AppHarbor's Background Worker runs unintentional EXE files
So I have shipped a couple of EXE files with my project and marked them to be copied to output upon compilation. the problem is that the Background Worker runs them for some reason and they don't simply exit with code 0 (since they take arguments) and the worker keeps retrying to run them. Is there any solution for this issue?
Thank you in advance!

Never mind, i was impatient. Found a solution here: https://support.appharbor.com/kb/getting-started/background-workers
Going to give it a shot now!

No. It didn't help since the exe files that I added are not in the source I upload, so I can't edit any .config files for them. Problem not solved!

Hi,
Ok so you could actually just add the configuration files matching the name of the executables to configure it using the approach outlined in the KB article. Have you tried that?
Another solution would be to add a
Procfile(currently in public beta) by specifying the executable to run like so:And put it in the root directory of the repository. This will instruct the background worker to only run the executables listed in the Procfile, which can also take arguments and have multiple executables per worker, e.g. like so:
Perhaps that'd be more convenient for your use case?
Best,
Rune

The Procfile worked correctly, thank!
I have another issue but this one is closed for now
