# AUTHOR:

# PURPOSE: 
# A workaround to force New Relic to release the DLL on an Azure Website, accomplished by toggling profiling on/off. 
# This script must be run before and after the actual deploy, assuming that profiling is enabled at the beginning.

# PRECONDITIONS:
# $azureWebsiteName is an existing Website of the current subscription
# COR_ENABLE_PROFILING is an existent app setting

Param(  
	$azureWebsiteName = ""
)

function setSettings($appSettings, $key, $value) {
	$appSettings[$key] = $value
}

function toggleProfiling($appSettings) {
	$PROFILING_SETTING = "COR_ENABLE_PROFILING"
	$isProfilingEnabled = $appSettings[$PROFILING_SETTING]

	if ($isProfilingEnabled -eq "1") {
		Write-Verbose "Disabling profiling..."
		setSettings $appSettings $PROFILING_SETTING "0"
	} else {
		Write-Verbose "Enabling profiling..."
		setSettings $appSettings $PROFILING_SETTING "1"
	} 
}

$site = Get-AzureWebsite -Name $azureWebsiteName
$appSettings = $site.AppSettings

toggleProfiling $appSettings

Set-AzureWebsite -Name $azureWebsiteName -AppSettings $appSettings
