Azure Web App creation just hangs on last step (validating)

Question

Azure Web App creation just hangs on last step (validating)

Rodriguez, Humberto 6

Hi Team,

I am currently going over the learning path for AZ-204 Certification.
As part of the following course
I am supposed to create a new function app, however when creating the function app, azure is stuck in the Validating step at the end of the wizard and not progressing any further as shown in this picture:

The sandbox has already expired after 4 hours and the function app never got created.
Kindly requesting assitance to figure out how to proceed here.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Humberto.

Hi, I am also following the same training and module and got the same issue. The 'create' button is disabled and the link to download does not work (nothing is triggered).

LInk to the step in that training module:

Hi,
The same situation is here.
I'm creating a Web App following the AZ-400 modules.
Download template URL also doesn't work in any kind.
Thanks.

Same issue, after hours of waiting I had to search in the internet to figure out that the error is not directly visible. for a non programmer not understandable.

I face the same issue, just go to the basic tab and check ifyou have selected right resource group and other details. Once done it should be created without any issue.

Hi,

Found answer. Had the same issue when creating function app. After checking Dev tools I saw JS error:

"Cannot read property 'resource Id' of null at n_getAppInsightsResourceJson"

I checked out fields in the form and I left"storage account" and "application insight" fields to be created by default.
Storage account had name "(new)storageaccountxxx". To resolve issue I had to click on the link below field and manually create a storage account and application insight. After creating manually both of the fields, no error was found in the dev tools and function app was created successfully

Thanks

Thank you!!! This solved my issue.
I went back and manually created the Storage Account and Application Insights, and then the validation worked.

Hi Jaya,

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately, I am unable to click on that link.
I have tried, right-click, Ctrl + click, normal click, and absolutely nothing happens.
Any thoughts?

Thanks!!

Humberto
