No longer able to deploy a static file to Azure App Service Slot

Question

Hi, previously we were able to deploy a static file to an Azure App Service Slot using the following:

az webapp deploy --resource-group <group-name> --name <app-name> --slot uat --src-path test.txt --type static --target-path test.txt

Recently this stopped working and no file is deployed to the App Service Slot. There is no error message and it says it's succeeded (despite the missing file).

I'm not sure why it's no longer working and I'd appreciate any help.

@ee Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Apologize for the inconvenience caused by this.

To reproduce this behavior, I have tried to upload a static file abc.txt to the webapp (without specifying the target path) using the below cmdlet

az webapp deploy -g <ResourceGroupName> -n <WebappName> -s <slotName> --src-path "<pathoffileyouwanttoupload>" --target-path "<absoulte-pathtodestination>" --type static   

File upload Operation got successful and when I logged into my web app kudu console, I am able to see the file under /home instead of /home/site/wwwroot as mentioned in the documentation

I would request you to check whether the file is uploaded under /home from the kudu or try passing the absolute path to the --target-path property to the az webapp deploy cmdlet

Feel free to reach back to me if you have any further questions on this.
