I have a web API in .NET and i have always published this application in Visual Studio Publish Tool (My Visual Studio is in Portuguese).
This is my publish profile:
<Project>
<PropertyGroup>
<DeleteExistingFiles>false</DeleteExistingFiles>
<ExcludeApp_Data>false</ExcludeApp_Data>
<LaunchSiteAfterPublish>true</LaunchSiteAfterPublish>
<LastUsedBuildConfiguration>Release</LastUsedBuildConfiguration>
<LastUsedPlatform>Any CPU</LastUsedPlatform>
<PublishProvider>FileSystem</PublishProvider>
<PublishUrl>bin\Release\net7.0\publish\</PublishUrl>
<WebPublishMethod>FileSystem</WebPublishMethod>
<_TargetId>Folder</_TargetId>
<SiteUrlToLaunchAfterPublish />
<TargetFramework>net7.0</TargetFramework>
<RuntimeIdentifier>linux-arm64</RuntimeIdentifier>
<PublishSingleFile>true</PublishSingleFile>
<ProjectGuid>acd5c81a-d250-42a9-acc0-9e929b78dfa3</ProjectGuid>
<SelfContained>true</SelfContained>
</PropertyGroup>
</Project>
My problem is that im trying to publish the project by CLI now, and i have tried these two commands:
dotnet publish --configuration Release --runtime linux-arm64 --self-contained true dotnet publish -p:PublishProfile=FolderProfile
Apparently both work, but when i deploy using the Visual Studio Publish tool, my folder "publish" updates, but when i run any of these two commands, the "publish" folder dont update. I need a command with the same configuration of my publish profile that update my "publish" folder properly.
The command you are looking for is:
dotnet publish --configuration Release --runtime linux-arm64 --self-contained true --output C:\YOUR\PUBLISH\FOLDER
