@davojta It appears you are running the az webapp up cmdlet again. Please note that this cmdlet only needs to be run once as it creates a new web app. Since there is already a web app with that name, it errors out on that cmdlet.

@BryanFranzMSFT could you say how it is possible to update already created web app ?
I follow the section "Update and redeploy the app" in the doc and get that error.

How to deploy to an already existing app?

[BryanTrach-MSFT]

@davojta @severud @wald-tq @hkhamm We believe there might be a platform issue that is causing this behavior. We are currently investigating this issue and will reply back once we have a further update.

@davojta @severud @wald-tq @hkhamm This issue is part of a known issue at this time. We have a fix for it and hope to have the fix deployed shortly.

My resolution was to use Azure Storage to host my static app.

I fixed problem with setup service account and using zip deployment: i've written a simple script to make zip archive from the folder with source file and then i upload archive using zip deployment + service account to run it on CI

I did something similar to @davojta. After building I did:

cd build && zip -r build.zip .
az webapp deployment source config-zip -g <resource-group> -n <name> --src build.zip
rm -rf build.zip
