Write the Webconfigreplace.json and submit it to TFS

{"  default": {"    customvariables": {    "Variable1": "Value1",    "Variable2": "Value2"  },    " Configchanges ": [        {          " KeyName ":"/configuration/metamodel ",          " Attribute ":" ConfigSource ",          " Value ":" Config\\metamodel.config "        },        {          " KeyName ":"/configuration/connectionstrings ",          " Attribute ":" ConfigSource ",          " Value ":" Config\\connectionstrings.config "        }      ,      {        " KeyName ":"/ Configuration/runtime/assemblybinding/probing ",        " Attribute ":" PrivatePath ",        " Value ":" BIN;BINMP;BINQF "      }      ,        {          "KeyName": "/configuration/system.web/compilation",          "Attribute": "Debug",          " Value ': ' False '        }    ]}}

　　

Note: The default is environment name here, and if environment name is not configured, specify default to

Configuring the configuration Json FileName: $ (Build.Repository.LocalPath)/src/xxx/webconfigreplace.json

Note that you must use the $ (Build.Repository.LocalPath) variable here to get the file root path.

Also, to replace a tag in Web. config with a variable in the _XXX_ format, the variable does not support system internal variables to use system built-in variables, such as $ (build.sourceversion)

You can create a new user variable and set its value to $ (build.sourceversion)
