Converting a pipeline from classic to YAML (so I know it works).
I build and my publish artifact task looks like this:
- task: PublishPipelineArtifact@1
displayName: 'Publish Pipeline Artifact'
inputs:
targetPath: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/MyArtifact'
artifact: MyArtifact
The result when build looks like this:
I then want to deploy this to a webapp YAML:
- stage: Dev
jobs:
- job: DeployApp
displayName: Deploy Web App
pool:
name: myPrivate
demands: msbuild
steps:
- task: DownloadPipelineArtifact@2
inputs:
artifact: MyArtifact
- task: AzureRmWebAppDeployment@4
displayName: 'Deploy App'
inputs:
WebAppKind: 'Web App On Windows'
azureSubscription: 'edited out...'
WebAppName: webAppName
package: '$(System.ArtifactsDirectory)'
enableXmlTransform: true
Which results in this output in Azure DevOps:
A difference in chunks but since size match very exactly I'm happy.
I then get error on the deployment so I started look in Kudo and can see that in SitePackages all my packages are 1 kb (or empty...). I expected 61.2 MB.
I took my working classic deployment, and there i had this row:
packageForLinux:'$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/_MyArtifact/MyArtifact/MyApplication.zip'
But that path wasn't even found. And packageForLinux felt wrong but doesn't matter as I understand it.
So can someone please me in the right direction how to deploy a web app (on windows) using YAML?
$(Pipeline.Workspace)
, not$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)
, the default folder is different for different tasks, so you can't always trust they extract to the default working directory. – jessehouwing
