Question

azure python function vs code deployment is not using current zip file

david shephard 0

1:11:37 PM drsCRUD: [Kudu-SourcePackageUriDownloadStep] Skipping download. Zip package is present at /tmp/zipdeploy/98989a2b-ae3c-486c-919e-70572b8aba90.zip

Current function files do not reflect current files in folder.

This started yesterday. Before that no issues with function deployments. 

I thought this might be associated with the portal issue, but the portal issues seems to be resolved. My deployment issue is still an issue.

Happening in both function apps

Hi david shephard,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum

Make sure your local files are current Confirm that all the files in your project directory reflect the latest changes you intend to deploy. This includes any updates to your function logic, configuration files, or dependencies.

Verify key function files Pay special attention to the init.py file and other essential function files. These should contain the correct and updated code for your Azure Functions to run as expected.

Check App Settings for Deployment Conflicts

Ensure that your function app settings are not causing conflicts

Disable Run-From-Package

Check SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENT

If you're deploying Python code, ensure that SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENT is set to true to ensure dependencies are installed during deployment.

Check WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE

Fix: Remove and re-add the WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE app setting or update it to point to the correct ZIP if using SAS URLs. Redeploy after clearing

Still not working.

Why am I getting this in output?

It appears that the latest zip file is not being downloaded to Azure.

To be clear, there have been no changes to the config on this function app or the other function app.

Tried adding files to function with no success.

Hi david shephard,

Open Kudu Console

Go to your Function App in the Azure Portal.
In the left menu, click on Development Tools > Advanced Tools (Kudu) and then click Go.

Alternatively, go directly to: https://<your-function-app-name>.scm.azurewebsites.net/DebugConsole

Navigate to the Folder

In the Kudu Debug Console, navigate to /tmp/zipdeploy (on Linux/Consumption) or D:\home\data\SitePackages (on Windows).
You can do this by typing the path into the text box above the file browser and hitting Enter.

Delete the ZIP Files

Find the ZIP files you wish to delete (those left from old or problematic deployments).
Click the trash icon next to each .zip file, or check boxes and select "Delete" at the top.

Restart Function App

Go back to the Azure Portal and restart your Function App (click "Restart" at the top).
This step ensures that the application is restarted and no longer references old, deleted deployment artifacts.
