mkdir "%dstDir%"

if "a.%prjDir%" == "a" goto end

del "%dstDir%*.*" /F /Q /S

dir "%dstDir%*." /b > C:\deleteme_%3.txt
rem for /f %%a in (C:\deleteme_%3.txt) do (
FOR /D %%a in ("%dstDir%*") do (
rmdir /S /Q "%%a\"
)
del C:\deleteme_%3.txt


if exist "%prjDir%\web.config" (
"C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_compiler.exe" -p " %prjDir% " -v / " %dstDir% "
copy /Y "%prjDir%\web.config" "%dstDir%\web.config"
) ELSE (
rem copy /Y "%prjDir%\bin\Release\*" "%dstDir%\*"
xcopy /s/e "%prjDir%\bin\Release" "%dstDir%*"
)


echo Files for deploy are ready in "%dstDir%"!
:end
