We are trying to deploy a asp.net webapi project to an Azure app service but I cannot get it to deploy.
I am using VSTS (Visual Studio Team System) with an Azure App Service Deploy build task and for the "Package or Folder" setting, I have tried
$(BUILD_ARTIFACTSTAGINGDIRECTORY)/MyApp.Api.zip Which gives me the error message
2017-03-23T15:04:11.8345272Z ##[error]Error: Not found files: C:\a\1\s\$(BUILD_ARTIFACTSTAGINGDIRECTORY)\MyApp.Api.zip
I noticed in the Publish Artifact build step, it is copying from "C:\a\1\a\MyApp.Api.zip" to upload to "drop\MyApp.Api.zip:
Which has an "a" for the last folder and not an "s".
If I try $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)***.zip I get this error No matching files were found with search pattern: C:\a\1\s***.zip
As a temporary workaround, I set the 'Package or Folder' value to
C:\a\1\a\MyApp.Api.zip
which works but is rather fragile since its not a build variable and I can't rely on the build agent using the same exact generated folder structure.
Does anyone have any idea why this isn't working for me and/or why this seems so hard and not well documented? Is this really easy and I'm just a little slow today?
Thanks for your help!
