Im developing an webapp for a company im hired at as a student assistant, but i'm having an issue actually publishing to their iis server, since school never really covered deploying/publishing of our projects, but just continue with the next project..

I can publish my API from visual studio just fine, but i simply can't figure out how to publish my html/css/js project from webstorm to the iis server?

Anyone can help?😅

There’s no senior in the company you could ask?

Webstorm has an SSH and FTP client built in, under Tools > Deployment
(If that‘s what you‘re looking for)
(Alternatively you could checkout the files from a git repo directly from the server, or even have a webhook running to react to pushes)

@possum im thinking normally, a projevt would have a setting to publish, if not so, you could usualy compile it and then take the files from the bin/out folder, but i can't seem to find either of these options at webstorm, and it doesnt even seem to make bin/out folders when i run the project 🤔
Should i be using another IDE, is webstorm even capable of publishing like e.g visual studio ?

Does your team have a pipeline server setup?

@vomitmachine nope 😅 all i've hot is an IIS server, API i made in visual studio (thats published fine) and webapp made in webstorm that i just cant find any documentation on how to publish 😅

@BitByteBoolean You should try to convince your coworkers to start work on a pipeline/build server. They're pretty useful. Aside from that, I'm not too familiar with webstorm. If you can import the project into Visual Studios I know you can right click the project file and create a publish profile. Honestly, if you don't have that pipeline shit setup, a local file system deploy usually works in the meantime. Just copy/paste your output binaries to the iis server.

@vomitmachine tried importing to VS but i couldnt figure out how, and as for local system deploy, webstorm dont seem to make either a bin/out folder when compiling, so cant even copy files from there and put into IIS :(

@BitByteBoolean Wait, if it needs to be compiled first, what language is it written in? Maybe Webstorm is the wrong IDE

@possum might not need to be compiled, havent tried publishing this type of project before :)

All i know is that webstorm dont seem to have a publish option, and also i get no bin/out folder when running the project.

Its just html/css with JS/jquery/ajax
