How to deploy azure webjob using Octopus deployment?
For me, octopus says it is deployed to azure but not able to see my webjob under the website.
Can anyone help how to achieve this?
There is a documentation on how to deploy a web job from octopus Azure Web Apps.
I was using Octopus Deploy 3.0 and in my case, I only wanted to deploy a webjob without a web app:
I've chosen Azure Web App Deployment Target:
And in the deployment section, specify the physical path.
For continuous job you can specify a path like that:
For triggered job you can specify a path like that:
have you try to publish your web jobs to your website using Visual Studio?
One way to verify whether your web jobs has been deployed to your website/web app is to access to the Kudu site of your website.
https://.scm.azurewebsites.net/azurejobs/#/jobs
Go to Debug Console (CMD), try to access D:\home\site\wwwroot\App_Data\jobs
and see if there is any web jobs underneath it
You can try using the nuspec to package your artifacts.
Put you web jobs under App_Data\jobs\trigger{webjob} or App_Data\jobs\continuous{webjob} based on your job type.
And then deploy using Octopus, Azure will be able to recognize it.

I have a files in azure repro and i need to zip after that i need to
updated into azure webapp to with new webjob with
manually/continuous.
2.I have created Build Pipeline and Release Pipeline. WebJobs are not created in the azure webapp
Kindly please help on this issues if any one knows.
The processes you have taken are just publishing the demo.zip file to the default production slot in your Web App. It is not creating a WebJobs in the Web App.
I am afraid that you have misunderstanding on WebJobs of Web App. It is a feature of Azure App Service that enables you to run a program or script in the same instance as a web app, API app, or mobile app. There is no additional cost to use WebJobs.
To create a WebJob in your Web App, normally, you need to manually add the WebJob in the web UI of your Web App.
I pushed my .net core function application using visual studio and now setting up release pipeline. I can publish and execute the application just fine and it works great on the Azure portal. However when I see the builds for releases in azure-devOps that slot fails with the following error.
2019-06-19T23:21:33.3543380Z ##[error]Error: Deployment of msBuild generated package is not supported. Change package format or use Azure App Service Deploy task. D:\a\r1\a\_...AVFunctionCore.zip
I am not sure where I need to check in my setup to even start diagnosing the issue.
Here are the pipeline steps.
I create a new stage and then select a template of type (Azure app service deployment)
Under tasks
App type is Function App on Windows
Give the app name, resource group , give the slot and
package folder as
$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/**/AVFunctionCore.zip
Everything else on this is left as default.
Azure function app deploy and release pipeline error
According to the error message:
Deployment of msBuild generated package is not supported. Change
package format or use Azure App Service Deploy task.
It seems you are not using the correct task to publish the generated package. Since the generated package is .zip, you can try the suggestion as error message said use Azure App Service Deploy task.
Azure App Service Deploy task:
Use this task in a build or release pipeline to deploy to a range of
App Services on Azure. The task works on cross-platform agents running
Windows, Linux, or Mac and uses several different underlying
deployment technologies.
The task works for ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core, PHP, Java, Python, Go, and
Node.js based web applications.
The task can be used to deploy to a range of Azure App Services such
as:
Web Apps on both Windows and Linux
Web Apps for Containers Function
Apps on both Windows and Linux
Function Apps for Containers
WebJobs
Apps configured under Azure App Service Environments
Check this blog Visual Studio 2017 Tools for Azure Functions and Continuous Integration with VSTS for some more details.
Hope this helps.
I get predefined pipeline from VS integration. So for those you have the same case:
In GUI/Classic mode Release page -> edit pipeline
Edit task in stage section (this is responsible for deploying)
Replace Azure Web App task with Azure App Service deploy
I have more than one project (web api + azure function) in my solution. For the web app I used the zip file, but for the azure function to work I needed to publish the whole folder.
Azure Function
Package or folder:
$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/_Backend/drop
Web Api
Package or folder:
$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/_Backend/drop/ClientAPI.zip
I'm using the ASP.NET Core & Angular startup template from ASP.NET Boilerplate with Multi-Tenancy disabled: 1 database with a single tenant(Default).
I'm also using TeamCity to build/test/publish the projects available in the startup template so I end up with 3 NuGet packages that are getting pushed to Octopus Deploy:
API (Host project, ASP.NET Core Web Application)
Migrator (Console application, capable of migrating the database(s))
UI (Angular App)
I want to deploy this setup to Azure with Octopus Deploy(self hosted, v2018.9.0) in the following way using 2 App Services(Host & UI) and 1 Azure SQL database(Host):
Take the UI and API applications offline, displaying a friendly maintenance message while updating the projects.
Migrate the database using the Migrator package
Deploy the API application package
Deploy the UI application package
Put the API application online, maybe some more tests to check that it's working correctly
Put the UI application online.
If all this was on-prem, I would have no questions. It's the Azure part that I can't figure out because I don't know how to do these things on Azure via Octopus Deploy:
Put an Azure App Service offline/online (using an app_offline.htm file)
Deploy the Migrator package to the API Azure App Service in a special folder(so that I don't overwrite the API deployment) and run the migrator: dotnet [migrator.dll] -q
I tried using the Octopus Deploy "Deploy an Azure Web App" but this step won't let me also deploy the migrator package and run it before the API package is deployed. Or does it? I don't know how.
I tried using the "Run an Azure PowerShell script" but this executes on the Octopus Deploy server and not on the Azure App Service environment right?
Maybe there are other, even better, approaches deploying this setup to Azure?
You can use App service slots to swap in/out version of your logical applications. When you swap there's a warming up that occurs and no loss of traffic.
So basically deploy to backup slot, then swap production with backup slot.
For the db I don't think your strategy is valid. There are some assumptions you are making that will not make your life easy. I would look at handling the db deployment separately with no breaking changes but that's my opinion.
I'm not familiar with Octopus or TeamCity so I won't go into details about those.
I got a web scraping tool developed using C# console application and Selenium Chrome driver.
Is there an option to deploy and schedule to run daily in Azure platform?
Is there an option to deploy and schedule to run daily in Azure
platform?
Yes. You can deploy your console application project to a web App service as an Azure Webjob.If you're unfamiliar with Azure Webjob, you can see details in this wiki. But I'm not sure whether your application can still work well, because it depends on your application itself and running environment sometimes.
You can use Visual Studio to deploy it. You can follow this tutorial to achieve that.
If you have already created a Webjob and want deploy it to Azure, you can refer to this blog.
Schedule the Webjob:
When you deploy the Webjob, you can use CRON to schedule your Webjob.
I am using VSTS and that is where my repository with my Laravel web application is. So I am deploying automatically to Azure.
But in order for my Application to get deployed fully automatically, I need to add a Task to VSTS that can run something in the Kudu Console. How can I implement that?
Using Kudu REST API.
There is a thread about how to use Kudu REST API in build/release:
