Deployment of an Ember app fails with EPERM issues

[mfcollins3]

I'm trying to deploy an Ember app using ember-cli-azure-deploy. I've followed the instructions, but I have yet to get a successful deployment. I've seen connection issues and segmentation faults with NPM, but the latest error that I am getting is this:

Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, symlink 'D:\local\Temp\8d3d8e71a615f23\app' -> 'D:\local\Temp\8d3d8e71a615f23\tmp\funnel-input_base_path-vsGMDdb9.tmp\0'

I have attached the build log. I'm trying to deploy to a website running on a Basic 2 VM (2 CPUs, 3.5GB RAM).

Any ideas of what I can try?

I'm seeing the same kind of thing, will let you know if I find a solution

Add me to the list of people who are seeing this error. I'm using continuous deployment from Visual Studio Online. A manual copy of the build from my local machine (Win 10) via FTP works perfectly. Some posts on StackOverflow indicate that this might be a permissions issue, can we elevate to an administrator inside Azure?

This was the first error in my log:

I think you're right on the administrator issue as a potential cause, but I can run the same command locally as a non-administrator, so probably more something which Azure locks down.

Hi, I'm seeing the same issue. Anyone made headway on this?

Build the dist folder Executing "ember build -prod". This might take a while.

Running without elevated rights. Running Ember CLI "as Administrator" increases performance significantly. See ember-cli.com/user-guide/#windows for details.

I'm also experiencing this issue. Has anyone found a solution to this issue yet?

I'm now manually building and deploying without this plugin.

@graham-sportsmgmt Is there a tutorial you followed that might be helpful for manually deploying your Ember app to Azure? I'm still stuck on how to manually deploy to Azure. Are you using FTP, GIT, or something else to deploy your app?

The node.js deployment from TFS/VSTS works great, so I'm just issuing a local build command then copying the files from the resulting /dist folder to the /public directory in my node/express server. I push that into VSTS and it works well.
