Copying files after the msbuild do copy to the root folder $(build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)-CodePudding

I want to copy some of the files from the $(Build.SourcesDirectory) to the final package in azure deployment but after the msbuild it creates a name.zip folder and rest of the files are included outside of the zip. Is there a way to include files along with the zip folder. I want the files inside the zip folder the outside files

            platform: '$(buildPlatform)'
            configuration: '$(buildConfiguration)'

I want the files inside the zip folder the outside files

To meet your requirement, you can extract the zip file first and then copy the required files to the corresponding folder, and finally generate a new zip file.

You can use Extract files Task to extract the zip file and Archive files task to generate a new zip file.

Here is an example:

steps:

xxx

- task: ExtractFiles@1
  displayName: 'Extract files '
  inputs:
    archiveFilePatterns: '$(build.artifactStagingDirectory)/*.zip'
    destinationFolder: '$(build.artifactStagingDirectory)/test'

- task: CopyFiles@2
  displayName: 'Copy Files to: $(build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/test'
  inputs:
    SourceFolder: folder/folder1/
    TargetFolder: '$(build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/test'

- task: ArchiveFiles@2
  displayName: 'Archive $(build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/test'
  inputs:
    rootFolderOrFile: '$(build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/test'
