How to set a custom build folder?

Hi,

Our infrastructure requires us to build project into \bin\output , rather than \bin.

It appears that Sitefinity looks for assemblies in bin folder by default.

Sitefinity support has suggested adding assemblyBinding configuration setting:

<assemblyBinding  xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
   <probing privatePath="bin;bin\output"/>
</assemblyBinding>

Telerik assemblies still don't get picked up, but non-telerik assemblies are now being picked up, which is better!

Did anybody manage to get Sitefinity to run from a custom build directory?

Thank you,

Viktor

Hello Viktor,

Actually, a Sitefinity project will have its references set to point to the bin folder of the project. However, you can change these references to point to any folder(some client prefer to point their Sitefinity project references to the _EmptyProject folder of the corresponding version so when they rebuild the project, they do not lose the Telerik assemblies in the bin folder). In your specific scenario, you can configure the assemblies to be built in
\bin\output and then adjust the project references to point to that folder, there should be no problem. If any issues persist, please do not hesitate to let us know, we'll be glad to help.
