Question

"The operation was aborted" during deployment. How do I get more information on this?

Barry Spencer 0

I have an ExpressJS project I built using the guides at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/nodejs/nodejs-tutorial

When I deploy to Azure, sometimes everything works great. But sometimes I get "The operation was aborted." The last thing in the output is usually something about npm, such as "using npm version" or "running npm install."

First, in the general case, how do I get information about why the operation was aborted? What failed this time? I just try again and again and eventually it works, and after it works it will stay working for a while.

Second, why does determining the npm version take so long? Sometimes there are just 1 or 2 seconds between "using npm version" and the version number, but sometimes it can take 20 seconds. I understand an npm install might take a while but not picking a version.

@Barry Spencer Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

Based on the shared information, I understand that you are trying to deploying the nodejs application from visual studio code to app service. Sometimes the deployment is getting failed stating that "The Operation was aborted".
In that case, you can review the log stream logs or deployment logs of the app service to understand better.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions on this.

Streaming Logs are good for seeing bugs in my application or why it failed to launch.

I've downloaded the logs from /api/dump. I have a few file types:_docker.log: seems to be about the docker container itself, might be useful for some cases but not here.

_default_docker.log shows the stdout of my application. Good for figuring out bugs but not deployment issues.

_default_scm_docker.log: this looks like my output console where I see "the operation was aborted" but without the abort message. From that side it looked like it completed.

Does "Aborted" mean the deployment failed or that my connection to it faled?

@Barry Spencer Thanks for your follow-up questions, you need to look at the deployments logs as the issue while deploying the code.

you will find the deployment under the below path as mentioned here in the documentation.

Does "Aborted" mean the deployment failed or that my connection to it faled?

it usually means that deployment was stopped or interrupted before it complete might be happened due to various reasons such as network connectivity issues, insufficient permissions or a problem with deployment package itself.
