azure-pipelines-tasks: Azure Function deploy fails with The user name or password is incorrect

Environment

I’m using VSTS

Account name: stamp-dev
Release name: Stamp BigBro
Release number: BigBro-Dev-30
Agent: Hosted Agent (2.129.1)

Issue Description

I use Azure Service App Deploy to deploy an Azure Function to my Azure environment, and I keep on getting an error saying that username & password are incorrect.

If I delete the Azure Function and I create it again, the deployment works the first one/two times, than I get the same error.

This error usually happens if you delete or regenerate the keys for the storage account associated with the function app. The one defined in the WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING App Settings for the functionapp.

If you deleted that storage account, you can try recreating it and updating the app settings that point to it. Check for WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING, AzureWebJobsDashboard, AzureWebJobsStorage

If you just regenerated the keys for that account, then update the connection strings in the App Settings for your app.

I have been having the same issues here today. After reading the above and the troubleshooting issues document I know what I have done wrong, but it would be nice if the error handling on publish provided a meaningful error and also the Azure Portal could do some validation to stop you from removing required configuration settings. I normally created Azure Functions using my Web App resources, but today ran out of available resources so made one under the consumption plan. I copied my configuration from an existing Azure Function, which caused the issue.

So my problem was due to the fact that the task for replacing the variables was deleting WEBSITE_CONTENTSHARE and WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING. So the first time VSTS was able to deploy because the variables where there, the task to set the variables was executed after…so the second time it was failing because of the missing variables.

@ahmelsayed I’ve a task to add variables to the AppSettings, but the task removes all the variables so I’m missing WEBSITE_CONTENTAZUREFILECONNECTIONSTRING. Do you think that could be the problem?
