Variable substitution worked in 2.3 but not after upgrading to 2.4

Legacy Uncategorised

Here is one of our dev transform sections for web.config:

@@@
<system.identityModel>





</system.identityModel>

We have a variable defined in the project for ApiVersion. It substituted fine with Octopus 2.3 but after upgrading Octopus 2.4 it ends up un-substituted like this:

Actual Deployed web.config section

@@@
<system.identityModel>





</system.identityModel>
@@@

Please advise.

Hi,

Sorry about the hassle - the evaluation order of XML configuration transforms and file substitutions were swapped in the 2.4 release; you should now specify the transform file, rather than the target file, as the substitution target.

(Some more detail/history at: https://github.com/OctopusDeploy/Issues/issues/827).

Regards,
Nick

Nick, our transforms are named like so:

Web.Development.config
Web.Internal.config
Web.Production-Foo.config
Web.Production-Bar.config

Do I need to list those individually with Octopus or is there a better way?

Hi - Web.*.config should be supported here (let us know if you have any trouble with it).

Cheers,
Nick
