Issue Description

My app was working for months and I recently tried to update it and got this error.

I have searched the 'net high and low and have found similar errors, but nothing that matches this. None of the suggestions in those Issues/SO posts have helped. Examples:

Here's my Action log:

My yaml:

    - name: 'Run Azure Functions Action'
      uses: Azure/functions-action@v1
      id: fa
      with:
        app-name: 'porscheoptioncodes'
        slot-name: 'production'
        package: '${{ env.AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}/output'
        publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AZUREAPPSERVICE_PUBLISHPROFILE_xxx}}

My PublishSettings file which is stored in:

<publishData>
    <publishProfile profileName="PorscheOptionCodes - Web Deploy" 
       publishMethod="MSDeploy" 
       publishUrl="porscheoptioncodes.scm.azurewebsites.net:443" 
       msdeploySite="PorscheOptionCodes" 
       userName="$PorscheOptionCodes" 
       userPWD="<pwd>" 
       destinationAppUrl="http://porscheoptioncodes.azurewebsites.net" 
       SQLServerDBConnectionString="" 
       mySQLDBConnectionString="" 
       hostingProviderForumLink="" 
       controlPanelLink="http://windows.azure.com" 
       webSystem="WebSites">
       <databases />
    </publishProfile>
...
</publishData>

I went to the Azure Portal/Deployment Center and did Disconnect and reconnected, having it re-generate the workflow file.

After doing this, I found I had to change 'AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PACKAGE_PATHfrom.toApi` (because that's what my client for this function expects).

So now my .yml is:

# Docs for the Azure Web Apps Deploy action: https://github.com/azure/functions-action
# More GitHub Actions for Azure: https://github.com/Azure/actions

name: Build and deploy dotnet core app to Azure Function App - PorscheOptionCodes

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
  workflow_dispatch:

env:
  AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PACKAGE_PATH: 'Api' # set this to the path to your web app project, defaults to the repository root
  DOTNET_VERSION: '3.1.301'  # set this to the dotnet version to use

jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: windows-latest
    steps:
    - name: 'Checkout GitHub Action'
      uses: actions/checkout@v2

    - name: Setup DotNet ${{ env.DOTNET_VERSION }} Environment
      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
      with:
        dotnet-version: ${{ env.DOTNET_VERSION }}

    - name: 'Resolve Project Dependencies Using Dotnet'
      shell: pwsh
      run: |
        pushd './${{ env.AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}'
        dotnet build --configuration Release --output ./output
        popd

    - name: 'Run Azure Functions Action'
      uses: Azure/functions-action@v1
      id: fa
      with:
        app-name: 'PorscheOptionCodes'
        slot-name: 'production'
        package: '${{ env.AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}/output'
        publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AzureAppService_PublishProfile_xyz }}

The same error occurs.

I'm at my wits end. As I note this was working for months (last working commit was last September). Something changed between then on the Azure side that broke this, I believe.

Happy to be proven wrong, but I don't know how to dive deeper to figure it out.

I am getting a similar problem, but a 403. I'm wondering if this is due to a private endpoint?

same issue here.

Eventually tracked out problem down to a mixture of the blob storage account not having table permission and not being public endpoint. If we have to swap to private endpoint, we'll have to get a private build agent.

Same here, my deploy workflow was working 6 days ago and now it's broken. I did not change anything on the workflow file or Azure

This is the error I'm seeing.

The function app is hosted on Windows and runs NodeJS 14. This workflow has been working without issues for the last year.

EDIT: This was due to the unavailability of my app. After making sure app was working as expected (storage link, CPU usage, Outbound TCP connexions). I can deploy as usual
