I am using the MSBuild runner in Team city to build and deploy my project to a staging environment. Everything works perfectly except for the fact that it keeps removing my repository folder located in the root of the project.
In Visual Studio 2010 there is a check box in the publish profile dialog that says "Leave extra files on destination (do not delete)"
Is there a way to accomplish the same thing with MSBuild?
<Target Name="Deploy" DependsOnTargets="Build;Test">
<MSBuild Projects="MyProject.sln" Properties="Configuration=$(Configuration); username=username; password=password; DeployOnBuild=True; DeployTarget=MSDeployPublish; MSDeployPublishMethod=WMSVC; MSDeployServiceUrl=https://DEVWEB01:8172/MsDeploy.axd; DeployIISAppPath=MyProject.$(Configuration); AllowUntrustedCertificate=True;"/>
</Target>
Found the answer!
All you need to do is add the following property to the Properties attribute:
SkipExtraFilesOnServer=True;
