webapps-deploy: ZIP Deploy failed

I’ve enabled GitHub Actions for my Azure App Service Dev Slot, but it fails on the deployment step using the webapps-deploy action.

##[error]Failed to deploy web package to App Service.
##[error]Deployment Failed with Error: Package deployment using ZIP Deploy failed. Refer logs for more details.

If anyone is still getting this error, here is the solution and a desctiption of what likely caused the problem.

Before GitHub actions were a thing, we used Kudo directly from the Deployment Center of the App Service. However, becase our solution had multiple projects, we had to set a PROJECT configuration variable so Kudo would understand which project to deploy.

Since then, we have copied our app service configuration every time we set up a new site, including the PROJECT configuration variable. This variable is not required when using GitHub Actions, but is still used in Kudo, which is still the underlying framework for deploying your app when using azure/webapps-deploy@v2.

With the PROJECT configuration variable set, Kudo will add it as a parameter as visible in the log:

Using the following command to generate deployment script: 'azure site deploymentscript -y --no-dot-deployment -r "C:\local\Temp\zipdeploy\extracted" -o "C:\home\site\deployments\tools" --basic --sitePath "C:\local\Temp\zipdeploy\extracted\YOUR-PROJECT-VARIABLE"'.

In conclusion, just remove the PROJECT configuration variable from your App Service Configuration.

This also seems to be affecting Linux Web Apps.
