User(s) can reproduce this bug

The extensibility available from the commandline is not available in the UI when using File System Publish, so extensions are not able to extend the functionality.

Details (expand)

Visual Studio 2012

Install an extension such as SlowCheetah, which transforms config files during publish. Add transforms for Debug, Release, etc. When you do a File System publish via the GUI, SlowCheetah is unable to extend the functionality and transform the config files after the build but before the publish.

English

Windows 8

English

Actions taken by an extension (such as SlowCheetah config file transformations) take place after the file has been copied to the bin directory.

Actions taken by an extension (such as SlowCheetah config file transformations) should be able to take place before the file has been copied to the bin directory.

Hi JAGlick, thanks for posting this. I was hoping that this would be something simple that we could take care of as a bug fix. Unfortunately it looks like it will be a significant amount of work, and will need to be prioritized with our other features. In order to help with this I've created a new item at http://aspnet.uservoice.com/forums/41199-general-asp-net/suggestions/3743796-file-system-publish-extensibility. Let's see how much interest there is for this.

I will resolve this item at this time, but feel free to re-open it if I have misunderstood anything.

Thanks,
