Next.js Include template files in server build - server

How do I tell Next.js to include a set of files or a whole directory in the server build?
In my case, I would like to dynamically import email templates, depending on which one is required. If the /mail/ folder were copied alongside my /pages/ folder, the following path would work: path.resolve(__dirname, "../mails", template + ".ejs")
Unfortunately (yet logically), this does not work. How do I copy my entire folder (sort of like an asset) without needing to directly reference (import "mails/*.ejs") every file I would like to copy?

Deliver temporary build-time assets with nuget

What is the proper way of delivering temporary build-time assets using nuget?
I am making a nuget package with a single file, which dependent projects require during the build phase. I would like the content of the file to be copied to obj\$(Configuration) folder inside a dependent project before proceeding with the rest of the build. Of course, the obj folder is temporary, so I would like my file to be copied there again as part of the next build if obj gets cleared out.
I tried contentFiles approach described here. This takes care of packaging my file inside nupkg file, but I was unable to set it up so that my file gets delivered (and re-delivered) to obj\$(Configuration).
You're looking for NuGet's MSBuild extensibility. Unfortunately it means you'll need to learn a bit about MSBuild if you don't already know it. I recommend running msbuild -bl or dotnet build -bl, which will create a msbuild.binlog file, which you can view with the msbuild structured log viewer.
One option is to have a target that creates the file in the intermediate output directory at an appropriate time (probably need to use BeforeTargets). You could use the Inputs and Outputs attributes to have msbuild do incremental build checks and skip copying when it doesn't need to, possibly making the build a little faster.
However, unless the file is has dynmanic content, copying the file is a waste. it's just going to be included as an item in another part of the build process. So, if it's static content, you could just create the relevant item in your targets file from your package's extracted directory, and then it's just as good as if it was copied to the intermediate output directory, without wasted time and duplicated disk space.

Octopus Package Application Step in TFS Build not picking up files in sub folders

Hi I am using Octopus Deploy Package Application step to package up my website
I specified the Source Path, Output path etc just fine.
If I do not specify the Include files it brings back everything in the folder structure as the package. But I only want to Package certain things like the CSS, views, dll's etc
If i Specify an include form a sub folderlike /bin/.dll it does not bring the files through, even though this is the exact example they give on the more info icon. but if i specify something in the root like .png which is not in a subfolder it works fine.
Anyone faced this issue. Please see image below to see the step setup
Use the path below, you'll get all dlls in bin folders:
**/bin/*.dll

Aurelia exported bundle causes a 404 from SystemJS if a source module was in a subdirectory

I'm learning Aurelia via the TypeScript / ASP.NET Core skeleton navigation app. Everything runs fine in its default state. To test the exported production bundle, I run the Gulp Export task, then publish the app via Visual Studio project publish to a local folder, then replace the published wwwroot folder with the wwwroot folder from within the "export" folder, then use dotnet from the command line to run the app.
Things break if I have any source modules in a subdirectory. For example, I moved the welcome.ts/html component files into "/src/Pages" and adjusted its route moduleId in app.ts accordingly to "./pages/welcome". The unbundled app then still runs up fine, but when I try the exported version, I get a request being made by SystemJS to http://localhost:5000/dist/pages/welcome.js which 404s (as you'd expect).
I can see the contents of the welcome component in the app-build.js file, and the config.js file within the export folder contains the expected file paths, i.e. it has "Pages/welcome...".
I have read this seemingly similar issue:
https://github.com/aurelia/bundler/issues/131
But setting depCache to false made no difference in my case. Why is SystemJS trying to load this module separately from outside of the bundle?
I was able to reproduce this error locally.
Presuming that you have a Windows environment, it will be a case-sensitivity issue.
After renaming [P]ages folder to [p]ages, bundled version works as expected.
On the filesystem there is a [P]ages/welcome.js viewmodel, but [p]ages/welcome has been defined as moduleId.
Unbundled mode: Windows filesystem is case-insensitive, which behaviour can be misleading by loading [P]ages/welcome.js correctly.
Bundled mode:
Based on file path, bundling process embeds[P]ages/welcome.js as [P]ages/welcome module.
But, according to the route config, SystemJS will be looking for [p]ages/welcome module within app-build.js.
My recommendation would be to use lowercase folder/filenames whenever it's possible.

TDS File Replacement

I want to deploy some front end assets to the local web root of a site using file replacement. I can't seem to get it to work with a relative path in the target location field though. Is it possible to do this though tds or should I use a post build event instead?
The reason these assets aren't included in a project is that they are part of a third party solution but we still want this tracked in source control to try to make the project setup easier.
Most developer machines will be set up the same way for this project with the same file structure but I think it's a little more flexible if I can make the target a relative path so I don't need to worry about differences like drive letters and such.
The folder structure is as follows:
repo
folderToCopy
sitecore
webroot
I have tried the following using ..'s based on what tds changed my source location to be while using the "Make selected Source Location relative" option (changed it from an absolute path to ..\folderToCopy\):
../../Sitecore/Website
/../../Sitecore/Website
..\..\Sitecore\Website
\..\..\Sitecore\Website
From my understanding, TDS does the file replacement based on the files published from the associated Website project.
You can then have relative replacements such as the following:
<Replacement Include=".\assets\folderToCopy\myFile.txt">
<TargetPath>.\assets\targetFolder\myFile.txt</TargetPath>
<IsFolder>False</IsFolder>
<IsRelative>True</IsRelative>
</Replacement>
I have not been able to successfully get TDS to use the file replacement with files that are in source control but not in the project.
My suggestion would be to set up a build event that will copy these files to the correct location, or to create a nuget feed for them and pull them in as nuget references.

Configuration and content management with automated deployment tools for ZF based app

I am trying to automate deployments of a particular project and a bit lost as to who to handle config file as well as user assets.
(Application is based on Zend Framework based btw).
Main application folder is structured as follows:
./app
./config.ini <----- config file
./modules
./controllers
./models
./views
./libs
./public
That config file is where all the configs are stored.
So 'app' folder contains whole bunch of code in PHP and 'public' contains whole bunch of code in JavaScript, HTML/CSS and stuff like that(web accessible basically).
If I follow Capistrano's model, where each package is expanded into it's own folder that is then symlinked to, how do I handle that config.ini file?
What about all the user content that is uploaded into ./public folder?
Thanks!
The Capistrano approach to this is to have a structure like this on your remote server:
releases/
20100901172311/
20101001101232/
[...]
current/ (symlink to current release)
shared/
in the shared directory you include your config file and any user generated content (e.g. shared/files). Then on each deployment, once you've checked out the code you automatically create symlinks from the checkout into your relevant shared directories. E.g.:
releases/20101001101232/public/files -> shared/files
releases/20101001101232/application/configs/config.ini -> shared/config.ini
that way, when a user uploads a file to public/files it is actually being stored in shared/files.
