Issue deploying a single project of a tiered app using Github Actions and Webdeploy #8563

Hi,

I am trying to make the deployment of a single project (Alfa5.Blazor) of a tiered app on iis server in a virtual machine hosted in azure, using webdeploy and github actions to update automatically the files when a push was done.

The workflow that I configured is this:

name: Deploy to IIS using Web Deploy

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: self-hosted

    steps:
    - name: Checkout code
      uses: actions/checkout@v3

    - name: Setup .NET
      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v3
      with:
        dotnet-version: '9.0'
    
    - name: Remove ABP NuGet source if exists
      run: |
        dotnet nuget remove source ABP
        if ($?) { Write-Host "Source ABP removed." } else { Write-Host "Source ABP not found." }

    - name: Add ABP NuGet source
      run: dotnet nuget add source https://nuget.abp.io/***/v3/index.json --name ABP --username *** --password ***

    - name: Restore dependencies
      run: dotnet restore

    - name: Build project
      run: dotnet build --configuration Release --no-restore

    - name: Publish application
      run: dotnet publish -c Release -o ./publish

    - name: Deploy using Web Deploy
      run: |
        "C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe" `
        -verb:sync `
        -source:contentPath="./publish" `
        -dest:iisApp="webdeployblazor",wmsvc=***,username="***",password=***,authType=Basic `
        -allowUntrusted

The app is tiered, so the project needs project dependencies that are referred in another directories, above the root of the project. But i am deploying just a single project, so to get around this problema I create a directory named "projectDependencies" and imported the necessary dependencies to inside it.

Inicially was working, but when I finished the importations of the project dependencies an another error was called, about circular dependencies. I already checked if really was circular dependencies in the project but I couldn't find none.

I will show the dependencies next:

Alfa5.Blazor: <ItemGroup> <ProjectReference Include="projectDependencies/Alfa5.Blazor.Client.csproj" /> <ProjectReference Include="projectDependencies/Alfa5.HttpApi.Client.csproj" /> </ItemGroup>

Alfa5.Blazor.Client: <ItemGroup> <ProjectReference Include="Alfa5.HttpApi.Client.csproj" /> </ItemGroup>

Alfa5.HttpApi.Client: <ItemGroup> <ProjectReference Include="Alfa5.Application.Contracts.csproj" /> </ItemGroup>

Alfa5.Application.Contracts: <ItemGroup> <ProjectReference Include="Alfa5.Domain.Shared.csproj" /> </ItemGroup>

Alfa5.Domain.Shared: None

This made me think if there are another thing that I missed, of if its a problem caused about some abp package that are confliting or if this what i am doing is even possible. I am accepting any solutions, cause is just a test, the next step that i would try was to deploy the whole app when a push was done, identifying what changed and making the webdeploy, but it will be way more complicated.

• ABP Framework version: v0.9.15
• UI Type: Blazor Server
• Database System: EF Core (SQL Server)
• Tiered (for MVC) or Auth Server Separated (for Angular): yes
• Exception message and full stack trace:

Run dotnet build --configuration Release --no-restore
