Hi folks,
really. weird. shiz.
When I do a TFS Team Build (with Remote Deploy), some #if DEBUG preprocessor directives code I have on a web page does not get called. When i manually one-click deploy (remote deploy) the preprocessor directive code works. When I debug locally, the code also works.
So - problem looks to be related to my configuration settings for the Build Template i have (I think??). So, this is what I have :-
Nothing too hard. That says ... Please kind Compiler. Build my project (read: project, NOT solution) in 'DEBUG' mode.
The code i have is the following :-
#if DEBUG
Log.Debug("We are in DEBUG mode.");
#else
Log.Debug("We are _NOT_ in DEBUG mode.");
#endif
So when this code (in some aspx page) is called, it prints out "We are in DEBUG mode." when it's
- Localhost (Localhost Configuration: Debug)
- Remote server with manual One-click reploy (Localhost Configuration: Debug)
But not when i let TFS's continuous intergration kick in.
FML.
I've tried to see if it was a CASING situation (ie #if debug or #if Debug) but it still doesn't work.
I then even tried to explicitly tell MSBuild the configuration....
Still no love.
Oh .. but this is the corker! I ALSO have some web.config transformations
- web.config
- web.debug.config
- web.release.config
... and can u guess which file get's transformed ?? Winner if u guessed web.debug.config for all scenario's ... even the team build which is erroring in the code! So it's like the build process and workflow knows it's a DEBUG configuration .. kewl! but the compiled code doesn't???
Lastly, changing debug="true" or debug="false" makes no difference.
Can someone please help before I jump out of this building? It kills me when, constantly, these weird ass issues pop up in my life. sigh
Please help!
NOTE: I cannot accept anymore donations for the world's smallest violin - I have been given plenty already. Cheers :)
