Configuration transforms doesnt applied

Hi there,

I’ve a problem with feature “Configuration transforms”.

Two environments are available : Test / Prod
I’ve created files that needs to be transformed in my project : security.Test.yml and security.Prod.yml
Configuration transforms feature is added
XML transforms unchecked
Additional transforms : security.#{Octopus.Environment.Name}.yml => security.yml

and… nothing happened… files security.Test.yml and security.Prod.yml are deployed but no file security.yml is here.

part of raw logs :
17:19:22 Verbose | 5,902 files were extracted from the package
17:19:22 Verbose | Initial variable evaluation performed.
17:19:22 Verbose | Variables have been fully evaluated.
17:19:22 Verbose | Running procedure 'Delete temporary package files’
17:19:22 Verbose | Looking for any configuration transformation files
17:24:04 Verbose | Storing a record of the deployment.
17:24:04 Info | Deployment complete.

Something is missing ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Sebastien,

Thanks for getting in touch!

The Additional Transforms uses XML transformation to work, so this won’t work with YML files.

If these environment-specific files just need to overwrite the security.yml file, you should be able to do that with a fairly basic PowerShell script step using the Copy-Item cmdlet.
You could put this in a PostDeploy.ps1 file in the nuget package, or just use the Custom PowerShell Scripts option so you know it will run in the right place.

Hope that helps!
