IIS Deploy action

This action allows to deploy a website on IIS.

This action is based on Microsoft scripts bundled with some versions of Visual Studio.

The MS Deploy configuration uses these default settings:

• WebPublishMethod = MSDeploy
• SkipExtraFilesOnServer = false
• EnableMSDeployAppOffline = true

Also, some generic directories and files are excluded to prevent data loose:

'ExcludeFiles'=@(
    @{'objectname'='filePath';'absolutepath'='.*google.*\.html'},
    @{'objectname'='filePath';'absolutepath'='.*BingSiteAuth\.xml'},
    @{'objectname'='filePath';'absolutepath'='logs\\.*'},
    @{'objectname'='dirPath';'absolutepath'='logs'},
    @{'objectname'='filePath';'absolutepath'='data\\.*'},
    @{'objectname'='dirPath';'absolutepath'='data'}
)}

Requirements

• A Windows runner
• A runner with Web Deploy 3.0+ (more information here and here)
