Azure Static Web App returns 404

Question

I created Azure Static Web App back in 2020 when static apps were in preview. Since then my static site worked fine until today when I found out it returns 404. I can't even tell for how long site was broken (not really checking it too often). My site consist of single hand-made index.html, css and couple of other files.

I tried to redeploy, GitHub actions doesn't reveal anything suspicious:

(for version with staticwebapp.config.json I'm of course getting output regarding detection of new config and not using routes.json; at the beginning, I was using preview version of Azure/static-web-apps-deploy but now having v1)

My current routes.json looks like this:

{  
  "routes": [  
  {  
    "route": "/*",  
    "serve": "/index.html",  
    "statusCode": 200  
  }],  
  "defaultHeaders": {  
    "content-security-policy": "default-src https: 'unsafe-eval' 'unsafe-inline' cdn.jsdelivr.net *.mapy.cz",  
    "x-frame-options": "deny",  
    "feature-policy": "accelerometer 'none'; camera 'none'; geolocation 'none'; gyroscope 'none'; magnetometer 'none'; microphone 'none'; payment 'none'; usb 'none'",  
    "permissions-policy": "accelerometer=(), camera=(), geolocation=(), gyroscope=(), magnetometer=(), microphone=(), payment=(), usb=()"  
  }  
}  

I just discovered routes.json is deprecated and staticwebapp.config.json should be used (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/static-web-apps/configuration) - so I created:

{  
  "routes": [  
    {  
      "route": "/example",  
      "rewrite": "/example.html"  
    }  
  ],  
  "navigationFallback": {  
    "rewrite": "index.html",  
    "exclude": [".well-known/*", "css/*"]  
  },  
  "globalHeaders": {  
    "Content-Security-Policy": "default-src https: 'unsafe-eval' 'unsafe-inline' cdn.jsdelivr.net *.mapy.cz",  
    "Feature-Policy": "accelerometer 'none'; camera 'none'; geolocation 'none'; gyroscope 'none'; magnetometer 'none'; microphone 'none'; payment 'none'; usb 'none'",  
    "Permissions-Policy": "accelerometer=(), camera=(), geolocation=(), gyroscope=(), magnetometer=(), microphone=(), payment=(), usb=()",  
    "X-Frame-Options": "deny"  
  }  
}  

... but even with this setup, it still doesn't work and I'm getting 404.

Structure of my repository is following:

/  
├─ .github/  
│  ├─ azure-static...yml  
├─ public/  
│  ├─ .well-known/  
│  │  ├─ security.txt  
│  ├─ css/  
│  │  ├─ style.css  
│  ├─ index.html  
│  ├─ robots.txt  
│  ├─ routes.json  
│  ├─ staticwebapp.config.json  
├─ .gitignore  

My GitHub actions job looks like this - notice app_location to be set to "public" - matching public directory name where my static content is:

jobs:  
  build_and_deploy_job:  
    if: github.event_name == 'push' || (github.event_name == 'pull_request' && github.event.action != 'closed')  
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest  
    name: Build and Deploy Job  
    steps:  
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2  
        with:  
          submodules: true  
      - name: Build And Deploy  
        id: builddeploy  
        uses: Azure/static-web-apps-deploy@v1  
        with:  
          azure_static_web_apps_api_token: ${ secrets.AZURE_STATIC_WEB_APPS_API_TOKEN_YADA_YADA_YADA }  
          repo_token: ${ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN } # Used for Github integrations (i.e. PR comments)  
          action: "upload"  
          ###### Repository/Build Configurations ######  
          app_location: "public"  
          ###### End of Repository/Build Configurations ######  

Could anyone help me figure out what am I doing wrong, what do I miss?

Answer 1

I wasn't able to solve it, technical support was clueless. The easiest option is to just ditch your old deployment and start with new one.
