deploy command does not actually deploy

[ghost]

Hi,

trying to deploy my already-built angular application to azure static web site with pwsh script from ubuntu OS in my container which will run as deploy container in our azure devops pipeline. I'm using following instructions

        az login --service-principal -u $armClientId -p $armClientSecret --tenant $armTenantId -o none
        $deploymentToken = az staticwebapp secrets list --name $staticWebSiteName --query "properties.apiKey"
        swa init --yes
        swa deploy --env production `
            --deployment-token $deploymentToken `
            --resource-group $rgName `
            --app-name $staticWebSiteName `
            --app-location $artifactPath `
            --no-use-keychain `
            --verbose=silly

Expected behavior I expect that my angular frontend in $artifactPath will be packed to zip and then uploaded to azure static web app instance $staticWebSiteName and if not command writes into console what is wrong and returns non-zero code. What actually happens is that i get following console output

I have the same experience on Windows 10 22H2 with node v14.21.1 and npm 9.1.2 with a svelte app and a .net functions api app. Everything builds fine, there are no error messages, but nothing is deployed.

If it helps, I just realized that I have a lot of HTML files (8K) ~ 350MB, would this be a reason the zip file is never generated?

[wldevries]

I have a similar scenario with a lot of .png files. edit: I have around 1500 files, but the total size is closer to 25 MB

[kgeorge314]

I missed this, but looks like there are limits https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/static-web-apps/quotas.

[kevin-george-ul]

I created a new issue #611 , @wldevries feel free to add your feedback there too.

[wldevries]

I think my problem is unrelated to the maximum app size, I'm not even close to 250 MB.

[kgeorge314]

Exactly, it's not file size it's volume of files which is why I created #611. It looks like it doesn't get to the zipping stage or fails around there.

[ghost]

I do not think it's related either. @kgeorge314 - your issue produces different log so it may be completely different root cause... While in my case staticSiteClient binary does nothing (nothing functional in log after Verbose logging enabled) in your case log indicates, that some functionality is invoked...

I'd like to investigate it further myself, however staticSiteClient is black-box. Publishing its repository might be helpful...

[sgollapudi77]

Hey @enudeploy, we recently made changes to StaticSiteClient to generate more error logs, can you please try running the command and check again. Meanwhile please feel free to track the issue at #557 . Thanks.

[ghost]

Hi @sgollapudi77,

output is still the same. However, i also see that version is still the same - SWA_CLI_VERSION: 1.0.3 and SWA_CLI_DEPLOY_BINARY: /root/.swa/deploy/1.0.020981/StaticSitesClient@1.0.020981 as in the original post...

How can i use newer version on staticSitesClient binary (swa cli 1.0.3 seems to be the latest one) to check extended logs?

[sgollapudi77]

Hey @enudeploy, the changes are deployed to preview version or "latest" StaticSiteClient image as you can see from here. For using the latest image you can set the environment variable SWA_CLI_DEPLOY_BINARY_VERSION to latest or maybe wait a couple of days and these changes will be deployed to stable StaticSiteClient image.

[ghost]

HI @sgollapudi77, thanks. this moved me forward. Now i can see output telling me

✖ deployment_token provided was invalid.
✖ An unknown exception has occurred
✖ Failed to record upload telemtry.

Now it tells me that deployment token is invalid which I do not understand. If you look at the code in the original post, i'm getting the token exactly as in your documentation (https://azure.github.io/static-web-apps-cli/docs/cli/swa-deploy/#deployment-token). I let my script to write it out to console and compared to it to what azure portal shows me (in Manage tokens view) - and it's same. So I do not think this is real root cause, it seems that there' something else causing this. Can you please review the script I'm using - it's in the original post ?

any suggestions?

[wldevries]

Do you have multiple Azure accounts like me? I had trouble signing in and I was wondering if it picked the correct account on all steps. Didn't really get a nice choice to pick the Azure account when setting up, had to log both out.

[ghost]

@wldevries - I have just one service principal for my automation which has all permissions needed - if that's what you meant.

[wldevries]

Ah, I reread your first post and realized you're providing credentials in a different way. Maybe something I should start looking into.. :-)

[wldevries]

I set $env:SWA_CLI_DEPLOY_BINARY_VERSION="latest" and I guess mine is different after all because deploy at silly verbose ends with:

ℹ Cannot deploy to the function app because Function language info isn't provided.
ℹ An unknown exception has occurred

For reference my local.settings.json contains:

{
  "Values": {
    "FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME": "dotnet-isolated",
  }
}

Adding a staticwebapp.config.json to the root of my app with contents { "platform": { "apiRuntime": "dotnet-isolated:7.0" } } fixed my problem. Odd thing is that it still ends with the following, even though the app was deployed. It seems the API is missing though. Can't be sure, it returns 404 and I can't check what files were actually deployed.

ℹ Deployment Complete :)
ℹ An unknown exception has occurred

[ghost]

@wldevries -

Ah, I reread your first post and realized you're providing credentials in a different way. Maybe something I should start looking into.. :-)

I'm not sure if this is correct approach or I should use swa login command explicitly...

[sgollapudi77]

Thanks for reporting this @wldevries , we have made fix for this and it will reflect in the next version of StaticSiteClient.

[ghost]

Hi @sgollapudi77 - any update please?

[sgollapudi77]

Hey @enudeploy, I'm guessing what might have been wrong here, while deploying using deployment_token, can you try removing the appName, resourceGroupName and just deploy using deployment token like this swa deploy --env production --deployment-token $deploymentToken

[ghost]

ok. so problem solved. there were actually two stupid problems in my case

1. since i experimented with deploying to static web app from git repo before, my static web app was still linked to this repo, which swa cli obviously does not like, so i had to unlink it.
2. your documentation at https://azure.github.io/static-web-apps-cli/docs/cli/swa-deploy/#deployment-token shows example for getting the token as az staticwebapp secrets list --name <application-name> --query "properties.apiKey" which doesn't work as it does not remove quotation marks - this leads to invalid token exception... Correct command is az staticwebapp secrets list --name <application-name> --query "properties.apiKey" -o tsv

[sgollapudi77]

We're glad that you are able to resolve this issue. Thanks @enudeploy for reporting the small change as well. We'll update the documentation.
