I am trying to deploy a webapp to azure through github actions, however the site/wwwroot folder is completely empty upon completion

Nothing fails within the pipeline
The artifact published has the correct files
If I manually FTP the files to wwwroot then it works as expected

Any ideas would be appreciated

Snippet of .yaml below

name: Build and deploy 
on:
  push:
    branches:
    - main    
  workflow_dispatch:
env:
  AZURE_WEBAPP_NAME: Name
  AZURE_WEBAPP_PACKAGE_PATH: Namepublish
  CONFIGURATION: Release
  DOTNET_CORE_VERSION: 6.0.x
  WORKING_DIRECTORY: Name
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: windows-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - name: Setup .NET SDK
      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v3
      with:
        dotnet-version: ${{ env.DOTNET_CORE_VERSION }}
    - name: Restore
      run: dotnet restore "${{ env.WORKING_DIRECTORY }}"
    - name: Build
      run: dotnet build "${{ env.WORKING_DIRECTORY }}" --configuration ${{ env.CONFIGURATION }} --no-restore
    - name: Test
      run: dotnet test "${{ env.WORKING_DIRECTORY }}" --no-build
    - name: Publish
      run: dotnet publish "${{ env.WORKING_DIRECTORY }}" --configuration ${{ env.CONFIGURATION }} --no-build --output "${{ env.AZURE_WEBAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}"
    - name: Publish Artifacts
      uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
      with:
        name: webapp
        path: ${{ env.AZURE_WEBAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}
  deploy:
    runs-on: windows-latest
    needs: build
    steps:
    - name: Download artifact from build job
      uses: actions/download-artifact@v3
      with:
        name: webapp
        path: ${{ env.AZURE_WEBAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}
    - name: Deploy to Azure WebApp
      uses: azure/webapps-deploy@v3
      with:
        app-name: ${{ env.AZURE_WEBAPP_NAME }}
        publish-profile: ${{ secrets.Name_BBF6 }}
        package: ${{ env.AZURE_WEBAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}

The response from @Harshitha ended up taking me down the right path, changing to v2 with package . led me to this issue Problem with deploying Web API C# to Azure App Service when i use github actions

Fixing this, in turn fixed my issue strangely, I think App Insights added this config setting automatically as I never manually set it.

Changing WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION = ~18 instead of 6.9.1 was the fix needed.

Thanks for your help.

(Edit)

The issue seems to be with your yaml file Upload and Deploy path.

In Azure portal, whenever you enable GitHub Actions settings while create Azure Web App Service

Configuring GitHub from Deployment Center,

yaml file will be generated automatically.You can check the preview option as well.

My yaml file:


name: Build and deploy ASP.Net Core app to Azure Web App - Core622Nov

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: windows-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Set up .NET Core
        uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
        with:
          dotnet-version: '6.0.x'
          include-prerelease: true

      - name: Build with dotnet
        run: dotnet build --configuration Release

      - name: dotnet publish
        run: dotnet publish -c Release -o ${{env.DOTNET_ROOT}}/myapp

      - name: Upload artifact for deployment job
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
        with:
          name: .net-app
          path: ${{env.DOTNET_ROOT}}/myapp

  deploy:
    runs-on: windows-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@v3
        with:
          name: .net-app

      - name: Deploy to Azure Web App
        id: deploy-to-webapp
        uses: azure/webapps-deploy@v2
        with:
          app-name: 'Core622Nov'
          slot-name: 'Production'
          publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AZUREAPPSERVICE_PUBLISHPROFILE_6C3057D1BD9741F5B2093B5402A8853F }}
