I have numerous different Web.configs in my MVC 5 Application for different environments - e.g. Test/Prod
I have web transforms in place to change values for the different environments. So for example I have the following app setting in my web.config file:
<appSettings>
<add key="DevDisplayPanel" value="true" />
</appSettings>
Then in my Web.Test.config and Web.Prod.config using a web transform to change the value as below:
<appSettings>
<add key="DevDisplayPanel"
xdt:Transform="Replace"
xdt:Locator="Match(key)"
value="false" />
<appSettings>
However in my Web.config I also have my own custom section which is outside the <appSettings>
section and is as below:
<myCustomSection>
<serverList>
<add zone="Zone1" url="https://dev-myurl1.com"/>
<add zone="Zone2" url="https://dev-myurl2.com"/>
<add zone="Zone2" url="https://dev-myurl3.com"/>
</serverList>
</myCustomSection>
My question is - is it possible to have a web transform so that for Test and Prod would look as below:
Test:
<myCustomSection>
<serverList>
<add zone="Zone1" url="https://test-myurl1.com"/>
<add zone="Zone2" url="https://test-myurl2.com"/>
<add zone="Zone2" url="https://test-myurl3.com"/>
</serverList>
</myCustomSection>
Prod:
<myCustomSection>
<serverList>
<add zone="Zone1" url="https://prod-myurl1.com"/>
<add zone="Zone2" url="https://prod-myurl2.com"/>
<add zone="Zone2" url="https://prod-myurl3.com"/>
</serverList>
</myCustomSection>
You can try replacing the contents of the <serverList>
tag.
Test:
<myCustomSection>
<serverList xdt:Transform="Replace">
<add zone="Zone1" url="https://test-myurl1.com"/>
<add zone="Zone2" url="https://test-myurl2.com"/>
<add zone="Zone2" url="https://test-myurl3.com"/>
</serverList>
</myCustomSection>
Prod:
<myCustomSection>
<serverList xdt:Transform="Replace">
<add zone="Zone1" url="https://prod-myurl1.com"/>
<add zone="Zone2" url="https://prod-myurl2.com"/>
<add zone="Zone2" url="https://prod-myurl3.com"/>
</serverList>
</myCustomSection>
