How to publish binaries TFS 2017

Whenever i do the publish its having the CS and Solution files as well.

I tried too many things but all in vain enter image description here

These are my MS build arguments /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:WebPublishMethod=Package /p:PackageAsSingleFile=true /p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true /p:PackageLocation="$(build.artifactstagingdirectory)\CC

Solution

  • You're specifying a package location in your MSBuild arguments: /p:PackageLocation="$(build.artifactstagingdirectory)\CC. That's the path you want to publish as an artifact if all you want is the packaged binaries.

    The path you're currently specifying, $(agent.builddirectory)\s\Main\State is the location used by the build agent to synchronize source code, so of course you're capturing source code when you publish that as an artifact.
