- Check Resource Utilization: Verify that the agent machine running the Azure File Copy task has sufficient resources (CPU, memory, and disk space). You can enable verbose logging to check resource utilization metrics.
- Review Configuration: Since you mentioned that the upload works with AzureFileCopy@3 but fails with AzureFileCopy@6, verify if there are any breaking changes or additional required configurations in the newer version. Sometimes, new versions introduce changes that may affect how tasks are executed.
- Container Naming: Ensure that the container name is correctly specified. In your case, it appears to be correctly quoted but double-check for any extra spaces or incorrect characters.
- Network Issues: If you're using a self-hosted agent, ensure that there are no network issues affecting the connection to Azure Blob Storage. This includes checking firewall settings and ensuring that the necessary IP addresses are allowed.
- AzCopy Version: check the version of AzCopy being used is important, as compatibility issues can arise with different versions of the Azure File Copy task. Ensuring that the correct version of AzCopy is installed can resolve many upload issues.
- Check Logs for More Details: Look into the detailed logs generated during the build process to identify any specific errors, warnings that could provide more context about the failure.
it might help to assign appropriate roles to the service principal or managed identity (e.g., Storage Blob Data Contributor) when using AzureFileCopy@6. This aligns with the behavior changes introduced in newer versions.
