I developed a local website on vs code using basic html and CSS. I then deployed an Azure web app. I want to push the local website to the Azure web app
I watched videos on youtube but the sets didn't work. I have tried using Azuredevops as well
Visual Studio Code does not have an integrated build system (Web Publish) like Visual Studio does. But it does have command line task running and Git built in.
Use a task runner to kick off your build/publish from the command palette (ctrl+p). Grunt is available. This requires that you manually script it out, but once that is done, it is easy to kick off the task from that point.
Compatible task runner details: https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/editor/tasks
Another option is to create a CI/CD pipeline using your source control like Git or Azure Devops to execute your build and release task.
You can use MSBuild task from visual studio code for deploying the website:
msbuild <Project or Solution Path> /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=<Publish Profile Name>
You can point to a solution, this will publish ALL the projects that includes a valid Publish Profile
msbuild <FullPath>\MySolution.sln /p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:PublishProfile=Test
Hope it helps.

What kind of tasks or custom commands could be used to generate artifacts for rptproj projects during TFS build process and then to publish the reports to local ReportServer later during deployment process?
The long story.
I have a setup with separate Build and Deployment pipelines in TFS 2018 Express.
My Visual Studio 2017 solution has three ASP.NET MVC web app projects and two SSRS projects (rptproj).
Currently, I'm triggering a build using the following MSBuild parameters:
/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:WebPublishMethod=Package
/p:PackageAsSingleFile=true /p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true
/p:PackageLocation="$(build.artifactstagingdirectory)\\"
/p:AutoParameterizationWebConfigConnectionStrings=false
and also I have specified an output folder for artifacts.
After a build, the artifact folder contains three zip files for the websites and some deployment helper scripts. However, there is no any output from my rptproj projects (and I'm not sure what should the output be for these). The report projects are built without any issues, judging from the build log, they just don't generate any artifact outputs.
I have configured the deploy pipeline to take the zips and deploy to local IIS server. It works just fine, also web.config transforms get applied.
I did it all using TFS 2018 built-in tasks and everything seemed mostly straight forward. But there are no built-in tasks for SSRS.
I found some third party SSRS tasks in the TFS online gallery but, if I understand correctly, they all seem to be deploying immediately during build. I don't need that - I want first to collect the rptproj output in the artifacts and then later deploy it during the deploy pipeline step because sometimes I want to trigger a manual release for some older build without actually rebuilding everything.

You just stated the exact solution to the problem:
Add a Publish Artifacts task, point it to the folder containing your report output, and publish your reports as an artifact. Then it will be available in a release. In my experience, you don't need to "build" report projects, you can just publish the folder containing your reports from $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/Path/To/Your/Reports.
I'm currently building scripts using Selenium Builder (which saves files as JSON) and i'm having a hard time running these scripts on VSTS. My question specifically is, can Visual Studio Team Services build JSON scripts and tie them in with its C.I.? If so, which approach must I take in order to do this / make it possible?
Thanks!
Here is my steps for your reference:
Deploy your own private build agent by following this link.
Configure the required environment on the build agent like Selenium Driver, Firefox so that the testing can be run on the build agent.
Upload the json file generated by Selenium Builder into VSTS Repository.
Create a build definition with two Command Line tasks: The first one runs npm install command to install se-interpreter:
And the second one run se-interpreter command to run the test in json file:
Queue the build, you will see the test been executed during the build:
I'm trying to build a SSIS 2016 project, that's been configured with the Project Deployment model in a VSTS build with the intent to deploy the .ispac file onto a SQL Server VM hosted in Azure.
Using MSBuild to build the project file returns the following error:
The default XML namespace of the project must be the MSBuild XML namespace.
If the project is authored in the MSBuild 2003 format, please add xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" to the element.
If the project has been authored in the old 1.0 or 1.2 format, please convert it to MSBuild 2003 format.
I found a blog post here describing the same issue
https://speaksql.wordpress.com/2013/06/07/a-journey-to-db-deployment-automaton-ssis-build-using-msbuild/
However, the solution depends on installed SQL Server Data Tools into a build agent.
Is there a method where I can use a VSTS Hosted agent, and not have to create an on-premises agent with SSDT installed?
Just released new Extension for VSTS/TFS
https://github.com/ToxicGlobe/VSTS-SSIS-Extension
It build Visual Studio project, containing packages and parameters to a project deployment file (.ispac)

For similar scenario i used devenv.exe
Tool : C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
Arguments : .\Code\Database\NameOfSolution.sln /build $(BuildConfiguration)
devenv.exe /build does not require ssdt to installed on build agent
Looks like Microsoft is not supporting this just yet based off UserVoice

Our build consists of two projects, a library project and a web front end project that depends on the library project.
The Hudson jobs are configured from the maven pom.xml files and the dependency appears on Hudson as downstream/upstream project. Both jobs use the "poll SCM" build trigger and everything works as intended when only one the projects changes.
The problem arises when a commit contains changes in both projects, so Hudson starts a build of both projects at the same time and usually the web project build fails because it is using an older version of the library project.
Can I configure Hudson to delay the execution of the web project build if there is a build running the library project?
Isn't the web project and the other project located in a different area of the version control? ON the other hand you can define upstream or downstream dependencies and say only start if the build went well.
I have recently installed Eclipse Galileo with the PHP Developers Tools. I plan to install the Flash Builder 4 Plug-in to do ActionScript development as well.
I want to use Eclipse to both create an ant build script and execute it to compile ActionScript docs from an ActionScript 3 code library.
The problem is that when I try to run a build.xml file (which every site that answers the ant build questions says it should handle automatically) I never see an option to run it as an Ant Build, not can I find any way to associate XML files to Ant in the Preferences or External Tools dialogs.
I;ve seen numerous tutorials on build Ant build files, but never anything about running the actual build script.
Try to install "Eclipse Java EE Developer Tools" component. It's in "Web, XML, and Java EE Development" of "Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo" repository.
