Question

I would like to create a simple ASP.NET Core Web Application (.NET Framework) and publish a WebJob alongside it to Azure.

Answer 1

I managed to get it works in all cases to publish VS 2017 csproj using VSTS or locally with these lines:

  
    
    $(PublishDir)\
  

  
    $([System.IO.Path]::GetFullPath('$(PublishDir)'))
  



  

It ensures:

• PublishDir has a trailing slash (could miss when using dotnet publish -o option).
• We are using the full path (unlike previous versions, using dotnet publish [project] now change the current directory, so with a relative path like the default /bin/[configuration]/[framework]/publish the WebJob would be published in its own bin folder instead of the Web project's one).
• We are using the same publish configuration (RuntimeIdentifier, TargetFramework, Configuration) than the Web project's one.

Hope that helps!
