How to generate deployment files Azure DevOps - TFVC

Question

I have hosted ASP.NET Core and .NET Windows application to DevOps Services - TFVC (Cloud)

Now, I am stuck with how to generate deployment files, like debug folder of .NET Windows app or cloud hosting files of ASP.NET Core.

I have created a pipeline to generate deployment files, but how can I execute from the local machine so that developer can get the necessary files to host or install?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Since you have created a pipeline to generate deployment files, you could add a archive task and a Publish build artifacts task to publish the target files.

Archive files: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/archive-files?view=azure-devops

Publish build artifacts: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/utility/publish-build-artifacts?view=azure-devops

So the developers could download the .zip files from the pipeline summary page to host and use.
