The item MY_ARTIFACT_NAME in container XXX could not be found

问题

When attempting to configure MS Release Manager based on the tutorial Deploying your applications to Azure, modified per Error when using Publish Build Artifacts on the host agent, I receive the following exception:

The item MY_ARTIFACT_NAME in container 56811 could not be found.

which results in the release being rejected.

I have added the system.debug variable and set it to true,(see Publish build artifacts - I'm having problems) but no additional information is provided.

My Visual Studio Build completes successfully and is configured like so:

MSBuild Arguments:

/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:WebPublishMethod=Package /p:PackageAsSingleFile=true /p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true /p:PackageLocation="$(build.stagingDirectory)"

Platform: $(BuildPlatform)

Configuration: $(BuildConfiguration)

Copy and Publish Build Artifacts

Contents: *.*

Artifact Name: MY_ARTIFACT_NAME

Artifact Type: Server

My Azure Web App Deployment is configured like so:

Web Deploy Package: $(Agent.BuildDirectory)\**\*.zip

回答1:

The "Copy and Publish Build Artifacts" task isn't copying anything to artifact folder with your configuration, you need to configure it as following:

Copy Root: $(build.stagingDirectory)
Contents: **\*.zip
Artifact Name: MY_ARTIFACT_NAME
Artifact Type: Server

And in your release definition, "$(Agent.BuildDirectory)" does not work either. You need to use the $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)\**\*.zip by default.
