I have a build and release pipelines in Azure DevOps (Visual Studio Online) for an ASP.NET (Non-Core) Website on .Net Framework 4.6.1.



After the deployment is finished, the Web.config file has empty value attribute for all the AppSettings keys that I've set in the XDT Transformation file.



Web.config used by my local IIS has values like these:



<appSettings>
<add key="testKey1" value="testValue1" />
<add key="testKey2" value="testValue2" />
….
….
</appSettings>


After the deployment is finished, this is how AppSettings looks like in Web.config:



<appSettings>
<add key="testKey1" value="" /> <!-- Notice how the value is empty -->
<add key="testKey2" value="" />
….
….
</appSettings>


As a note: this is pulled from the server directly.



My transformation file is named as Web.MyTestEnvironment.config and MyTestEnvironment is the same name as the stage in Azure DevOps which has the task to deploy/publish the artifact.



In the logs, I can see azure app service deploy (Version 4.x if that matters) applying those transformations one by one and reporting success (I've set System.Debug to true in pipeline variables to get this).



I tried downloading the artifact zip file and saw that parameters.xml file has all the XPath locators set but SetParameters.xml file looks like this:



<parameters>
<setParameter value="" name="testKey1" /> <!-- Also notice how value is empty -->
<setParameter value="" name="testKey2" />
</parameters>


I've tried everything I can think of and I've been looking online for similar issues but to no avail.



This is how the FileTransform is set in the CI task:



enter image description here



Any ideas why my transforms are being ignored? or maybe being overridden by the SetParameters.xml file?



I've followed this guide to set up the transformations in Azure DevOps: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tasks/transforms-variable-substitution?view=azure-devops



Also, looked at countless StackOverflow questions but those weren't describing my scenario.



Any help is much appreciated.
