Not able to deploy a repo subfolder to Azure app services

[mproschowsky]

Context:

• nodejs project stored in Azure DevOps repository
• The code and package.json are in a subfolder called server
• Code should be deployed to Azure App Service, using continuous deployment from the Azure DevOps repository
• For deployment to work, Kudu/oryx need to know to look into the server folder and not in the root of the repository.

According to documentation this can be done by the PROJECT configuration: https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Customizing-deployments#deploying-a-specific-folder-for-a-node-php-or-aspnet-site

On the list of ORYX configurations, PROJECT is listed as a only working for .NET: https://github.com/microsoft/Oryx/blob/main/doc/configuration.md

Repro steps

Add application setting in Azure: PROJECT = server Commit changes to repo to trigger Kudu

The log/error given by the failure.

Detecting platforms... Error: Could not find the .NET Core project file.

Is this a documentation error, or is the PROJECT command expected to work as described?
