Failure when settings continuous deployment of webapps on Azure

When I try to set up continuous deployment through GitHub Actions on an App Service (either a Asp.NET app or a Node app), I get a Failed to set up deployment: Cannot find SourceControlToken with name GitHub error.

I’ve ensured Azure App Service is authorized on my account’s authorized OAuth Apps, but I haven’t found any further instructions on whether there are any settings I must change on Github’s side.

What I found here on SO was Deploying website from private Github repository using ARM Templates, that pointed me to check whether there’s a token set on /providers/Microsoft.Web/sourcecontrols/GitHub resource, which there is (token obscured by me of course):

{
  "id": null,
  "name": "GitHub",
  "type": "Microsoft.Web/sourcecontrols",
  "properties": {
    "name": "GitHub",
    "token": "***************************************",
    "tokenSecret": null,
    "refreshToken": null,
    "environment": null
  }
}

The same also happens if I try and set up CD with the App Service Build Service. I’ve tried changing the token already there for a new fresh token I manually generated on Github, but still, no go. The same happens with a different Github account as well. How should I set up CD for my Azure App Service?

    Check the below steps for Continuous deployment of Azure Web Apps.

    • In Azure Portal Create an App Service.
      enter image description here

    • Create a Node JS App from either VSCode or Visual Studio and push the source to GitHub Repository.

    • From Deployment Center => Settings =>select the Source GitHub Under Continuous Deployment.

    • We need to Authorize the GitHub Account and select the correct repository and branch.
      enter image description here

    • Once we connect to the GitHub a new folder .github/workflows will be created with the workflow(yaml file).

    My Yml file*

    
name: Build and deploy Node.js app to Azure Web App - NodeApp6Dec

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Set up Node.js version
        uses: actions/setup-node@v1
        with:
          node-version: '16.x'

      - name: npm install, build, and test
        run: |
          npm install
          npm run build --if-present
          npm run test --if-present

      - name: Upload artifact for deployment job
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: node-app
          path: .

  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: build
    environment:
      name: 'production'
      url: ${{ steps.deploy-to-webapp.outputs.webapp-url }}

    steps:
      - name: Download artifact from build job
        uses: actions/download-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: node-app

      - name: 'Deploy to Azure Web App'
        id: deploy-to-webapp
        uses: azure/webapps-deploy@v2
        with:
          app-name: 'NodeApp6Dec'
          slot-name: 'production'
          publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AzureAppService_PublishProfile_acc907cfa07 }}
          package: .

    OutPut:

    • If you want to make any changes to the yml file, go to the GitHub Repository => Workflows => .github/workflows folder => click on the file and edit.

    Failed to set up deployment: Cannot find SourceControlToken with name GitHub

    • As mentioned above we need to authorize the GitHub Account. Also make sure AzureApp service is registered in Authorized OAuth Apps in GitHub.

    In your GitHub Account => in the right paneSettings => left pane applications => Authorized OAuth Apps.

    Try running this in azure console (terminal-looking icon on top right).

    Set-AzResource -PropertyObject @{token=$github_pat} -ResourceId /providers/Microsoft.Web/sourcecontrols/GitHub
