Msbuild is not copying web.config file while transformation

Question

TransformWebConfig folder is empty after msbuild publish. Following is the teamcity log

[09:31:43]: [GetPublishingLocalizedString] Found The following for Config tranformation:

Web.config file is present in the directory. Just don't understand why it is not picking it. Also After publishing the destination is containing web.deploy and web.release files instead of web.config file. Please help.

Answer 1

After a few work around, figure out that web.config property was set to Do not Copy, change it to copy always and secondly Build action was set to none, change it to content. Hope it will help someone.
