have you tried running dotnet publish as a postcompile script? – Omdurman

@Omdurman yes it doesn't work – Fate

I don't know what it means exactly... - is there an error or what? (as a side note - I am not quite sure why you would even want to publish on build...) – Omdurman

@Omdurman I test it:dotnet publish --framework netcoreapp1.0 --output "c:\temp\Api" --configuration Release but not working.i also try to running bat file but not work again. – Fate

again "not working" is very vague. Can it be that you build Debug but try to publish Release or you build net461 and publish netcoreapp1.0? – Omdurman

Answer 1

Add the --no-build parameter to dotnet publish in your post-build event. By default, dotnet publish will run a build, which will trigger post-build events, which will then try to publish again, which will cause an infinite loop that appears to make the build hang.
