azure-pipelines-tasks: Azure App Service Deploy 4.3.0 zip deploy broken

Environment

Server - VSTS
Agent - Private (ubuntu-16.04)

Issue Description

Using Azure App Service Deploy 4.3.0 task to deploy a package does not work. This appears to be a regression in 4.3.0 since we have successful deployments using version 4.2.9.

I Solve the problem adding this to the application settings.

I am also seeing issues with zip deploy and version 4.3.7. The deployment process was working last Friday, but now I get a vague error “Failed to deploy web package to App Service. Bad Request (CODE: 400)”. I updated the VSTS Azure App Service Deploy task to use version 3 but then see a different error: "An error was encountered when processing operation ‘Create Directory’ on D:\home\site\wwwroot\bin. The error code was 0x800703E6. Invalid access to memory location’.

I too am now seeing this same issue when using zip deploy and version 4.3.7. I know it was working as recent as the 16th without issue.

Same problem here, I had my pipeline configured one month ago, but since 3 or 4 hours ago started to fail in web app deploys(version 4.3.7)… it throw me:

2018-10-22T18:58:23.3366444Z ##[error]Failed to deploy web package to App Service. 2018-10-22T18:58:23.3377987Z ##[error]Error: Error: Failed to deploy web package to App Service. Bad Request (CODE: 400)

I create a new web app in azure and i have the result. Please need help with this… whats is happening?

Hi.

I’m getting the same issue here. My azure devops version is running version 4.* - here’s my yaml:

steps:
- task: AzureRmWebAppDeployment@4
  displayName: 'Azure App Service Deploy'
  inputs:
    azureSubscription: 'xxx'
    WebAppName: xxx
    deployToSlotOrASE: true
    ResourceGroupName: xxx
    SlotName: staging

I also observe that if I try to manually do a zip deploy through kudu, that just hangs on “fetching changes”. I observed this on another deployment slot and the only workaround there was to delete the entire deployment slot and recreate it - then it worked fine. But I’d rather not spend days removing and recreating deployment slots.

@darewreck54

Add the setting to the application settings of your App Service.

g2udevelopment on Oct 23, 2018

So, A work around for anyone one else who may have this weird issue, here’s what I did:

On the Azure App Service Deploy task in your VSTS definition, Select Version 3.*, dropping down from 4. *(preview)
In Azure, drop the App Service resource group
Recreate the App Service resource group in Azure, either manually or through ARM templates
In VSTS, Create a new release and deploy
The release should now succeed

It seems to have something to do with the compatibility of the Azure App Service Deploy 4.*(preview) VSTS task and the Azure App Service. Common sense assumption is the App Service Deploy preview version has gotten further ahead of the now much older version of the App Service that was deployed to Azure some time ago. Selecting a stable version of App Service Deploy VSTS task and deploying a more current App Service seems to resolve the issue.
