Files not copied during deployment

[Justinvolved]

Hello,

My deployment says it has run succesfully, but I still find that files are not copied over. I use the transfer command to copy files from the working directory to the application folder. According to the log all is well:

But I can see a version marker file is not copied, here is the file in the artifact:

And the file in the application folder is still showing the old file:

Also the Modified date of all other files in the folder are not changed, so it looks like nothing is actually copied over.

Any help figuring out why this is would be much appreciated...

Thanks,

Justin

Hi @Justinvolved ,

The first thing I would try is enabling verbose logging; this is on the advanced tab of the operation, or you can set with Verbose: true parameter.

That will give a file-by-file comparison, and show you what's being copied and not. You will see texts like:

Copying C:\apxltd\artifact\Inedo.DependencyScan.dll to C:\apxltd\artifact2\Inedo.DependencyScan.dll...
Inedo.DependencyScan.dll already exists in C:\apxltd\artifact2.
Source timestamp: 11/12/2022 8:26:38 AM, Target timestamp: 11/12/2022 8:26:38 AM
Source size: 54272, Target size: 54272
Size and timestamp are the same; skipping Inedo.DependencyScan.dll...

Hopefully that will help trace this a little bit better.

Cheers,
Alana

Hi @atripp,

Thanks that helped me solve it pretty quickly, just a typo somewhere in the script variables.
Very happy to have learned about the verbose setting :-)
