Unable to move from a Free to Standard plan unless using Github

Peter Graham 1

I have created an Azure Static Web App using a free plan. The app is working fine, but I need custom authentication. The app is deployed from a repo hosted in Azure Devops.

When trying to change the hosting plan from Free to Standard using the Azure Portal, I get the following error message:

RepositoryURL is invalid. The repository url must be a github repository

I know that support for repos other than Github is a reasonably new feature, so is this an oversight? Or just not supported yet?

Hi @Peter Graham

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. This is odd behavior. We will check internally with the engineering team to see if this is a known issue

But yes, you should be able to move to a Standard plan in the Azure portal using these steps:

-Navigate to your Static Web Apps resource in the Azure portal.
-Under the Settings menu, select Hosting plan.
-Select the hosting plan you want for your static web app.
-Select Save.

Thanks,
Grace

Hi @Peter Graham ,

This is a know issue. There is a fix rolling out that will fix this, but that fix may take some time. Can you try using this az cli:

az staticwebapp update -n your-app-name --sku Standard

This is available in the 2.23.0 version of az cli. Please let us know if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Grace

Hi @Grmacjon-MSFT , thanks for informing it's a known issue.

Unfortunately your recommendation didn't work and I was unable to change the SKU using the cli. The following error was received:

Operation returned an invalid status 'Bad Request'

I have tested with az cli 2.23.0 and 2.24.2.

However, I was able to change the SKU using the portal after disconnecting the source control from the app.

az staticwebapp disconnect -n your-app-name

Thanks for the feedback, @Peter Graham !

We are still working on a fix but in the meantime please perform the following steps to change the hosting plan for an app that isn't linked to GitHub:
• Disconnect the app from source control by running the following Azure CLI command:
• az staticwebapp disconnect -n $APP_NAME -g $RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME
• Use the portal to change the app's hosting plan.
• The above steps resets the app's deployment token. Obtain the deployment token from the portal and update the Azure Pipelines variable with this value.

Please let us know if you run into any other issues or errors.

Thanks,
Grace
