I'm new to Azure DevOps and trying to configure CI/CD pipelines. Here are the steps that I followed.

1. Created VM and setup IIS
2. Created pipeline on Azure devops with Github source code. Here is yml file.

azure-pipelines.yml

trigger:
- master

pool:
  vmImage: 'windows-latest'

variables:
  solution: '**/*.sln'
  buildPlatform: 'Any CPU'
  buildConfiguration: 'Release'

steps:
- task: NuGetToolInstaller@1

- task: NuGetCommand@2
  inputs:
    restoreSolution: '$(solution)'

- task: VSBuild@1
  inputs:
    solution: '$(solution)'
    msbuildArgs: '/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:WebPublishMethod=Package /p:PackageAsSingleFile=true /p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true /p:DesktopBuildPackageLocation="$(build.artifactStagingDirectory)\WebApp.zip" /p:DeployIisAppPath="Default Web Site"'
    platform: '$(buildPlatform)'
    configuration: '$(buildConfiguration)'

- task: VSTest@2
  inputs:
    platform: '$(buildPlatform)'
    configuration: '$(buildConfiguration)'

- task: CopyFiles@2
  inputs:
    contents: 'build/**'
    targetFolder: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'
    cleanTargetFolder: true

- task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1
  inputs:
    pathtoPublish: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'
    artifactName: 'drop'

3. Created and configure Deployment groups, and setup agent with auth token

Build and deployment works fine, but there are 2 problems

1. Build generates artifacts with zip file.

2. zip file has lot more inner folder where actual executable files are located.

CodePudding user response：

You could use

Using predefined variable to locate the .zip

$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)\**\*.zip

This task supports the .zip file extract.
