Facing issue in deploying .net application to web app to azure

Question

Hi Team,

I have written a buid and deployment pipeline to deploy a .net application to a web app in azure.

Hi Team,

I have written build and deployment pipelines to deploy a .net application on web app. Build pieline is producing artefact but deployment pipeline is erroring. Below are details in pipelines and error/s.

Below is yml code for build pipeline -

trigger:

• main

stages:

• stage: Build jobs:
  • job: Build pool: vmImage: 'windows-latest' variables: solution: '**/*.sln' buildPlatform: 'Any CPU' buildConfiguration: 'Release' steps:
    • task: NuGetToolInstaller@1
    • task: NuGetCommand@2 inputs: restoreSolution: '$(solution)'
    • task: VSBuild@1 inputs: solution: '$(solution)' msbuildArgs: '/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:WebPublishMethod=Package /p:PackageAsSingleFile=true /p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true /p:DesktopBuildPackageLocation="$(build.artifactStagingDirectory)\WebApp.zip" /p:DeployIisAppPath="Default Web Site"' platform: '$(buildPlatform)' configuration: '$(buildConfiguration)'
    • task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1 inputs: PathtoPublish: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)' ArtifactName: 'drop' publishLocation: 'Container'

Below is yml code for deployment pipeline -

trigger: none

resources:

pipelines:

• pipeline: AppPackage source: salilrbl24.UpdatedPipelineTest branch: main trigger: branches:
  • main

pool:

vmImage: windows-latest

jobs:

• deployment: DeployWeb displayName: deploy Web App

  Creates an environment if it doesn't exist.

  environment: 'main' strategy:

  Default deployment strategy, more coming...

  runOnce:

    deploy:
    
    
     steps:
    
    
     - task: DownloadBuildArtifacts@0
    
    
       displayName: download
    
    
       inputs:

        downloadType: specific
    
    
        artifactName: 'drop'
    
    
        downloadPath: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)'
    
    
     - task: AzureRmWebAppDeployment@4
    
    
       displayName: deploy
    
    
       inputs:
    
    
        ConnectionType: 'AzureRM'
    
    
        azureSubscription: 'name of subscription'
    
    
        appType: 'webApp'
    
    
        WebAppName: 'webappsal'
    
    
        packageForLinux: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/*.zip'
