Azure Web App Not Updated Despite Succesful Deployment

Question

I have deployed an Flask Web App via an Azure Devops Pipeline. When I commit on the main branch the Pipeline runs succesfully and I can see the updated python files in Kudu Debug Console in the wwwrooot.

However, the app does not reflect the changes. Namely, when I try to access a route via a get I still receive and old message which has been in the committ one week ago not the latest one.

I have tried to setup the app settings:

WEBSITE_DYNAMIC_CACHE = 0 and 
WEBSITE_LOCAL_CACHE_OPTION  = Never

I have not clue what is wrong. Any thoughts ?

Hi @pk

Those settings you listed above wouldn't have any affect. Local Cache on App Service primary use is for storing content in a durable manner as your app scales in and out. Without a code snippet or logs, it's difficult to say what the issue could be. I would highly suggest enabling logging and add some additional around those regions.

Having said that, I personally would take these actions:

• Use my browser's Developer tools to inspect the content it's pulled from the website and check for differences. I would also do a hard refresh.
• Clear any cached site data from website.
• Restart the app service.

Based off what worked or didn't work would help me determine how to further investigate.
