Some files in "wwwroot" folder are not published in ASP.NET Core web deploy

I am using ASP.NET Core 2.0 in Visual Studio 2017.

My site works fine when I hit debug in [IIS Express][1]. But when deploying the site to IIS server, not all the folders and files in wwwroot are deployed. I have looked at the .csproj file, but I don't know how to make sure it deploys all files and folders.

I solved the issue. The solution is to edit the .csproj file.

Remove all the `ItemGroup` tags related to wwwroot and then add this one:

<ItemGroup>
<None Include="wwwroot\*" />
</ItemGroup>

The asterisk will include all the subfolders and files.

```
<PropertyGroup>

<EnableDefaultContentItems>false</EnableDefaultContentItems>
</PropertyGroup>
```

```
<ItemGroup>
<Content Include="wwwroot\**\*">
<CopyToPublishDirectory>Always</CopyToPublishDirectory>
</Content>
</ItemGroup>
```

It's working for me
```
<ItemGroup>
<None Include="wwwroot\**">
<CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory>
</None>
</ItemGroup>
```

Notice to myself:

when you stumble over this issue again (like it happened twice already), double check whether the `wwwroot` content is really committed to git, and the build agent *has* the files to publish, or if there is an exclusion of `wwwroot` in (any) `.gitignore`

:facepalm:
