EasyHostingASP.NET | Best and cheap ASP.NET Core RC2 hosting in India. This week I ran into an issue when deploying a Service Fabric service where a library file was not being copied to the output directory. Since I am using ASP.NET Core for my API layer in the Service Fabric project, I had to go dig around to figure out how to get the file to copy to the deployment folder during the publishing of the ASP.NET Core application.

What I learned is that in ASP.NET Core RC 2 you can add scripts to the prepublish and postpublish events by adding a scripts section to the project.json file. In my case I needed to copy a file to the deployment folder after the rest of the project as built.

Note that you can reference variables like %publish:OutputPath%. You can also supply multiple commands by separating them with a comma. As noted above this currently works in ASP.NET Core RC2 but might change when as we transition back to the .csproj file.
