How to deploy war to the ROOT of tomcat using GitHub Action?

Question

I am using GitHub Action to deploy the WAR to Web Apps in Azure. The YAML for build and deploy:

- name: Build with gradle
        run: ./gradlew build

      - name: Azure WebApp
        uses: Azure/webapps-deploy@v2
        with:
          app-name: <my-app-name>
          publish-profile: ${<!-- -->{ secrets.AZURE_WEBAPP_PUBLISH_PROFILE }}
          package: build/libs/*.war

It works, but I have to visit the website with the name of the WAR (i.e, <my-name-name>.azurewebsites.net/<war-name>)

So, how can I deploy the WAR to ROOT directly?

Answer 1

Just rename it to ROOT.war. Add the following between build and deploy:

- name: rename to ROOT  
        run: mv build/libs/*.war build/libs/ROOT.war
