msbuild DeployOnBuild=true argument not working

I am trying to automatically publish all the projects of my .NET solution using the DeplyOnBuild=true argument (according to this answer )

I typed this command in the PowerShell:

msbuild mysolultion.sln /p:Configuration=Debug;DeployOnBuild=true;

But I get the following error message :

The term 'DeployOnBuild=true' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:59 + msbuild mysolution.sln /p:Configuration=Debug;DeployOnBuild=true <<<< ; + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (DeployOnBuild=true:String) [], CommandNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

PowerShell is interpreting everything after your first semicolon as a separate command.

You need to use quotes:

MSBuild example.sln /p:"Configuration=Debug;DeployOnBuild=true;"

Or use separate /p parameters:

MSBuild example.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /p:DeployOnBuild=true
