I'm deploying an ASP.NET Core 8 MVC appm, deployed to an Azure web app using Azure DevOps. The pipeline runs without errors, but the latest changes don't show up on the live site, even though the commit is correct and the build artifact seems to be generated properly.
Here are the most relevant parts of my pipeline YAML:
trigger:
- master
pool:
vmImage: 'windows-latest'
variables:
- name: solution
value: '**/*.sln'
- name: buildConfiguration
value: 'Release'
- name: outputPath
value: '$(build.artifactStagingDirectory)/WebApp'
- name: webAppZip
value: 'WebApp_$(Build.BuildNumber).zip'
steps:
- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
displayName: 'Build the project'
inputs:
command: 'build'
projects: '$(solution)'
arguments: '--configuration $(buildConfiguration) --no-restore'
- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
displayName: 'Publish ASP.NET Core MVC project'
inputs:
command: 'publish'
projects: '**/*.csproj'
arguments: '--configuration $(buildConfiguration) --output $(outputPath) --no-restore'
- task: ArchiveFiles@2
displayName: 'Zip publish folder for deployment'
inputs:
rootFolderOrFile: '$(outputPath)'
archiveFile: '$(outputPath)/$(webAppZip)'
- task: AzureCLI@2
displayName: 'Enable cleanup of old files'
inputs:
azureSubscription: 'Your-Service-Connection'
scriptType: 'bash'
scriptLocation: 'inlineScript'
inlineScript: |
az webapp config set \
--name QA-app\
--resource-group app \
--generic-configurations "{\"WEBSITE_CLEANUP_FILES\":\"1\"}"
- task: AzureWebApp@1
displayName: 'Deploy to Azure Web App'
inputs:
azureSubscription: 'Your-Service-Connection'
appType: 'webApp'
appName: 'Your-App-Name'
package: '$(outputPath)/$(webAppZip)'
deploymentMethod: zipDeploy
Despite all of this, the deployed app still shows the old version.
What I've tried:
appsettings.json
is transformed correctlyWhat could be causing the deployed app not to reflect the latest build?
Switching from zipping with ArchiveFiles@2 to dotnet publish
made the deployment of the web app successful.
