Intermittent 'Failed to upload build artifacts' errors from Azure Dev Ops Deployment Task

[jmbrunskill]

Describe the bug

Frequent Static Web Pages Deployment failures from Azure Dev Ops Pipeline. Using continuous integration on commits to a target branch to trigger this workflow. The website content is generated via a custom static page generation tool, so doesn't use a Static Generation Framework.

To Reproduce Create a Azure Dev Ops pipeline to deploy to static web apps (We are deploying every 15minutes) Observe intermittent pipeline failures

Pipeline yaml is about as simple as it gets

trigger:
  - ms-tanks-static-pages-deploy 
jobs:
- job: Linux
  pool:
    vmImage: 'ubuntu-20.04'
  steps:
    - checkout: self
      submodules: true
    - task: AzureStaticWebApp@0
      inputs:
        app_location: ''
        api_location: ''
        output_location: ''
      env:
        azure_static_web_apps_api_token: $(tanks_deployment_token)

Expected behavior Deployment failures should be very rare .

I'm also getting this, except it's been many times in a row, this is now stopping us releasing our SWA website. @anthonychu would appreciate it you could check out what's going on? Here is what I get:

---End of Oryx build logs--- Finished building app with Oryx Using 'staticwebapp.config.json' file for configuration information, 'routes.json' will be ignored. Copying 'staticwebapp.config.json' to build output Either no Api directory was specified, or the specified directory was not found. Azure Functions will not be created. Zipping App Artifacts Done Zipping App Artifacts Uploading build artifacts. Failed to upload build artifacts.

@derekvantonder can you provide some of the logs (i.e. deployment Id) or the default hostname of the site? Additionally, what is the CI/CD setup for this? Is it running on self-hosted runners?

[derekvantonder]

Hi @miwebst, the site's default hostname is https://delightful-forest-02a74151e.azurestaticapps.net.

This has happened intermittently but a couple of days ago it was like every build. Just a mysterious error about failing to upload build artifacts, no more info than that.

Thank you!

@miwebst this happens a lot with my deployments too. I use SWA to publish MSIX package, it's a static website with index.html and a couple of binary files. Here are the logs
