I have the same problem, see discussion here

[ceemafour]

I have the same problem here. Have tried recreating the pipelines as well as the target app service on Azure but doesn't work.
This issue is affecting all docker(linux) pipelines.
Non-docker deployments are not affected.

@nemetht , @tndata , @ceemafour , thanks for reporting the issue. We identified the issue and working on the fix.
In the meanwhile, Can you use the Azure Web App for container task to get unblocked?

[valt449]

Works for me @vincentdass. Thx :)

[gpj1]

Hi @vincentdass May I please know if there are any updates on this? I'm still seeing this issue.

[ahoak]

@nemetht, A workaround that I found is that you can use version 3 (not version 4). Example task in .yml file:

• task: AzureRmWebAppDeployment@3
  inputs:
  azureSubscription: ''
  appType: 'applinux'
  WebAppName: ''
  DeployToSlotFlag: true
  ResourceGroupName: ''
  SlotName: 'latest'
  DockerNamespace: ''
  DockerRepository: ''
  DockerImageTag: '$(Build.BuildId)'

Hope that helps!

[Lanrey]

works for me @ahoak Thanks a lot

[dikhakha]

The fix is now available for Azure App Service Deploy task. Can you please check if you are still facing this issue ?

[vincent1173]

@gpj1 , we have rolled out the fix.
@ahoak , @Lanrey , Can you please change the task from "AzureRmWebAppDeployment@3"
to "AzureWebAppDeployment@1"

- task: AzureWebAppContainer@1
            inputs:
              azureSubscription: "$(my_sub)"
              appName: "my_app"
              imageName: 'appservice/python:latest'

[gpj1]

Thanks @vincentdass . Now the issue is resolved with our existing task AzureWebAppDeployment@4. Thank you.

[yzhaopost]

The hot-fix is working for me. Thank you. Just a quick question, as for the deployment of container to Azure web app, can we keep using "Azure App Service deployment" as recommended by the Azure docs "deploy to an Azure web app for container" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/apps/cd/deploy-docker-webapp?view=azure-devops), or it is time switching to "Azure Web App for Container"? I mean for the existing Pipelines. What is your recommendation? Thank you!

[Lanrey]

Thanks @vincentdass . The issue has been resolved using AzureWebAppDeployment@4. Thanks

[vincent1173]

Closing the issue, as it is resolved.
