Jenkins pipeline does not deploy to azure - azure

Question

im trying to deploy azure web app to azure form git through jenkins pipeline
code looks like this
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage ('Checkout') {
steps {
checkout([$class: 'GitSCM', branches: [[name: '*/develop']], doGenerateSubmoduleConfigurations: false, extensions: [], submoduleCfg: [], userRemoteConfigs: [[credentialsId: 'creds', url: 'https://xx.git']]])
}
}
stage ('Development - NuGet restore') {
steps {
bat """
C:\\nuget\\nuget.exe restore "%WORKSPACE%\\src\\xx.sln"
"""
}
}
stage ('Development - MSBuild') {
steps {
bat """
"C:\\Program Files\\dotnet\\dotnet.exe" msbuild "%WORKSPACE%\\src\\xx.sln" /p:VisualStudioVersion=15.0 /p:BuildInParallel=true /m:8 /p:Configuration=Release /p:DeployOnBuild=true /t:Clean,Build
"""
}
}
stage ('Development - Deploy') {
steps {
azureWebAppPublish appName: "xx",
azureCredentialsId: 'xx',
resourceGroup: "xx",
filePath: 'xx'
}
}
}
post {
failure {
xxx....;
}
}
}
Output form azure deployment plugin is:

Deploy repository is up-to-date. Nothing to commit.
Done Azure Web App deployment.
Plugin is trying to fetch changes form actual azure webapp url which is obviously wrong, using correct git file name.
How is this possible? Is there any way to supply git repo url as a parameter to azure plugin?
Thanks!

The comments part from this Azure Function Plugin link talks regarding similar issue (i.e., regarding issue of 'Deploy repository is up-to-date. Nothing to commit.') and the comment provided is to explicitly have a process to make sure the changed files are included in the 'Files' list. For more information and comparison with Azure App Service plugin, please refer it. Hope this helps!!
