Azure Web application deployment successful, but does not update the web application - azure

Previously I was having an error with the deployment of my React application on Web Service Linux on Azure. This problem was solved in the previous post I did, follow the link:
My Azure Web Application on Linux is not working. The error message on azure logs "react-scripts: not found" and github "npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE ”.
Now I am having another problem which consists of the following:
After deploying to the Azure platform (I'm using the github option for deployment) and receiving a successful deployment notification, upon entering my github repository, I received the error
"npm ERR! Code ELIFECYCLE" (follow the link to view the entire log: https://mega.nz/folder/eth0WSiL#pGvXl2yShQfUrNELCKD3cA). Upon entering the application and testing it I noticed that the deployment really did not work.
An important point worth mentioning that in the previous problem the solution passed by #JasonPan worked, but when we tested it I still used the Azure classic
deployment center, which was removed a few days ago and after trying to use the current deployment center I came across this error.

I managed to solve the problem. I needed to do two things within my .yml file, they were:
add a CI: false and remove the npm run test
Here is the code:
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- name: Set up Node.js version
uses: actions/setup-node#v1
with:
node-version: '14.x'
- name: npm install, build
run: |
npm install
npm run build --if-present
- name: Upload artifact for deployment job
uses: actions/upload-artifact#v2
with:
name: node-app
path: .
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: build
environment:
CI: false
name: 'production'
url: ${{ steps.deploy-to-webapp.outputs.webapp-url }}
The .yml file before it was changed:
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- name: Set up Node.js version
uses: actions/setup-node#v1

How do I deploy Angular application to Azure Web App

I have an Angular application that connects to a .NET Core web api. When I run the angular application on my machine it works without issue. When I move it to Azure, the Azure container fails and I receive the following error:

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

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.

now this is the gtihub actions workflow it is executing build job without errors but in deployment there comes an error
this is the error image
the error its shows is Error: Specified public directory 'build' does not exist, can't deploy hosting to site landing-page-design-1 i have followed the blog from where the workflow is copied i did everything same except some of my project details which is obvious please help me out why is this error occuring and how can i fix it
You're probably unpacking artifact to root directory instead of build/.
I'm guessing article was written for download-artifact#v1 while you are using download-artifact#v2 (as that's where master points currently). Difference between both is discussed here.
I'd verify first what is going on after artifact is downloaded
- name: Display directory structure
run: ls -R
shell: bash
If files are indeed in root directory, adding path should fix that.
- name: Download Artifact
uses: actions/download-artifact#v2
with:
name: build
path: build
PS: Using actions/<name>#master is not recommended, as it can always lead to issues if same action behaves differently between versions... for example actions/download-artifact ;)
You can also try to use firebase-publish-react to simplify your workflow file
This particular action plugin takes care of building the application internally and also can reuse the build directory from previous steps.
