GitHub Action error for Azure Webapp: Specify a project or solution file. The current working direct-CodePudding

I am trying to deploy a small WebApp with GitHub Actions into an Azure WebApp deployment slot. The WebApp in Azure is called webappdeploydemo and the deployment slot development. The WebApp is based on .NET 6 LTS stack. For this I use an ubuntu runner and the following YAML-configuration:

name: 'Deploy to Azure App Service'

on:
  push:
    branches: [ "main" ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ "main" ]

env:
  AZURE_WEBAPP_PACKAGE_PATH: '.'
  AZURE_WEBAPP_NAME: webappdeploydemo
jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    
    - name: Setup .NET
      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v3
      with:
        dotnet-version: 6.0.x
      
    - name: Build
      run: dotnet build --configuration Release
    
    - name: Publish
      run: dotnet publish -c Release -o '${{ env.AZURE_WEBAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}/myapplication'
      
    - name: Deploy
      uses: Azure/webapps-deploy@v2
      with:
        app-name: ${{ env.AZURE_WEBAPP_NAME }}
        slot-name: 'development'
        publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AZURE_WEBAPP_PUBLISH_PROFILE }}
        package: '${{ env.AZURE_WEBAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}/myapplication'

When triggering the GitHub Action I have an error at the build step, which I am trying to understand and solve. In understood that it can't find a sln or .net project at that path. But why and how can I overcome this?

CodePudding user response：

I am able to create a development slot without any issues. Please follow the below steps.

Make sure your source files are deployed properly to GitHub. Check the folder structure before you continue the steps.

In Visual Studio, Create a .NET Core 6 Web App.
Push the code to GitHub Repository.
New files .gitattributes and .gitignore will be created in the GitHub Repo along with the Source Code.

Make sure your GitRepository has all the required solution and folder structure.

Creating Deployment Slots:

In Azure Portal => Navigate to your App Service => select Deployment slots Under Deployment .
As we have deployed the Application to Azure, we will find one Production slot.

Create one development slot. Provide the name and select the deployed App Service to clone all the deployed configurations and settings to development slot from Production slot.
As it is a sample App, it takes few seconds to create the slot.
