Setting debug=false in web.config as part of build

问题

Is it possible to instruct the aspnet_compiler to set debug=false in the web.config?

My intention is to automate this as part of the nant build process. I am open to suggestions other than xml parsing

回答1:

Have you thought about using <xmlpoke>?

<xmlpoke file="${Build.WebConfig}" 
    xpath="/configuration/system.web/compilation/@debug" 
    value="false">
</xmlpoke>

I would suggest using entirely different config files for each environment(prod, test, staging in our case). Depending on the build you would just use the required config, no mess, less fuss. Hanselmen has example on how to do this in Visual Studio and if you read the first comment Phil Hack has got it working with NAnt.

 <target name="configMerge">  
     <copy file="${sourcefile}"  
         tofile="${destinationfile}" overwrite="true">  
       <filterchain>  
         <expandproperties />  
       </filterchain>  
     </copy>  
   </target>

In Addition, if you are using VS 2010 you can now use web.config transforms

The way I tackle this is I have seperate configuration files for each deployment environment:

Production
Staging
Development

Upon the "build script", I copy the config files for the type I am building. For example, on Staging I would copy the /configs/staging/*.config into the root of the website. Then, my script would call aspnet_compiler to compile the application.
