  How to exclude folder in Web Deploy V3 cmd line using msdeploy.exe

  Feb 21, 2017 09:35 PM|Jim2401|LINK

  I am in the process of building CI using TeamCity using Nant. I have stuck with the last piece of code to exclude App_Data folder while deploying to the server.

  Here is my code :

  C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3>msdeploy.exe 
  -verb:sync 
  -source:contentPath="C:\a\testteamcity\Demo\WebApp\obj\Release\Package\PackageTmp"  
  -dest:contentPath='prod.test/deploy'
  -skip:Directory="App_Data" -skip:objectName=dirPath,absolutePath="\\App_Data"
  ,ComputerName="https://XXX:8172/msdeploy.axd?prod.test",UserName='XXX\abc',Password=****',AuthType='Basic' 
  -allowuntrusted -usechecksum 
  
  

  Error: Unrecognized skip directive 'Directory'. Must be one of the following: "objectName," "keyAttribute," "absolutePath," "xPath," "attributes.<name>."
  Error count: 1.
