Task name

Adding PHP 8.2 to Runtime stack dropdown for Azure App Service deploy task

Describe your feature request here

Hello all,

I have noticed that the Azure App Service deploy task's runtime stack dropdown list does not contain PHP 8.2. (I am deploying to a Web App on Linux)

App Service currently supports PHP 8.2.

Do you think this item can be added to the runtime stack dropdown list? I'd like to be able to upgrade to a newer version of PHP and still utilize this task.

Note: PHP 8.1's availability is set to be phased out of Azure App Service in September 25th, 2023, and I will need a viable upgrade option at least by then. :)

Thanks!

Hi @95josh thanks for reporting! We are working on more prioritized issues at the moment, but will get back to this one soon.

[95josh]

Hello all, 8.1 is going to be depreciated in aprox. 11 days.

If there is anyone else looking for a temporary workaround, you can add a Azure CLI task to your flows with the following command: (replace values inbetween <> with your own values)

az webapp config set -g <resource-group> -n <app-service-name> -s <slot name> --linux-fx-version '"PHP|8.2"'

Remove the -s option if you are not deploying to a slot, or are deploying to the production slot.

Any update on fixing this?

@bordesujay I haven't gotten any updates. My workaround still does the job though, albeit a minute or so slower.

This is a major issue at my organisation, and causing us tons of headache.

@95josh did you add your CLI task before or after the Deploy Azure App Service task out of curiosity, as struggling to get your solution to work

Hello @CodeLuca,

I added the CLI task after the Deploy Azure App Service task. What this CLI task does is set the PHP version of the app service to the specified PHP version. If this CLI task is done before the Deploy Azure App Service task, then the CLI will set the PHP version to 8.2, and then the Deploy Azure App Service task will set it to a deprecated PHP version, say 8.0.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

@95josh With a slight change, your workaround worked for me. Thanks a ton.

For anyone still trying to figure out, I added an Azure Cli (Powershell Core) step after deployment step:

The following script is almost same as what Josh suggested, removed the extra single quotes around PHP|8.2, as it didn't work for me:

az webapp config set --resource-group <resource-group> --name <app-service-name> --linux-fx-version "PHP|8.2"

Hope this works for you too @CodeLuca

This is definitely still an active open issue / problem.

I may have discovered a slightly different workaround. In the task you can type in the version field. I typed in the 8.2 configuration:

Logs from the pipeline suggest it worked:

Trying to update App Service Configuration settings. Data: {"linuxFxVersion":"PHP|8.2"

Note: It looks like it only pushes this config into the logs if a change is actually being made. So if you manually updated it, the value isn't pushed.

After deployment the app service is updated with the correct config:

Excellent point @drmmr763 .

I am glad that worked for you. When I originally opened this issue, I had tried that and it didn't work. I am going to have to check this out again!
