Last deployment - Could not retrieve deployments | What could be the problem?

Question

It is my first time to set and deploy Blazor app on azure through CI/CD.

Deployment Center:

Settings:
I'm signed in, Repository name is there

Logs:

Status(Success(Active)) Message(OneDeploy)

However, on 'Overview' -> 'Deployment Center' I got error 'Could not retrieve deployments'.

CI file:
name: .NET Core

on: [push]

env:

AZURE_WEBAPP_NAME: APPLICATIONNAME # set this to your application's name

AZURE_WEBAPP_PACKAGE_PATH: '.' # set this to the path to your web app project, defaults to the repository root

DOTNET_VERSION: '6.0' # set this to the dot net version to use

jobs:

build:

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:

  # Checkout the repo

  - uses: actions/checkout@main

  # Login to Azure

  - uses: azure/login@v1

    with:

      creds: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}

  # Setup .NET Core SDK

  - name: Setup .NET Core

    uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v3

    with:

      dotnet-version: ${{ env.DOTNET_VERSION }} 


  

  # Run dotnet build and publish

  - name: dotnet build and publish

    run: |

      dotnet restore

      dotnet build --configuration Release

      dotnet publish -c Release --property:PublishDir='${{ env.AZURE_WEBAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}/'


      

  # Deploy to Azure Web Apps

  - name: 'Run Azure webapp deploy action using Azure Credentials'

    uses: azure/webapps-deploy@v3

    with: 

      app-name: ${{ env.AZURE_WEBAPP_NAME }}

      package: '${{ env.AZURE_WEBAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}/'  # Make sure this matches the output of the publish step

      slot-name: production

  # Logout from Azure

Question 1: In the overview, there is a 'Default Domain' link. Why, when I click on the link, does it by default show the .NET Microsoft Azure welcome app? Question 2: In the '/wwwroot/' path, my entire project is present, including: ProjectName/ProjectName.sln. Isn't it supposed to only contain the compiled version, such as 'ProjectName.exe'? Question 3: The 'Web App:Name ' is different from the 'ProjectName' is that causing a problem? Thank you in advance, Maryan

Hi Marjan, Greetings!

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for reaching out & I hope you are doing well.

Default Domain Showing Azure Welcome Page: This usually happens if the deployment didn't succeed, the app is not running correctly, or the published files are not in the right location. Try restarting the Web App and checking deployment logs in GitHub Actions.

Entire Project in /wwwroot/: dotnet publish command is placing the full project instead of just the compiled output. check the workflow publishes to a separate directory (e.g., ${{ runner.temp }}/publish) and deploys only that folder.

Different Web App Name vs. Project Name: The names don’t need to match. Just check the GitHub Actions workflow correctly references the Azure Web App name (AZURE_WEBAPP_NAME) as listed in the Azure portal.

Hope this helps.
