VS 2013 Azure Publish hangs with last Pubxml file

Question

If I publish to Azure Cloud Service using the Cloud Project and follow the publish wizard from it works fine but only if I delete the last Pubxml file (stored in the profile folder) first.

If I try and publish when a Pubxml file already exists it will hang trying to navigate between wizard steps.

Using SDK V2.9.6, although had the same issue on previous versions.

I have multiple subscriptions, and the issue seems to be whilst the Pubxml does store the subscription, it is ignored and the default (first one in the list alphabetically) is used instead.

So if I run a publish where there was a previous Pubxml, it jumps to the Diagnostics page. I click next for the summary and the issue areas are highlighted with a red error indicator (it has the wrong subscription selected by default, and hence it cannot find the correct cloud service). However I cannot click back as it just hangs.

Answer 1

I'm using SDK V2.9.6, and didn't see this problem. Actually, my pubxml files have subscription information included.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="12.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <AzureCredentials>{"ServiceManagementEndpoint":"https:\/\/management.core.windows.net\/","ResourceManagementEndpoint":"https:\/\/management.azure.com\/","SubscriptionId":"my-subscription-id"}</AzureCredentials>
    ...
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

Which version of Azure SDK is your pubxml files generated from?
