I have a Azure solution (provider web to my SharePoint app, but that shouldn't matter). I have created one app service where I publish my web application and I also have a web job which I want to have on same app service
I Deploy this web job separately by uploading the zip-file (or ps1-file) in the web job-part of my app service. Se image below
BUT: If I redeploy my web application (from Visual Studio) the web job is removed!
The best thing would be to include the web job in the deployment of the deployment of the web application, but in any case I just dont want it to be removed when I deploy the web application.
Any good solutions/suggestions?
If you look under the Settings tab on the Publish to Azure dialog in Visual Studio, there is a checkbox labeled "Remove Additional Files at Destination". Make sure this is unchecked. If it is checked, all additional files that are not in your Visual Studio solution will be removed.

I have started with asp.net core 2 web app and I can publish it to App Service from Visual Studio using web deploy.
I've created new clean .net core 2 console app. I'm able to upload it as webjob and run using Azure Portal, but how do I publish it from local command line or Visual Studio?
Basically, I don't care whether it will be published alongside the Web Application or as standalone.
EDIT: I've somehow managed to get the publish dialog by right clicking the project and selecting Publish (not Publish as Azure WebJob) as menioned in the docs. But I still don't know what did the trick. Installing Azure SDK? Adding webjob-publish-settings.json? Adding Setting.job?
Publish .net core as webjob with Azure portal:
As you know:
A WebJob looks for specific file type, for example (.cmd, .bat, .exe, etc…)
To run a .NET Core console application you use the DOTNET command
Therefore, you need to create a file with an extension which is WebJob looking for that executes.
1.You could create a .net core conosole application. After running it, you will have the follow file in your projectname/bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.0
2.Create a run.cmd file under it. And the run.cmd content is as below:
#echo off
dotnet ConsoleApp7.dll
3.To deploy the .NET Core console application to an Azure App Service Web App Web Job access the Azure portal and navigate to the Azure App Service where you will host the WebJob.
Click on the WebJobs link and the Add button.
4.Upload the netcoreapp2.0.zip
5.Once the WebJob is successfuly uploaded, it will render in the WebJob blade. Click on it and you will see the Run button.
6.When you write output to the console using the WriteLine() method, it will show in the Run Details window on KUDU/SCM.
For more detail, you could refer to this article and this one.
Update:(publish with command line)
1.First, download your publish settings file of your webapp from Azure Portal.
2.Prepare the .zip folder you have created.
As David said, you could use WAWSDeploy to publish webjob with command line.
You could download WAWSDeploy with this link.
3.Then go to WAWSDeploy/bin/Debug folder to open the local command line.
Try the following command to deploy the webjob:
WAWSDeploy.exe DotNetCoreWebJobSample.zip [WEBSITE_NAME].PublishSettings /t app_data\jobs\triggered\DotNetCoreWebJobSample /v
Target directory will be app_data\jobs\triggered\[WEBJOB_NAME]. If this web job is a continuously running one, replace triggered with continuous.
Note:you could put the WAWSDeploy.exe and publish settings file and the .zip into a folder. If not, you should give the full path of publish settings and .zip file. So that you could publish webjob successfully.
For more detail about WAWSDeploy, refer to this article.
Make sure your csproj includes correct SDK's:
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk;Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Publish">
Then just right click on the project in Visual Studio and click publish, select Microsoft Azure App Service and you should see the WebJob publish options:
Also notice that you should use Microsoft.NET.Sdk and not Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web
If you are using Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web, Visual Studio assumes that you are deploying to WebSite and not WebJob. The publish dialogs are slightly different for WebSite and WebJob. For example, for WebJob project you can specify WebJob Name.

There is a great articel about Develop and deploy WebJobs using Visual Studio - Azure App Service that covers your question.
Basically after installing the prerequisites (depending on your VS version) you can
Right-click the Console Application project in the Solution Explorer, and then click Publish as Azure WebJob.
I have created a Xamarin Android App that uses Azure for the back end. It seems that it would be better to host it in an App Service, but in Visual Studio 2017 Community, the only option seems to be to host it in a Classic Could Service. In VS, I created a Cloud Service project and added the WCF Project as a Role. Is there a better way to do this?
