Include static files in Azure WebJob's publish-settings.json

Question

Is it possible to specify in a WebJob's webjob-publish-settings.json file that a folder of static/flat files should be included?

Update: As per @davidebbo's suggestion, I've tried modifying the .csproj file, but without success.

<Target Name="BeforeBuild">
    <ItemGroup>
        <Content Include="$(ProjectDir)\Templates\*.xslt" />
    </ItemGroup>
</Target>

I've tried both BeforeBuild and AfterBuild, and with/without the $(ProjectDir) variable, but the folder never appears in the bin directory.

Are you using .Net? If so, is it ASP.NET 5/Core or 4.5? – Matias Quaranta Mar 21 '16 at 15:15 — Matias Quaranta, Mar 21 '16 at 15:15

It is not something you can do using webjob-publish-settings.json. Instead, you can do this by setting the 'Copy to Output Directory' property of the relevant files to Copy always or Copy if newer.

Thanks, I suspected this was the case but held out hope that there might be a way to at least do it at folder level rather than for each file. – awj Mar 22 '16 at 08:09
I wonder if there is some way of doing this at the csproj level, along the lines of http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2551107/is-there-a-way-to-automatically-include-content-files-into-asp-net-project-file – David Ebbo Mar 24 '16 at 00:40
