Could not open Source file: Could not find a part of the path Web.config; \umbraco\Xslt\Web.config'


I am using Team city as my build server, and web deploy in order to create my deploy package.

I have received error message:

My error message that is on Build server

[09:31:50][Step 1/1] Step Publish & Deploy (MSBuild) failed

I have found 2 cases which cause this error.

This happens because of web.deploy is running web.config transformation changes. By default the web.config is set to build as content.

Solution 1 - Svn issue


Issue has been that I have had 2 sources loading data.
One:Source check out from repository
Second:Artefacts used from previous steps.

Use only one source for build and error goes away.

Solution 2 - Web.config transform


Find the file in your solution(project). in my case it is:"D:\41fe9571fcaca9a1\Website.Web.UI\umbraco\Xslt\Web.config".
Go to the properties of the file (Alt + Enter)

Update your configuration.

Set your "Build Action" to  None or Content

This means that there will be no transform on this config, usual configuration is compile.

  3. I am having the same issue but solution #2 didn't make any difference for me and solution #1 doesn't apply

    Error 1 Could not open Source file: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\Consuelo\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\Umbraco4.5WebApplicationCopy\Umbraco4.5WebApplication\umbraco\Install\Views\Web.config;\umbraco\Install\Views\Web.config'. 0 0 Umbraco4.5WebApplication

    Any ideas? I am trying to publish to the server from Visual Studio2013
