msbuild - How to get jspm/webpack/browserify/requirejs bundling working with msdeploy? -

i use jspm same issue applies other build-time bundling tool. can't figure out how these play msdeploy.

here's issue:

• i run jspm produce 1 or more bundle files (one each "chain" want).
• my application uses system.import (or require or script tag) start these loading.

if deploy directory , xcopy there deployment server copacetic. however, our devops team prefers deploy using msdeploy. i'm supposed point @ csproj. if how msdeploy know deploy generated bundles?

you have create msbuild project accomplish - 1 hooks msdeploy pipeline. i've provided sample (one i'm using project) below; i'm going release nuget package (along other msbuild scripts written take advantage of npm, jspm, , gulp).

the props file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <project toolsversion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">     <propertygroup>         <copyallfilestosinglefolderforpackagedependson>             frontenddeploymentfiles;             $(copyallfilestosinglefolderforpackagedependson);         </copyallfilestosinglefolderforpackagedependson>     </propertygroup> </project> 

the targets file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <project toolsversion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">     <target name="frontenddeploymentfiles">         <itemgroup>             <_customfiles include="dist\**\*" />             <_customfiles include="jspm_packages\**\*" />              <filesforpackagingfromproject include="%(_customfiles.identity)">                 <destinationrelativepath>%(relativedir)%(filename)%(extension)</destinationrelativepath>             </filesforpackagingfromproject>         </itemgroup>     </target> </project> 

this isn't drop-in you're bundling files, takeaway here can define glob pattern copy methods. replace jspm_packages whatever bundles (as scripts i've provided publishing development environment) , should good.

hope helpful else runs issue.
