TFS, how to get output from post-build?

Question

I'm using TFS Server 2013 preview to build my web app, and want to call a command line tool after the build.

I'd like to use the "post-build script path" property to do this, rather than customise the build template. It looks like exactly what I want.

The problem is that I don't seem to get anything from stdout or stderr in the build logs.

I've tried redirecting output to a file by adding " > log.txt" to the end of the arguments section but it doesn't help. I'm not sure it can help either, as it's not an argument to be passed into the command line tool.

Any ideas on how I can get the output from the command line?

You need to look at the TFS web application to get the diagnostic log output. Full answer is here:
