MSBuild Integration SortSite Developer Manual

The Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild) is the build platform for .NET and Visual Studio.

To test build outputs using SortSite Developer with MSBuild:

1. Make sure the built app or site is available via an HTTP server (e.g. http://localhost/build-output or http://your-staging-server/ )
2. Create a SortSiteCmd configuration file setting ProcessURL to the build output URL setup in the previous step
3. To flag a build failure when any issues are detected, set the ExpectedResults element in the XML configuration file
4. Add an MSBuild task similar to this:

<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
 <ItemGroup>
  <TestConfig Include="*.config"/>
 </ItemGroup>

 <Target Name="TestSite">
  <Exec Command='"c:\Program Files (x86)\PowerMapper Software\SortSite\SortSiteCmd.exe"
                %(TestConfig.Identity)'/>
 </Target>
</Project>
