@rpatilarch Hey Ravindra, apologies that you're running into this issue -- when you have a chance, would you mind answering the following questions:

• What step in your GitHub Actions workflow is this error coming from?
  • e.g., is this coming from Azure/functions-action, Azure/functions-container-action, a custom script, etc.
• What type of Python application are you attempting to build and deploy?
  • e.g., Conda, Django, Flask, etc.
  • Are you able to successfully build and deploy your application outside of GitHub Actions?
  • i.e., deploy your Azure Functions app via Azure CLI, Azure Portal, etc.

I have this same issue, when deploying an F# Azure (static web app) function via Azure/static-web-apps-deploy@v1. The code is essentially unchanged from last week when it deployed fine, but now it times out on the "Finished Upload. Polling on deployment." step. The same issue happened for a week or so around November of last year.

Example log: https://github.com/MaxWilson/POCDungeonDraw/actions/runs/4094911431/jobs/7061465470

I am not sure whether my static web app's Azure Function can be deployed via azure cli or portal, but that sounds like a worthwhile workaround. I will try. Edit: it looks like I cannot deploy separately because I am using Managed Functions, not Bring Your Own Functions, per documentation at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/static-web-apps/apis-functions.

[MaxWilson]

As a workaround I upgraded to a standard plan and switched to Bring Your Own Functions. It took some work to get all the authentication/authorization configuration switched over but at least now deployment is reliably succeeding.

    1. This is coming in step - Run Azure/functions-action@v1
    2. We build and deploy Azure Functions - we follow the instructions here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-how-to-github-actions?tabs=python
    3. We have seen the same error sometimes when deploying in VS Code.

It is intermittent, and after re-trying a few times, we can deploy it.

I have just had this start happening across a number of function apps that I deploy to using GitHub actions. These have been working no problems for months and I have had loads of problems in the last 24 hours. Has there been a change that might have impacted: Azure/functions-action@v1?

[rpatilarch]

My issue is resolved, after using the template given here. https://github.com/Azure/actions-workflow-samples/blob/master/FunctionApp/linux-python-functionapp-on-azure.yml
