Publish specific appsettings.json file on Azure

I want to publish a specific appsettings json in my publish folder.

In my .csproj file, I have this

<ItemGroup>
<None Update="appsettings.json">
  <CopyToOutputDirectory>Never</CopyToOutputDirectory>
</None>
<None Update="appsettings.Staging.json">
  <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
</None>
<None Update="Settings.job">
  <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
</None>

I have two publishing profiles (local/Azure).

In my local folder, everything works fine

But the when I publish on Azure I am not able to get the correct file:

ASP.NET Core configures app behavior based on the runtime environment using an environment variable.

To determine the runtime environment, ASP.NET Core reads from the following environment variables:

  • DOTNET_ENVIRONMENT
  • ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT when ConfigureWebHostDefaults is called.

The default ASP.NET Core web app templates call ConfigureWebHostDefaults. The ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT value overrides DOTNET_ENVIRONMENT.

EnvironmentName can be set to any value, but the following values are provided by the framework:

  • Development : The launchSettings.json file sets ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT to Development on the local machine.
  • Staging
  • Production : The default if DOTNET_ENVIRONMENT and ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT have not been set.

The environment for local machine development can be set in the Properties\launchSettings.json file of the project. Environment values set in launchSettings.json override values set in the system environment.

The launchSettings.json file can contain multiple profiles

Apps deployed to azure are Production by default.

Production is the default value if DOTNET_ENVIRONMENT and ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT have not been set.

When you publish your app you can override the environment on the host OS using an environment variable. When .NET Core starts your published app it will read that variables and load the appropriate appsettings.{environment}.json file. If the value is not set, or no file exists for that environment, then the settings in appsettings.json will apply.
