Azure Function Deployment for .csx files

Amardeep Aklujkar 26

Hi Team,
I am trying to deploy Azure function using zip push deployment method.
I have 2 triggers inside my function.
But changes which I have done to .csx files are not getting published to portal.
Please help.

Hi @Amardeep Aklujkar - Just to clarify & confirm, are you attempting to edit .csx files in Portal after publishing changes using the zip deployment method?

Hi @Mike Urnun
I am following below steps .

download (Azure function) app content from Azure portal

unzip all the app content

Do small change in .csx file

zip files after doing small change ( Log information content change)

use CI pipeline to drop(artifact) the changes

use CD (Deployment) pipeline to publish the changes via powershell command.

I am pushing the changes on same Resource Group but I am not able to see the changes which I have done in .csx file.

Please help.

Hi @Amardeep Aklujkar

I think there may be an issue in your CI/CD pipeline or the way the folders are structured in your zip file. If none of the two, could you check if you have Run from Package enabled? It's possible that your updated zip is being uploaded to d:\home\data\SitePackages and Function App is running off of it (instead of running off what's in wwwroot directory where Zip Deploy extracts your updated application files to).

Simplest way to determine what's happening is to use the Kudu tool: https://<Your-Function-App-Name>.scm.azurewebsites.net/

After a Zip Deployment is completed, you can navigate to the wwwroot directory on Kudu and check if it's reflecting your updated .csx file: https://<Your-Function-App-Name>.scm.azurewebsites.net/ZipDeployUI

If you see an updated .csx file on Kudu and Azure Portal simply isn't reflecting the same, that would mean a deeper issue, and at that point, opening a support case would be the best course of action.

Hi @Mike Urnun
Thanks
I am not able to see changes either in Kudo tool nor in function.

I am following below steps

I downloaded app content with visual studio from Azure portal

Changed Log information content in .csx file

Zip file using WinZip

use CI pipeline to push changes to drop folder

use PublishApp (Publish-AzWebapp -ResourceGroupName <group-name> -Name <app-name> -ArchivePath <zip-file-path>)

Do we need to build Azure function in visual studio ?
Am I missing something in initial steps ?

@Amardeep Aklujkar Make sure that you're building your dependencies prior to creating the .zip file. And If the content of the zip is good, I suspect that the issue is with the Publish-AzWebapp cmdlet -- do you get any error or success message after it's been run?
