TFS publish build artifacts to share with custom path

Question

Is it possible to publish build artifacts with paths other than original?

I have built folders with all necessary files to publish:

• SolutionName\Project1\bin\$(BuildConfiguration)
• SolutionName\Project2\bin\$(BuildConfiguration)

I want to get:

• \\share\$(Build.BuildNumber)\$(BuildConfiguration)/Project1 \\share\$(Build.BuildNumber)\$(BuildConfiguration)/Project2

In Publish build artifacts step I specified

• Copy root SolutionName Content **\bin\$(BuildConfiguration)\*
• Artifact Name $(Build.BuildNumber)
• Path \\share

And get

• \\share\$(Build.BuildNumber)\Project1\bin\$(BuildConfiguration)\...
• \\share\$(Build.BuildNumber)\Project2\bin\$(BuildConfiguration)\...

Answer 1

You can use the Copy File task .In this task you could be able to the original directory structure and publish Build Artifacts through $(Build.StagingDirectory).

See this question for details: Copy one file in target directory on deploy from visual studio team services

Update

In your situation, the arguments should be(could change them based on your needs) :

Two copy files task for each project:

• Source Folder: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)\SolutionName\ProjectName\bin\$(BuildConfiguration)

• Contents: **\*

• Target Folder: $(Build.StagingDirectory)\$(Build.BuildNumber)\$(BuildConfiguration)\projectX

One Copy and Publish Build Artifacts

• Mostly the same with my screenshot above, Artifact Type should be File share and Path \\share

Finally, you will get the result as below:
