AutoPublisher

This XrmToolBox tool allows you to monitor the local file web resource file (.js, .html, etc.) or assembly .dll file and auto-deploy to Microsoft Dataverse environment upon any change (developed by Roman Kopaev).

When there is no unit testing and web resource/plug-in/custom workflow activity is being updated in a code editor to be deployed frequently for testing in the environment, it takes time to deploy using out-of-the-box functionality.

To quickly deploy whenever a change in the file, you can use this tool to monitor the local file and the tool will automatically deploy when the local web resource file is changed or the assembly .dll file is re-compiled upon building the changes.
