2010 WebDeployment after build don't execute

[Chuck]

I converted a solution from 08 to 10.

All my after build tasks don't run. This is the first one.
<Target Name="AfterBuild">
<RemoveDir Directories="$(OutputPath)/ConfigFiles" />
</Target>

I don't get errors or anything

This is what the Output screen shows:
Running aspnet_merge.exe.
aspnet_merge : warning 1013: Cannot find any assemblies that can be merged
in the application bin folder.
Successfully merged 'obj\Test\TempBuildDir'.

Hi Chuck,

After some effort on your issue, we do not find anything cause it.

What we did:

1. Use VS 2008 SP1 create a C# web application

2. Add follow lines in project file:

<target Name="AfterBuild">

<MakeDir Directories="$(OutputPath)/ConfigFiles" />

</target>

3. Save the project file.

4. open the project by VS2010 RTM

5. Convert into .Net Framework 4.0(optional)

6. build the project.

7. there is a \bin\ConfigFiles

Looks like I had two AfterBuild tasks defined in xml.
One of the conditions had been removed.
I guess if you have two only the last one runs.
I moved the actual work from both into one and then it ran.

Little more investigating. If I try to limit the Exec task to only test
build conditions. Nothing works.

this works
<Target Name="AfterBuild" >
<RemoveDir Directories="$(OutputPath)/ConfigFiles" />
<Exec WorkingDirectory="$(OutputPath)"
Command="$(Registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\2.0@MSBuildToolsPath)aspnet_regiis.exe
-pef connectionStrings $(OutputPath) -prov HrCustomProvider" />

</Target>



This does not


<Target Name="AfterBuild" >
<RemoveDir Directories="$(OutputPath)/ConfigFiles" />
</Target>


<Target Name="AfterBuild" Condition="'$(Configuration)|$(Platform)' ==
'Test|AnyCPU'">
<Exec WorkingDirectory="$(OutputPath)"
Command="$(Registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSBuild\ToolsVersions\2.0@MSBuildToolsPath)aspnet_regiis.exe
-pef connectionStrings $(OutputPath) -prov HrCustomProvider" />
</Target>

Hi Chuck,

So the build event still only run one of the <target Name="AfterBuild" >
but ignore the others? What if you only put a single <target > which set
the Condition to "Test" build(and put all the commands in that <target>)?
