Custom deployment script is override by composer extension

Boaz Ron 1

Hi,

I'm trying to deploy a PHP website from bitbucket to a windows web app.
I have in my project root folder the ".deployment" and "deploy.cmd" files for my custom deployment script.

After installing the composer extension, this environment variable was added:
APPSETTING_COMMAND = D:\home\SiteExtensions\ComposerExtension\Hooks\deploy.cmd
and now the custom script is executing from this path and not from the repository root.

I couldn't find a way to remove or reset this variable and I need the composer extension to manage my app.
Any idea how to run the local deployment script?

Thanks,
Boaz

Thanks for asking question! If I have understood right you want App Service to run Composer at deployment time. If so, you need to include the Composer in your repository.

You may follow this official document: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/configure-language-php#run-composer

Let me know if issue persists.

Thanks for the answer, but this is not the case.

I want to run my custom script (and I might add the composer in it), but the deployment process ignores it, because the composer extension added
the environment variable.
Even if I remove the extension, the variable still stay and the .deployment is ignored.

Thanks for replying! After uninstalling Composer SiteExtension, this environment variable is still present:

APPSETTING_COMMAND = D:\home\SiteExtensions\ComposerExtension\Hooks\deploy.cmd.

You may try deleting the environment variable using kudu console and then deploy.
You may use the Kudu PowerShell command Remove-Item Env:\APPSETTING_COMMAND to remove the variable online. Also restart the App Service via the overview tab this will refresh the environment variables.

Thanks.

I managed to clear the value of APPSETTING_COMMAND only after removing the extension.

This solution force to manage the composer extension installation myself (something that is possible but not desired), and does not solve the main issue, that the extension override the manual deployment settings.

Any idea how keep the extension and have the manual deploy?
