World\'s simplest task (see below) is not being executed after I publish my web application project. Any idea why?

Answer 1

Visual Studio 2013. Publish Web application to file system.

Note: Make sure that build logging is set to at least to Detailed. Look for it under Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutinos -> Build and Run -> MSBuild output verbosity. Diagnostic is also fine if you want to investigate which build target was last run before actual publish.
