I would like to know if someone can perform commenting out this section on appSettings using PowerShell. Sample code below: (just an example, not really my code)
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="TestDBEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/TestProject.csdl|res://*/TestProject.ssdl|res://*/TestProject.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="data source=SQL01;initial catalog=TestDB;integrated security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework"" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
</connectionStrings>
<appSettings>
<add key="SCVMMServerName" value="VMM01" />
<add key="SCVMMServerPort" value="8100" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>
I want to comment out this section:
<add key="SCVMMServerName" value="VMM01" />
resulting like this:
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="TestDBEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/TestProject.csdl|res://*/TestProject.ssdl|res://*/TestProject.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="data source=SQL01;initial catalog=TestDB;integrated security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework"" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
</connectionStrings>
<appSettings>
<!--<add key="SCVMMServerName" value="VMM01" />-->
<add key="SCVMMServerPort" value="8100" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>
Hope you guys (especially PowerShell nerds out there) can help me. Thanks a lot!
Try something like this:
$XmlDocument = [xml](Get-Content -Path "U:\test.xml")
$node = $XmlDocument.SelectNodes('//SomeNode') | Where-Object{$_.Key -eq "test2"}
$node.ParentNode.InnerXml = $node.ParentNode.InnerXml.Replace($node.OuterXml, $node.OuterXml.Insert(0, "<!--").Insert($node.OuterXml.Length+4, "-->"))
$XmlDocument.Save("U:\test.xml")
Pretty easy to do in V3 and above.
(Get-Content c:\test.txt).replace('[Add value here]', 'New value') | Set-Content c:\test.txt
Hope that helps!

I am trying to transform a .config file from an XML transform file in a release stage. I am using the standard File Transform task. I added a transform.xml file (which isnt linked to a legitimate release) to my artifact and can see it. When i try and use it I get the following System.Debug output:
2020-05-01T17:25:21.6011428Z Processing substitution for xml node : connectionStrings
2020-05-01T17:25:21.6022113Z ##[debug]Provided node is empty or a comment.
2020-05-01T17:25:21.6025339Z ##[debug]Provided node is empty or a comment.

2020-05-01T17:25:21.6028615Z Skipped Updating file: xxxxxxxx.config
The contents of the transform.xml file are as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<connectionStrings xdt:Transform="Replace">
<add name="XX" connectionString="user id=XXX;password=XXXXX;data source=XXXXXXXX"/>
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
Azure Devops release - File Transform - Provided node is empty or a comment
I could not reproduce this issue with following configuration file and your transform file:
Configuration file web.config (code sample from XML transformation example):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection"
connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\\MSDB;DbFilename=aspcore-local.mdf;" />
</connectionStrings>
<appSettings>
<add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" />
<add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
</appSettings>
<system.web>
<authentication mode="None" />
<compilation targetFramework="4.5" debug="true" />
</system.web>
</configuration>
Then create a Web.test.config with your contents of the transform file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<connectionStrings xdt:Transform="Replace">
<add name="XX" connectionString="user id=XXX;password=XXXXX;data source=XXXXXXXX"/>
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
Note:
XML transformation will be run on the *.config file for transformation configuration files named *.Release.config or *.<stage>.config. So, we could not use the transform.xml instead of *.<stage>.config.
As the test result, the connectionStrings string in the web.config was replaced:
Please check the document File transforms and variable substitution reference for some more details.
Hope this helps.
I am currently using Azure Devops with an local build agent to deploy a windows service to an internal server and am looking for information on how to transform my MyApp.Exe.config file using the variables defined in my release task.
With web applications, this seems fairly straightforward. I have a parameters.xml file that is used in conjunction with the SetParameters File in my IIS Web Deploy task. This pulls the variables from the release task and updates the web.config accordingly.
However, I can't find a definitive answer on how to do this with a config file for an executable. This document suggests that it should be possible, but looks like I'd need to provide a transform file with the variables already set.
In summary, what I am looking to do is use a Parameters.xml file to transform the config file of an executable using my release variables. How can this be accomplished?
It's unclear in your question which values you're trying to replace in your target file, so it might be important to note:
". . . Variable substitution takes effect only on the applicationSettings, appSettings, connectionStrings, and configSections elements of configuration files. If you are looking to substitute values outside of these elements you can use a (parameters.xml) file, however you will need to use a 3rd party pipeline task to handle the variable substitution. . . ."
If you can't find a 3rd party task
Of course the Document doesn't point us to any favored 3rd party task. So if you can't find a task that operates directly on the parameters.xml file, then you can use the File Transform task to add/replace values in your .config with tokens, and then use the Replace Tokens task to insert your variable values.
Example:
In my sandbox I can replace the xml values in the specified sections in the quoted text above by simply adding the appropriate variable in my pipeline.
Given this is my config file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSection>
<section name="entityFramework" />
</configSection>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection"
connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\LocalDB;FileName=Local.mdf" />
</connectionStrings>
<appSettings>
<add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
<add key="UnobstructiveJavascriptEnabled" value="true" />
<add key="AdminUserName" value="__AdminUserName__" />
<!-- Change AdminPassword in this line: -->
<add key="AdminPassword" value="__AdminPassword__" />
</appSettings>

