Azure Web Publish has stopped working - No Errors - azure

Question

I am unable to publish my website to either my Azure hosted staging site or my new Azure live site.
I HAVE published to each once but have been unable to do so since the first time.
I have tried...
Regenerating the Publish profile
Manually entering passwords
Editing elements of the Database connection strings
Comparing the *.pubxml files with another site that works
I'm tearing my hair out with this now.
This is all I can see - Any more log info would be nice, or an error message!

Don't add 'node_modules' to the deployed files if you can possibly avoid it. If not you'll have to be selective. Gulp is a particular menace here for recursive nested node_modules folders that break the windows path limit.
