Config transform woes

Hi,

This is not an Octopus question, but struggling with this all morning and wondered if someone could give me a hand with this transform.

I have several endpoint definitions like this in a config file:

<client>
  <endpoint address="http://localhost/Service/MyService.svc"
    binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IMyService"
    contract="MyService.IProcess" name="MyService">
    <identity>
      <servicePrincipalName value="host/localhost" />
    </identity>
  </endpoint>

I wish to transform to this:

<client>
  <endpoint address="http://#{ServiceURL}/Service/MyService.svc"
    binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IMyService"
    contract="MyService.IProcess" name="MyService">
    <identity>
      <servicePrincipalName value="host/#{ServiceFQDN}" />
    </identity>
  </endpoint>

Has anyone got any similar transforms they are willing to share that may help me with this? The transforms I have tried so far aren’t doing anything when using the transform test tools I’m using.

Thanks,
Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for getting in touch. Not an Octopus question, but we can give you a hand with it :slight_smile:

Here’s an example I tested using AppHarbor’s web.config transformation tester

Web.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- For more information on using web.config transformation visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=125889 -->
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
	<endpoint address="http://localhost/Service/MyService.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IMyService" contract="MyService.IProcess" name="MyService">
        <identity> 
          <servicePrincipalName value="host/localhost" /> 
        </identity> 
  	</endpoint>
</configuration>

web.transform.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- For more information on using web.config transformation visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=125889 -->
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
	<endpoint address="http://#{ServiceURL}/Service/MyService.svc" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_IMyService" contract="MyService.IProcess" name="MyService" xdt:Transform="Replace">
        <identity> 
	      <servicePrincipalName value="host/#{ServiceFQDN}" xdt:Transform="Replace" /> 
	    </identity> 
  	</endpoint>
</configuration>

Hope that helps!