<!-- change this value -->
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1073741824" />
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
And GIVEN these variables in yaml:
variables:
solution: '**/*.sln'
buildPlatform: 'Any CPU'
buildConfiguration: 'Release'
AdminPassword: 'fake password'
maxAllowedContentLength: '25'
And GIVEN this is the yaml task:
- task: FileTransform#1
inputs:
folderPath: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/src'
enableXmlTransform: false
fileType: 'xml'
targetFiles: '*.config'
The result is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<configSection>
<section name="entityFramework"/>
</configSection>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\LocalDB;FileName=Local.mdf"/>

</entityFramework>
<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1073741824"/>
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>
Notice the un-substituted value!!
As stated in the documentation, the value I wanted to change <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="1073741824"/> is unchanged b/c it is not defined by a configSection and is not part of the predefined nodes.
Using the 3rd party to substitute outside the defaults
Take the same config file but change the yaml task to include a transformation to the following transform.config
Given the same config file
transform.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- For more information on using web.config transformation visit https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=125889 -->
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<system.webServer>
<security>
<requestFiltering>
<!-- change this value -->
<requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="${maxAllowedContentLength}$" xdt:Transform="Replace" />
</requestFiltering>
</security>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
New task settings
- task: FileTransform#1
inputs:
folderPath: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/src'
enableXmlTransform: true
xmlTransformationRules: '-transform transform.config -xml app.config'
fileType: 'xml'
targetFiles: '*.config'
- task: replacetokens#3
inputs:

targetFiles: 'app.config'
encoding: 'auto'
writeBOM: false

I'm following the answer at the bottom of this question here: ASP.NET 5 web application as Azure Web Role? as I am trying to build an azure web role for asp.net core.
When I run the powershell script I get the error:
Error CloudServices077: Need to specify the physical directory for the virtual path 'Web/' of role
If anyone knows another way to use azure web roles in asp.net core then I am all for that too.
I'm using CSPack to try and configure this.
Powershell Script:
# path to cspack
$cspackPath = Join-Path $env:ProgramFiles 'Microsoft SDKs\Azure\.NET SDK\v2.8\bin\cspack.exe'
$PackagePath = 'I:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\SoundVast\SoundVast.Azure\SoundVast.cspkg'
$serviceDefinitionFile = 'I:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\SoundVast\SoundVast.Azure\ServiceDefinition.csdef'
$webRoleName = 'WebRole1'
$webRolePath = 'I:\Users\MyUserName\Documents\visual studio 2015\Projects\SoundVast\SoundVast.Azure'
# define the cspack parameters
$cspackParameter = #(
$serviceDefinitionFile,
"/role:$webRoleName;$webRolePath;",
"/sites:$webRoleName;SoundVast;$webRolePath",
"/out:$PackagePath"
)
# execute cspack
& $cspackPath #cspackParameter

</ServiceConfiguration>
Folder structure (if it makes a difference...)
I was missing the phsycial directory on this line: <Site name="Web" physicalDirectory="../SoundVast">. After this I ran the script and it created a package for me. The documentation on this is really not good.

