Folks, I am using NAnt to build a number of web projects and then to deploy them to an IIS instance. Occasionally, the deploy fails with a "Cannot Copy '<file>'. Access to the path '<file>' is denied". where <file> is some assembly that needs to be replaced.
If I run the deploy again, it will usually work (occasionallt not, but persistance pays off and it will eventually deploy). Now I presume this is something to do with the IIS thread accessing the assembly at the same time that I want to overwrite it. I do not want to set failonerror="false" as I do actually want to replace the files. The same error can happen if I try to delete the remote files before deploying. Is this a "feature" of the so-called MS .Net XCopy deploy functionality? Is there anything that I can do to ensure that the delete and copy will actually work, as this error is not really making life easy for a hands-off build and deploy Cheers Pete ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
