TokenReplace on Web.Config about cols-agent-tasks HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @perp1exed - I've not tried replacing tokens on a UNC path. I'd suggest that you copy the file to the build agent (use File copy task), do the replacement and then copy it to the target machine.

from cols-agent-tasks.

The UNC path is pointing to the folder on the build agent (which is the tfs
server).

I am using the TokenReplace task in the Release definition. Is it safe to
say that it is running on the build agent? In which case specifying the
local directory path should work?

Cheers,

Ks

The build runs on the machine that the build agent is installed on - so if you can access that folder via a regular path (like c:\builddrops...\web.config) then that should work!

So the pre-defined variables do not work right?

For example, $(Build.StagingDirectory)\drop does not work.

I am trying to avoid having to explicitly set the source folder.

Thanks,

I found a similar issue. It seems that if you point the task directly at a file it will not work but if you point the task at the folder which contains the file and then specify "*.config" (or whatever the file type is) the task will complete.

Hi @perp1exed - I'm still not following your problem clearly. Can you send a screenshot of your task config so that I can see how you're configuring it?