I encountered this issue and resolved it by deleting the web role from my cloud service (it was an MVC) and generating a new one. I had made so many modifications it had become messy, so making a new one from scratch solved the issue
I am trying to attach a log file to email.
My code is:
**<loadtasks assembly=".../tasks.dll" />
<record name="c:foo\log.txt" action="Start" />
<target name="email">
<mail
from="abc#foo.com"
tolist="xyz#foo.com"
subject="Build"
message="Build Failed"
mailhost="smtp.anywhere.net">
<files>
<include name="c:foo\log.txt" />
</files>
<attachment>
<include name="c:foo\log.txt" />
</attachment>
</mail>
</target>
<record name="c:foo\log.txt" action="Close" />**
My command is:
nant -f:filename.build email -l:c:foo\log.txt
I get following error:

When i dont use <record> tasks it gives another error like, could not attach txt file. bcoz it being used by another process.
Why am I getting this error?
i do something like flush in record task , just before sending email then copy the file to attach in email , hope this workaround works
<echo>${emailsubject}</echo>
<echo>Sending Email</echo>
<echo>Attaching File : ${build.log.dir}/email_${build.log.filename}</echo>
<echo>Attaching File : ${path.vsshelper.log}/logs/email_${build.log.getlistoffiles}</echo>
<record name="${build.log.dir}/${build.log.filename}" action="Flush" level="Verbose"/>
<sleep milliseconds="5000" />
<copy file= "${build.log.dir}/${build.log.filename}" tofile="${build.log.dir}/email_${build.log.filename}" />
<copy file= "${path.vsshelper.log}/logs/${build.log.getlistoffiles}" tofile="${path.vsshelper.log}/logs/email_${build.log.getlistoffiles}" />
Make sure that the file is closed before you try to email it.
I have a .Net console application which has an App.Config / MyApplicationConsole.exe.config file. This one contains settings set via the properties manager of VS, basically looking something like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="applicationSettings" type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
<section name="My.Applications.Namespace.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<applicationSettings>
<My.Applications.Namespace.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="SettingsKeyABC" serializeAs="String">
<value>SomeOtherValue</value>
</setting>
<setting name="SettingsKeyXYZ" serializeAs="String">
<value>True</value>
</setting>
</Siemens.Med.CTE.PMP.Applications.JobExecutor.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>
<system.diagnostics>
<trace>
<listeners>
<add name="Gibraltar" type="Gibraltar.Agent.LogListener, Gibraltar.Agent" />
</listeners>
</trace>
</system.diagnostics>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0" />
</startup>
</configuration>
Now what I want/need to do is modify the ("True") value for the "SettingsKeyXYZ" setting, preferably via powershell (as my colleague set up). Does anyone know how to do this? All I found were sample for Web.Configs which seem a tad different than the ones created by VS.
First, The xml text is not valid. Where's the closing tag of line 10 tag (My.Applications.Namespace.Properties.Settings). I changed line 10 to match the closing tag.
Load the file (as xml), you must put the 'My.Applications.Namespace.Properties.Settings' tag in quotes otherwise powershell will try to parse each value between the dots as a tag), update the value to False and then save the file.
[xml]$xml = Get-Content c:\App.Config
$xml.configuration.applicationSettings.'My.Applications.Namespace.Properties.Settings'.setting.value='False'
$xml.Save('c:\App.Config')
