Failure when doing git deployment

[jeremymeng]

My deployment to Azure didn't succeed after running git push azure master.

The errors I saw in the output are

remote: Omitting next output lines...
remote: Looking for app.js/server.js under site root.
remote: Invalid start-up command "gulp" in package.json. Please use the format "node <script relative path>".
remote: Using start-up script server.js
remote: Generated web.config.

and

Hello, I'm seeing the same problem.

Searching around I found this link to a very similar MSFT published tutorial but deploying to a Linux container. I tried it and got past the problem you described above. I can now connect to the webapp but I'm getting http Service Unavailable errors. I'm now chasing that problem.

PS. I'm a novice at this and using these tutorials as a learning tool.

Did you find any solution to this? I am having the same issue.

I'm having exactly the same issues. Not impressed that Microsoft haven't responded in almost 5 months.

I got the same issue. The tutorial should be updated!

You can change the start line in package.json to "start": "node node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js",

This will unblock the deployment, but still get error:

Start script "node_modules/gulp/bin/gulp.js" from package.json is not found.

I would like to fix it complete in future.
