Experiencing an issue whereby when my Gulp task runs the XMLTransform task, it's replacing the entire contents of Sitecore application web.config file instead of transforming elements.. Can't see why?
I have 2x web.config.transform files in different projects in my solution, both of which have the XML-Document-Transform namespace that have very little in them so far.. example of one is here:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

My gulpfile is pretty much the stock standard Helix one:
gulp.task("04-Apply-Xml-Transform", function () {
var layerPathFilters = ["./src/Foundation/**/*.transform", "./src/Feature/**/*.transform", "./src/Project/**/*.transform", "!./src/**/obj/**/*.transform", "!./src/**/bin/**/*.transform"];
return gulp.src(layerPathFilters)
.pipe(foreach(function (stream, file) {
var fileToTransform = file.path.replace(/.+code\\(.+)\.transform/, "$1");
util.log("Applying configuration transform: " + file.path);
return gulp.src("./scripts/applytransform.targets")
.pipe(msbuild({
targets: ["ApplyTransform"],
configuration: config.buildConfiguration,
logCommand: false,
verbosity: "normal",
stdout: true,
errorOnFail: true,
maxcpucount: 0,
toolsVersion: config.buildToolsVersion,
properties: {
Platform: config.buildPlatform,
WebConfigToTransform: config.websiteRoot,
TransformFile: file.path,
FileToTransform: fileToTransform
}
}));
}));
});
applytransform.targets file is also the stock helix one:
<Project ToolsVersion="14.0" DefaultTargets="ApplyTransform" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
<UsingTask TaskName="TransformXml" AssemblyFile="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath32)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Web\Microsoft.Web.Publishing.Tasks.dll" />
<Target Name="ApplyTransform">
<ItemGroup>
<Transform Include="$(TransformFile)" />
<ConfigsToTransform Include="$(FileToTransform)" Condition="Exists(@(Transform))">
<TransformPath>%(Transform.Identity)</TransformPath>
</ConfigsToTransform>
</ItemGroup>
<Message Text="@(ConfigsToTransform)"></Message>
<Message Text="@(Transform)"></Message>
<TransformXml Source="$(WebConfigToTransform)\%(ConfigsToTransform.Identity)"
Transform="%(ConfigsToTransform.TransformPath)"
Destination="$(WebConfigToTransform)\%(ConfigsToTransform.Identity)"
Condition="Exists(@(Transform))"/>
</Target>
</Project>
When I run the task the output all looks normal, however the resultant web.config file in my website root contains ONLY what is in the two transform files and I lose all the regular application configuration settings..
Anyone know what's up?
Turns out my issues were two-fold.
