How to enable az webapp deploy in a pipeline

Reuben Cummings 55

When running an Azure pipeline to deploy my function app via az webapp deploy, I get the error, "This API isn't available in this environment yet".

How do I enable it?

Hey,

It's possible the resource is not found, looking at the Azure CLI https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli/blob/dev/src/azure-cli/azure/cli/command_modules/appservice/custom.py on lines 6995-69997:

It mentions the metadata for this error is a '404' - ResourceNotFound.

Does this deploy if you try outside the pipeline, in your account context? Has it ever worked? Double check the Azure CLI parameters and that everything is correct.

If that was the issue, let me know, and I'll convert this into an answer so you can mark it as the accepted solution.

Dan, yes it works (occasionally) when using the deprecated az webapp deployment source config-zip command. Often times it doesn't work and just times out. But that's another issue.

I've only seen weird timeouts with the backend SCM/kudu when I don't have public endpoints on, or haven't put the ADO agent IP into the allowed IPs. Alternatively, when the app is actually down/stopped etc. I presume the logs don't offer much help? There is quite a help diagnostic tool now available in preview which I find useful in helping me with these odd issues.

On the Web App, under 'Tags' you should have 'Diagnose and solve problems'. In the search you can type 'deployment' and you'll have two options which may help you out?

I tried Build and Release info on a past failed build and it wasn't able to pull it in. Kept saying no builds available for the date, or something like that. The failure analysis isn't available for on demand subscriptions. I'll try again next time I get a time out error. The run I just completed succeeded.

Here's the script I'm using. The commented out line works while the line below errs with "This API isn't available in this environment yet"

- task: AzureCLI@2
  displayName: Deploy Function App via CLI
  inputs:
    azureSubscription: ${{ env.subscriptionConnectionName }}
    scriptType: 'bash'
    scriptLocation: 'inlineScript'
    inlineScript: |
      # az webapp deployment source config-zip --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" --name "$APP_NAME" --src "$SOURCE_PATH"
      az webapp deploy --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" --name "$APP_NAME" --src-path "$SOURCE_PATH"

What about trying the built-in ADO deployment task 'AzureFunctionApp@2':

@Reuben Cummings az webapp deploy --resource-group "$RESOURCE_GROUP" --name "$APP_NAME" --src-path "$SOURCE_PATH" --type zip
