.git folder gets copied in some cases in Linux Web App Deployment

[blueelvis]

Repro steps.

Using the default deployment script for PHP projects. Project is a drupal installation

Project structures.

Normal Drupal structure

The log/error given by the failure.

No error is generated as part of the whole deployment

Mention any other details that might be useful.

1. I am performing a local git deployment to the Azure Web App for containers.
2. I see in some cases that the wwwroot folder gets populated with the .git folder which is not best practice.
3. I see in the log the following -

   
   remote: Updating branch 'master'.        

remote: .........

remote: Updating submodules.
remote: Preparing deployment for commit id 'd4b51d6d0a'.
remote: Running custom deployment command...
remote: Running deployment command...

remote: PHP deployment

For a clean web app on a different app service plan but same code repository, I see the following -

remote: Updating branch 'master'.
remote: ..........
remote: Updating submodules.
remote: Preparing deployment for commit id 'd4b51d6d0a'.

remote: Copying file: 'robots.txt'

remote: Ignoring: .git
remote: Copying file: 'modules/README.txt'

Any idea what might be happening?

Thanks,

Your first deployment log appears to be for an app that is doing an in-place deployment. That's why kudusync isn't running and why everything, including .git, is in the target folder. See here. Have you configured that app in this way?

[blueelvis]

@nickwalkmsft - Nope. I don't have those settings defined in the Web Apps Application Settings for both of the web apps...

[rramachand21-zz]

@blueelvis, was this issue fixed after you followed steps in https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Deploying-inplace-and-without-repository

[blueelvis]

@rramachand21 - I didn't set inplace deployment for this and earlier the source code was getting copied properly but in this case, it didn't work properly.

@blueelvis Can you provide a more detailed reproduction? I was unable to repro the error by following https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-deploy-local-git

[blueelvis]

@patricklee2 - I was not able to reproduce this since quite some time now. It could be a hiccup. Do you have any alternate thoughts on this?

[patricklee2]

@blueelvis Feel free to reopen this issue if the problem reappears. @nickwalkmsft @davidebbo We can not repro this, please close this issue
