5 years ago Hello @neman ... Thanks for asking. When the engineers were discussing it (around this point in the convo) with the community on the engineering repo, they didn't open a docs issue at that time. So, let's ask now.
btw --- Just to recap for the environment ONLY: In the Web Deploy profile (pubxml), provide the following ...
<EnvironmentName>YourCustomEnvironment</EnvironmentName>... or to use an MSBuild property, use $(EnvironmentName) within the project file.
WRT env vars broadly via transforms ... @vijayrkn ...
Is vijayrkn/webconfigtransform officially supported for 2.2?
- If so, then I'll get this scheduled.
- If it isn't supported yet, @neman can use it unsupported, and we'll wait on documenting until you pull the trigger.
There's also a fair amount of ❤️ out there for nil4/dotnet-transform-xdt, and the features might not exactly match vijayrkn/webconfigtransform ... probably worth taking a look at if vijayrkn/webconfigtransform doesn't fit your scenario.
Going back to <EnvironmentName> and $(EnvironmentName), let's surface in the following locations where appropriate:
- Fundamentals: Environments (Set the environment: Windows section)
- VS Publish Profiles (Publish to an MSDeploy endpoint section)
- Host & Deploy: ANCM (Set env vars section)
I'll work that separately (on a new issue that I'll open) from the broader case that you're asking about if we end up using this issue to document vijayrkn/webconfigtransform.
Cross-ref:
vijayrkn
I'm publishing app using Web Deploy (VS Project right click -> publish -> web deploy publish profile) Can you please add instructions how to Set environment variables for web.config during web deploy?
