Hi, has this been released already? I'm having the same issue, but when using the task "IISWebAppDeploymentOnMachineGroup".

[eaarora-ms]

@eltoncezar Hi yes it has been released already. Could you please reproduce the logs here after pulling the latest changes from master?

We had already fixed this issue but yet has not be deployed ..It will be available by end of next week.

[pacorreia]

We had already fixed this issue but yet has not be deployed ..It will be available by end of next week.

Ok, meanwhile any suggestion for workaround?

[skothari120790]

Hi, we are also facing the same issue. Is the solution available now?

Regards,
Sanjay

[pacorreia]

Actually I figured out a workaround, by having copies of appsettings, one for each environment, and a powershell task before deploy task, to copy from these new files to appsettings.json according to the stage.

Working pretty well

[SumiranAgg]

The fix is deployed. Please verify. Closing the issue.

[pmcilreavy]

Yep can confirm this is still happening. Will the fix take a while to propagate perhaps?

[santhu89]

The fix is deployed. Please verify. Closing the issue.

This issue still seems to be happening.

[todthomson]

I went back to v3 of the task as a work around.

[pacorreia]

The issue should be reopened, as it wasn't fixed

Still happening for me in this task...

[pacorreia]

@SumiranAgg please reopen the issue, you should have not closed it

[SumiranAgg]

Reopening the issue. The fix is still rolling. Should reach all accounts in another week. Apologies was miscommunication.

[rahulha]

There is a simple workaround. Add a task "File transform" right before deployment task and use the same build folder and json file names. It does exact same thing as deployment (Azure app service) task does with transformation. Also its clean workaround.

[pacorreia]

Seems a nice workaround, going to test

[pacorreia]

@rahulha working like a clock, thanks

[tegaaa]

I'm also still seeing this problem as of today. I don't want to add more tasks then necessary if this is a bug. I don't really have loc in my application so i'll assume the warning will go away once fixed.

[SumiranAgg]

It should be fixed now. Please validate. @20shivangi Can you please track this and validate on some prod accounts.

[pacorreia]

I can say it is ok for me, western Europe region

[20shivangi]

Great!! Thereby I am closing the issue.
Feel free to reopen if facing any issue.

[cheresier]

Just got the following message in my deploy logs:

[warning]Can't find loc string for key: FailedToApplySpecialTransformation

Seems that the fix was incomplete.

[eaarora-ms]

@cheresier : Hi, could you please reproduce the logs here? I need to know the task and the task version that you're using.

[cheresier]

Sorry -- I have since fixed the underlying problem causing the error and deleted the pipeline run where this error occurred, but here is the information you are looking for:

Task : File transform
Version : 1.156.3

[eaarora-ms]

@cheresier Thanks! Was able to reproduce the issue. Opened a PR for the same. The fix should be available soon.

[ragesh-urolime]

Hi Team,

I am getting the same error now

[eaarora-ms]

@ragesh-urolime Can you please share the task name you're using?

[ragesh-urolime]

@ragesh-urolime Can you please share the task name you're using?

@eaarora-ms I am using AzureRmWebAppDeployment@4

& AzureAppServiceManage@0

[internoQQ]

@ragesh-urolime I have the same error as you let me know if you solve it

[ragesh-urolime]

@ragesh-urolime I have the same error as you let me know if you solve it

@internoQQ Sure. I haven't found any solution yet and it's showing up in all my release pipelines, though there were no changes done to the pipeline.

[adetayorabiu]

Getting the same warning messages on Azure Resource Group Deployment task

[eaarora-ms]

Hi,
We are working on the fix. Although it might take some time for the fix to roll out.

[eaarora-ms]

Hi, I have created a PR. It should be merged soon and the fix will roll out in a few days.
I am closing this conversation since the warnings are not related. Please feel free to create a new issue and tag me if you need any help.
