azure-cli: Unable to zip deploy a function app in the Azure Cloud Shell (version 2.29.0)

Deploying a zip file to both existing functionapp and new functionapp is not working and throws an unexpected error. Command format is az functionapp deployment source config-zip -g $ResourceGroup -n $appname --src $filename This format is as documented at ms documentation

Note this process has worked previously. All variables were checked for valid values, process appears to start and then error is thrown.

Command Name az functionapp deployment source config-zip

Errors:

The command failed with an unexpected error. Here is the traceback:

Work around for Ubuntu 20.04

      - script: |
          sudo apt-get remove azure-cli
          curl -sL https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/microsoft.gpg > /dev/null
          echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/azure-cli/ $(lsb_release -cs) main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/azure-cli.list
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install azure-cli=2.28.0-1~$(lsb_release -cs)
          az version

thanks @al-cheb

For Azure DevOps on an Ubuntu20.04 agent this worked in my case (it updated the cli to 2.29.1): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/cli/azure-devops-cli-in-yaml?view=azure-devops#hosted-agent-azure-cli-version

# Update to latest Azure CLI version
- bash: pip install --pre azure-cli --extra-index-url https://azurecliprod.blob.core.windows.net/edge
  displayName: 'Upgrade Azure CLI'

We have been able to work around this issue by substituting the current az functionapp deployment source config-zip -g $ResourceGroup -n $appname --src $filename with… Publish-AzWebapp -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroup -Name $appname -ArchivePath $filename

NOTE: We are unsure if this deploys the package differently at this time, however it allows us to at least deploy with minimal changes to our existing scripts.
