Kudu Deployment Script for ASP.NET Core 1.0

Question

I'm developing a ASP.NET Core 1.0 application using Visual Studio Code and I can't/won't use the built-in publishing tools in Visual Studio IDE. I have this working for ASP.NET 5 RC1 (dnx-clr-win-x86.1.0.0-rc1-update1) but I don't know how to update this to ASP.NET Core 1.0 and the tools does not seem to be updated yet.

For ASP.NET 5 RC1 I used the azure-cli package to generate a deploy.cmd file with the following command:

azure site deploymentscript --aspNet5 .\server\project.json -p .\server --aspNet5Version "1.0.0-rc1-update1" --aspNet5Runtime clr --aspNet5Architecture x86

I got the following deploy.cmd file:

@if "%SCM_TRACE_LEVEL%" NEQ "4" @echo off

This works for ASP.NET 5 RC1 (dnx-clr-win-x86.1.0.0-rc1-update1) but how do I update it for ASP.NET Core 1.0? Can someone point me to a working example of a deploy.cmd for ASP.NET Core 1.0?

The Azure CLI will be updated soon, but you can use the latest now by directly using the kuduscript npm package. Install it using:

npm install -g kuduscript

You can then generate an ASP.NET Core script using something like this (replace names as appropriate):

kuduscript -y --aspNetCore src\AspNetCoreVS\project.json -s AspNetCoreVS.sln

Or if you don't have a solution file, you can skip that which generates a slightly different script.

Note that in common cases, Kudu should figure things out without any scripts. Custom scripts are only needed in more complex cases.

Thanks! This really helped me. I deleted both .deployment and deploy.cmd - Kudu figured it all out for a simple test repo. For my main project I had the ASP.NET Core application in a sub folder. In that case I pointed kudu to that project by specifying "[config] project = server" in a custom .deployment file.
