Github Actions with Azure Devops Pipelines not updating web application - azure

So I have a github repo and an azure app service.
I have created a github actions setup which when I run I get this result (no errors)
However the web app does not update, the main page is the same as before deployment, nothing has changed.
In App Service the GitHub Project value is pointing at the correct project and clicking the link confirms this.
So I am not sure what is failing to happen, below is my yml file.

Interesting, I removed the App Service in Azure and then re-created.
Now it works a treat. not sure why but happy as larry now.

I had this a few weeks ago, something to with using "latest" was the issue.
Could you try replacing it with the below and see if the issue goes away?
- name: Deploy to Azure
uses: azure/CLI#v1
with:
azcliversion: 2.37.0
I'm not sure what your issue is, but you are not logged in to Azure during the deploy phase of your work.
You are logging in to Azure and then starting a new job. This is a new fresh container and it has no previous knowledge relating to your account.
I would move the Login part to the deploy step and see if that solves your issue.
Apart from that, if the config you posted is the entire workflow you will run into an issue wit this part:
url: ${{ steps.deploy-to-webapp.outputs.webapp-url }} since the step deploy-to-webapp is not in the config and as such there is no output to pull from.

GitHub actions deploys wrong version of Newtonsoft.Json nuget package to Azure

Recently I added a test project to the solution. From what I can see one of the packages used in the test project uses Newtonsoft.Json v9.0 when the rest of the solution uses v13.0. The solution can be built locally, tested and everything is ok. The GitHub action also finishes successfully building the solution, runs tests and deploys it to Azure. The problem occurs on Azure - somewhere along the way GitHub action uses an older version of Newtonsoft.Json. All projects expect newer ones, so the whole website breaks because of this. I'm not sure how to fix this - I've tried adding manually correct version of Newtonsoft.Json to the test project, to all projects, clearing caches in GitHub actions but without luck. What works is just removing test project from the solution, but obviously I want tests to be working. Does anyone has idea why this breaks and how to fix it?
I managed to fix this problem by adding this code to my Tests project csproj file:
<PropertyGroup>
<AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>true</AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>
<GenerateBindingRedirectsOutputType>true</GenerateBindingRedirectsOutputType>
</PropertyGroup>
I'm not entirely sure what was the root cause behind this problem

Environment Variables are undefined in Azure Service App

I'm breaking my head over this - I've had the same environment working with the variables 100% (and also on the local env ofcourse)- but I've created another App Service on Azure with the same workflow and all of the env variables defined under the App Settings (Configurations tab) are undefined when running the job in workflow. I'm using the default YML file that Azure created when you deploy it using the Deployment Center. The start command is very simple:
"build": "node app.js",
And this is the YML file:
name: Build and deploy Node.js app to Azure Web App - xxxxxxx
on:
push:
branches:
- master
workflow_dispatch:

build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest

npm run build --if-present
npm run test --if-present

app-name: 'xxxxxxxxx'
slot-name: 'Production'
publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AZUREAPPSERVICE_PUBLISHPROFILE_74C0CC726E3C4567B0FXXXXXXXXXXC }}
package: .
No matter what I do, the process.env.X variables are all undefined, and if you list all variables using SSH on the same instance, I see the variables there, which drives me even more crazy!
Any idea?
As suggested by #Shinoy Babu ,We can try to add the environment variable in pipeline while deploying which will reflect in our App service in Azure after deploying.
Also if want to configure through Azure portal you can refer this

Github Actions Artifact is taking to much to deploy in Azure Web Apps

I have I'm trying to deploy my app on Azure Web apps. I have a Github Actions I was given by default when connecting my GitHub repository in Azure. The problem is that deploying a single thing takes about 45 minutes to be deployed!! It's so insane the amount of time is giving to be deployed. I see a message like this:
Any idea of why is this happening or a better way to optimize this?
(By the way, I'm actually deploying a Next.js app)

The upload of 38000 files will take forever. As the logs indicate you can speed up this tremendously by zipping up the contents, uploading that and unzipping the contents on the other end.
- run: |
zip -r node-app.zip .
- name: Upload artifact for deployment job
uses: actions/upload-artifact#v2
with:
name: node-app
path: node-app.zip
Then unzip it after downloading the artefact in the 2nd job:
- name: Download artifact from build job
uses: actions/download-artifact#v2
with:
name: node-app
- run: |
unzip node-app.zip
rm node-app.zip
Zip or Tar or any other tool will work and, in some cases, simply storing without compression may be faster depending on the size of the archive (time spent compressing vs time spent uploading/downloading).
Thank you Lex Li supporting your answer adding the process on how to deploy docker image
The better way is to deploy docker image which is very fast in uploading a single file.
Below is the github link as well as the example code of few docker image deployments.

It's because npm install step, it will take time to upload all files in node_modules folder to the target.
I removed that step and it run faster then.
But you need to setup node_module folders on the server first by npm install, and the action will only copy js file.
