[SOLVED] Azure function publish profile is REDACTED so deployment fails

Azure function publish profile is REDACTED so deployment fails

I have an azure function project that cannot be deployed using github functions. The warnings and errors I get are these:

STEP: Build and Publish:

STEP: Deploy to Azure Functions

Run Azure/functions-action@v1
with:
app-name: core-api
package: ./publish
publish-profile: ***
respect-funcignore: true
scm-do-build-during-deployment: false
enable-oryx-build: false
respect-pom-xml: false
remote-build: false
env:
AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_NAME: core-api
AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PACKAGE_PATH: .
DOTNET_VERSION: 8.0.x
CONFIGURATION: Release
DOTNET_CORE_VERSION: 8.0.x
WORKING_DIRECTORY: .
DOTNET_ROOT: C:\Program Files\dotnet

Error: Deployment Failed!

At some point I realized that when I copy and pasted the publish profile, all credentials are REDACTED, so the secret has no credentials but the word "REDACTED". Is that normal or should I complete the file manually.

this is what I get

<publishData><publishProfile profileName="core-api - Web Deploy" publishMethod="MSDeploy" publishUrl="core-api.scm.azurewebsites.net:443" msdeploySite="core-api" userName="REDACTED" userPWD="REDACTED" destinationAppUrl="https://core-api.azurewebsites.net" SQLServerDBConnectionString="REDACTED" mySQLDBConnectionString="" hostingProviderForumLink="" controlPanelLink="https://portal.azure.com" webSystem="WebSites"><databases /></publishProfile><publishProfile profileName="core-api - FTP" publishMethod="FTP" publishUrl="ftps://waws-prod-bn1-285.ftp.azurewebsites.windows.net/site/wwwroot" ftpPassiveMode="True" userName="REDACTED" userPWD="REDACTED" destinationAppUrl="https://core-api.azurewebsites.net" SQLServerDBConnectionString="REDACTED" mySQLDBConnectionString="" hostingProviderForumLink="" controlPanelLink="https://portal.azure.com" webSystem="WebSites"><databases /></publishProfile><publishProfile profileName="core-api - Zip Deploy" publishMethod="ZipDeploy" publishUrl="core-api.scm.azurewebsites.net:443" userName="REDACTED" userPWD="REDACTED" destinationAppUrl="https://core-api.azurewebsites.net" SQLServerDBConnectionString="REDACTED" mySQLDBConnectionString="" hostingProviderForumLink="" controlPanelLink="https://portal.azure.com" webSystem="WebSites"><databases /></publishProfile></publishData>

Solution

As I mentioned in comment

When Function Is deployed using Publish profile make sure `SCM Basic Auth` in settings is enabled

Function App-->Configuration-->General settings --> SCM basic Auth--> On
