Question

I am trying to deploy a node app from a subdirectory using Github Actions,

BJ Klingenberg 0

I created a .deployment file, but the azure deployment command still looks like this: Using cached version of deployment script (command: 'azure -y --no-dot-deployment -r "/tm...). The deployment is deploying from my root directory and not the subdirectory. Here is my .deployment file:

[config]

project = expressjs-backend

do I need to do anything else to force deployment of my subdirectory?

@BJ Klingenberg Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused pm this.

Could you please confirm whether are you deploying your node application to Azure app service or any other Azure service?

If you are using the Azure app service and you are enabling the GitHub actions in it as a source control then in the select repository an master_<appName>.yml file will be generated not the .deployment file.

if you are using app service with github action you can refer to this documentation on how to configure github actions with app service.

I'm deploying to the Aure App Service. I do not see a master_<applname>.yml file and am using the github action successfully in another project. I used the 'deploy via Azure portal' instructions. Do i need to create my own master_<appname>.yml file? Will that file be deployed when I deploy my app? thanks.
