Convert App.config to appharbor background workers

Question

I would like to use the conversion app.config, as is done for web.config on the background workers AppHarbor . I tried the solution suggested in the previous question but it does not seem to work. Is it possible?

thanks

Answer 1

AppHarbor actually already applies the transforms before deploying the background workers, but the problem is that the file names no longer match. Therefore, if we convert App.config, we are looking for a transformation called App.Release.config. However, after the build, the file name will usually be ExecutableName.exe.config, and there is no corresponding conversion for this.

We are thinking about ways to solve this problem. At the same time, you can rename your conversion according to the name of the runtime configuration file.

Answer 2

You can use SlowCheetah (VS extension) to convert app.config in the same way as web.config. Let me know if this does not work for you.
