Deploying static file to Azure App Service using Azure CLI

I’m trying to deploy a single file to an Azure App Service website using the Azure cli command as below:

    az webapp deploy --resource-group <group-name> --name <app-name> --src-path config.json --type=static

But when I run it I get an error stating:

    ERROR: An error occured during deployment. Status Code: 400, Details: "Path must be defined for type='Static'"

So then I define a path and get:

    ERROR: unrecognized arguments: --path=/home/site/wwwroot/xxx.json

I’m assuming this is because my website is not static. I just want to deploy a single file from a known location in DevOps to the root directory on the website.

Any ideas how to solve this? thank you.

    I tried in my environment and got below results:

    Initially I tried same commands to deploy a single file to an Azure App Service and got similar error.

    Commands:

       az webapp deploy --resource-group <group-name> --name <app-name> --src-path config.json --type=static

    Console:

    According to this Ms-Docs we need to deploy a file with source path and target path.

    Commands:

    az webapp deploy --resource-group ResouceGroup --name AppName --src-path SourcePath --type static --target-path staticfiles/test.txt

    I tried the above command which can deploy a file to azure app service.

    Console:

    You can check the deployments in the portal by
    App-service -> advanced tools -> go -> Debug console ->path which you have stored.

    Venkatesan’s answer is correct.

    Your understanding of ‘Static’ is not correct.

    See this official document:

    https://github.com/microsoft/azure-maven-plugins/wiki/Azure-Web-App:-Configuration-Details#resource

    So no need type.

    On my side I just run two commands:

    @{} | ConvertTo-Json | Out-File "xxx.json"

    az webapp deploy --resource-group xxx --name xxx --src-path xxx.json --target-path site/wwwroot/xxx.json

    It works:

    If you only need to change one time and your app service, directly move the file with mouse is a possible way.

    You can also use FTP method for automatic changing.
