Publish on TFS does not find the pubxml file for Node.js test project

I created a Node.js project for an protractor test environment using the Node.js Tools to test a web application on a team foundation server. The test project and the web application are in one solution file. However, if i want to deploy the Node.js project on the tfs, it is not able to find the pubxml file located in the web application project.

Error log:
