Update ASP.NET 5 deployment script to publish with --no-source and --configuration Release

[DamianEdwards]

Make Kudu deployment script publish with --no-source --configuration Release so app doesn’t have to compile on startup and is compiled with optimizations.

[davidebbo]

Should we make this configurable, so that users can go either way?

[DamianEdwards]

Sounds good. What does that mean exactly? An env var to control? Portal option?

[davidebbo]

Well, it could be either, depending on whether it's an edge case of something common.

Interestingly, it looks like @ahmelsayed already added a switch. Looking at this line, if you set a SCM_DNU_PUBLISH_OPTIONS env variable, it gets appended to the command line.

Not saying this is necessarily good enough, but it should at least allow you to test the scenario with the other flags, to validate that you get the expected improvements and that everything works. Can you try setting SCM_DNU_PUBLISH_OPTIONS=--no-source --configuration Release in the portal before deploying and see how that goes?

I just set SCM_DNU_PUBLISH_OPTIONS to --configuration Release but after deploying to Azure via github my app is broken as long as I have

#if DEBUG
.AddJsonFile("secret.json") //only for debug, use Azure env. vars when deployed
#else

in my Startup.cs

Side question: Why are you switching on debug instead of the environment?

[hoetz]

Because I didn't know any better :)
Will take a look at this now: http://docs.asp.net/en/latest/fundamentals/environments.html

This is still breaking my site (rc1-final) when publishing to Azure:

      var ConfigurationBuilder = new ConfigurationBuilder().SetBasePath(appEnv.ApplicationBasePath);

        if (env.IsDevelopment())
        {
            ConfigurationBuilder
                .AddJsonFile("secret.json");
        }
        else
        {
            ConfigurationBuilder
      .AddEnvironmentVariables();
        }

System.IO.FileNotFoundException
The configuration file 'D:\home\site\approot\src\Web\secret.json' was not found and is not optional.
Update: Setting SCM_DNU_PUBLISH_OPTIONS = --configuration Release did not help.
