Publish-AzWebApp: Could not find a part of the path for mac os file system

Question

Hello,

So this question seems to have a fix for Windows machines but there hasn't been one specific for Mac.

When I run the Powershell Publish-AzWebApp command for deploying a war file to App service with an Path from my local machine, the error is as follows:

Publish-AzWebApp: Could not find a part of the path '/Users/rishig/Downloads/app/filename.zip'.

The input command entered looks like this :

Publish-AzWebapp -ResourceGroupName SampleName -Name ZNAME -ArchivePath /Users/rishig/Downloads/app/filename.zip

I've verified the file path on my local machine to be accurate. Is there something missing in the filepath parameters or the way it's structured or anything else at all ?

Thanks in advance for any help in regards to this.

Hello there,

According to the exception, it indicates that there is no related path in the Azure. If it is possible, we could remote debug Azure Web Apps. Then we could get the file path. After that we could use the Azure kudu(https://yoursite.scm.azurewebsites.net) tool to check whether the path is existing.

If the file path is not existing, we could drag the folder to the kudu tool directly or we also could publish the folder with Visual Studio. After that, it should work.
