vault web deploy?

insightexpress · Post by **insightexpress** » Mon Jun 25, 2007 1:45 pm

We are currently in the process of migrating from vss to vault. The only way we can figure out to get the files on the webservers is using shadow folders. In vss we are able to control what gets pushed by using web deploy. is there any feature or way to this using vault?

Vault does not have a web deploy feature. We do have it logged as a feature request for a future release, and I'll add your "vote."

You can populate a web directory with either shadow folders on the LAN, or by using a Vault command line client on a remote machine to periodically update files.

I would also really like "Deploy" added! We were using VSS for our source control, writing web applications, for almost two years. That is until I found Vault, and now we are using Vault exclusively. It is much better than VSS (for web apps especially) in every way, the only thing Vault doesn't have that I'd like is "Deploy". However, I'd really like it to be an improvement over what VSS had. VSS's Deploy was buggy as hell, most the time we could only deploy a single file, then we would have to close VSS, reopen it, and then do another single file, and so on, and so on.

lbauer - please "add my vote" for "Web Deploy" as a feature request.

Thanks for such a great app guys, you guys RULE!!!

Any update to the Web Deploy feature timeline?

We purchased Vault licenses with the assumption that this feature would be included in v4.0. I can't stress enough how much this features finalizes our full usage of Vault.

Please advise on the updated info on this feature. Thanks!

I don't know anything new about web deploy at the moment. In the meantime, I have a cool workaround I'm writing instructions for. I am going to reopen the last ticket you had where we talked about this and pend you to receive the new document I'm working on. I'll send a note out today.

There is now a Deploy Power Toy, which can be downloaded at: http://sourcegear.com/vault/vaultpowertoys.html

I downloaded and tested this and found that it doesn't handle deep directory structures very well. Here's one line of the log file when I tried to deploy the contents of "blogengine"

Deploying $/slmcmahon blog/blogengine/App_Code/ExtensionManager/ManagedExtension.cs to \\192.168.8.7\c$\temp\demo\ExtensionManager\ManagedExtension.cs

I would have expected this to be deployed to:
\\192.168.8.7\c$\temp\demo\App_Code\ExtensionManager\ManagedExtension.cs, but you can see here that for some reason, it left out the App_Code folder.

is this a bug or am I just doing or expecting something wrong? I also noticed that in some cases it created a folder but put all of its contents at the same level as in:

$/some/folder/with/contents

ends up as

some\folder
some\with
some\contents

after being deployed

Hopefully this will be corrected as this could be an extremely useful feature!

Thanks for the feedback -- we'll look into this.

It would be helpful if you could post the XML which can be generated at the end of the wizard. That will help us understand exactly what you're deploying so that we can figure out how to fix the wizard.

I have included both the XML as well as the log output from the deploy that I attempted. Thanks for looking into this.

One other thing that would be extremely helpful would be the ability to deploy by label -- I'm just sayin'

Thanks for the output and xml files. I think I've fixed the subfolder issues you were seeing. I've attached an updated power toy if you'd like to give it a try.

Wow you guys are fast! I downloaded the update and it appears to have made an exact copy of the structure and files in Vault in my output directory.

Thanks for the speedy solution.
