Batch Maven build breaking cmd.exe?

I had a Windows .bat file with a script for compilation of a project I'm working on. The last command is a maven build. Since it takes a while to finish, I wanted to be notified when it does.

I figured that the easiest way would be the equivalent to echo -e '\a' . So I looked around a bit and added echo <BELL>(<BELL> being a byte with the code 0x07) at the end of my script. I added echo in front of all commands for a quick test and it worked like a charm.

Removed the echos and ran the script. A few minutes later I notice it's finished. I didn't hear the bell, but assumed I just wasn't paying attention. Retested with echoes and it bell-ed just fine. However this has happened several times and I now know for a fact I'm not just missing it, it isn't there.

I've tried making a simple C program just running printf("\a") to the same results. I've then just tried an echo please work, this text didn't show up either. I've figured out that the difference is in the maven command being or not being echoed out. To sum up:

• Windows 10, Maven for Windows as last effective command in .bat batch script
  
• If mvn command is prepended with echo everythng works as it should
  
• If mvn command is ran subsequent commands in the .bat do not run
  
• Once the script finishes there appears to be nothing wrong with the cmd.exe instance
  

I have Cygwin (needed for the build) so if it's usefull for debugging that's not a problem.

EDIT: So it appears Maven is a batch file itself. Interrestingly, where mvn lists first bhahlabh\mnv (a bash script) and then blahblah\mvn.com

 

How to import and build a maven project into mscode




I hope I am in the right forum. I have searched and could not find a forum for mscode.

I am trying to download the source from
alg4 github site and run one of the files called BinarySearch. It seems to be a Maven project, and I have read the relevant documentation for mscode but I seem to be missing something. The App.Class file in the target directory seems too small, and it
does not respond to Java command from command line.

 

Deploy Individual Static Content Files to Azure App Services via FTP Task in Azure Pipelines

I've just upgraded a Classic ASP website to an ASP.NET Core MVC Razor Page framework. I do not have a CMS system and all of my static content files (.xml), PDFs, and images are contained in my website project. To deploy my static content files, I'm
using FTP tasks within Azure pipelines that are based on directory. When my release pipelines run, they delete all of the content within the designated content directory on my app service and then re-copy all of the content that was in the directory associated
with the deployment. With Classic ASP, I was able to use Web Deploy to publish individual files to my on prem servers, however, Web Deploy is no longer an option due to security issues with publishing from on prem to the cloud. I'd like to deploy individual
content files, instead of an entire content directory within my release pipelines. The ability to deploy deltas would be an added bonus. Is there a script or other functionality available that would allow me to deploy individual static content files to my
app services? Please note I'm not able to edit the files directly within the Kudu console, due to audit standards.