If you can't use Visual Studio Web Deploy, you can use FTP to deploy your compiled project. The FTP information is located in the Overview blade of the App Service. In the same blade, you can also click on the Publish Profile button to download an XML file containing credentials for Web Deploy and FTP.
Here's a video explaining the whole process.
I have a webapp in which a webjob is linked.
Since it is linked to webapp, so it auto deploys with webapp.
My issue is that i want to deploy only webapp not webjob.
Is there any way i can stop automatic deployment of webjob?
If you create your WebJob using following steps, a file named webjobs-list.json will be created under your properties folder.
Right click your project -> Add -> New Azure WebJob Project
The file will link your web application to the WebJob project. If we publish the web application, the WebJob project will also be published in the same Azure Web App.
My issue is that i want to deploy only webapp not webjob. Is there any way i can stop automatic deployment of webjob?
You can delete the webjobs-list.json file under your properties folder to remove the relationship between your web application and your WebJob. After that, the WebJob project will not be published when you publish your web application.
Since our WebJobs are exist in the app_data folder of our web application, if we check the [Remove additional files at destination] option, all the files under our web application will be deleted(include the WebJob files). If you don't want your WebJob be affected when you publish your web application, please keep the [Remove additional files at destination] option unchecked.
I have a Visual Studio solution that contains two web applications (our main site and our WebAPI project). I am able to host them locally in IIS Express as a single site using the applicationhost.config, but I want to package them (in our Build) and then deploy them (in our Release) as a single site from Visual Studio Online (which hosts our code) to Azure.
My Visual Studio Team Services Build configuration packages each of the Visual Studio projects into its own Web Deploy package. The Web Deploy packaging is done during my Build phase, and the deployment to Azure is done during the Release phase - this is done so I am not recompiling source every time I do a deployment, which is unnecessary and would slow down the process.
The first web application identifies "HelloAzure" as the DeployIisAppPath in its pubxml file. The second one (the WebAPI project) identifies "HelloAzure/api" as the DeployIisAppPath in its pubxml file.
Currently, I am using two of the "Azure Web Site Deployment" steps (the one that uses Service Endpoints to perform a deployment). I name the same web app name for both steps. When the second project is deployed, it seems to overwrite the first one rather than adding a second application to the existing site. I believe I must not be following the intended practice for deploying several Web Deploy packaged applications into one web site from Visual Studio Team Services to Azure, but I can't find the recommended practice documented anywhere.
I do need to have both applications hosted within a single site. Deploying them as separate sites is not an option.
It appears that Kudu has some options that might support this scenario, but I am not deploying from source code, I am deploying from Web Deploy packages created by our Team Services build.
The MSDeployAllTheThings VSTS extension supports deployment to a virtual app in an Azure site.
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=rschiefer.MSDeployAllTheThings
Microsoft also seems to have added official support for deploying to virtual apps from VSTS to Azure to the AzureRM VSTS extensions according to this thread: https://github.com/Microsoft/vsts-tasks/issues/624
With the new Azure Mobile App Services in Azure the mobile services apparently gains the same WebJob support as Websites have had for a while.
Following the article Deploy WebJobs using Visual Studio according to the section 'Enable automatic WebJobs deployment with a web project' we should be able to add a web job from a right click on the project. None of these options show up for my mobile service project in VS.
I can add a WebJob project to the solution manually, but this does not add the webjobs-list.json file to my mobile service project as the article suggests.
Does anyone know why the add web job context menu doesn't show when right-clicking on the mobile service project? Or the manual steps required to configure the project and appropriate webjobs-list.json file?
Update:
I have manually added the webjobs-list.json file to the main project by copying the format from another initial template project and adjusted the web job project path in it. Even deploying the mobile service to an azure web app doesn't pick up the web job.
It should work. I just created a new Mobile App, downloaded the quickstart, right-clicked the web project (appname-code), and was able to associate a webjob to the web project. Deployment worked as planned. Did you try that workflow? Did you try adding the webjob through the portal?
