Deploy json file in App_Data folder Azure App Service linux

Octopus Server

Hi,

Having a bit of an issue trying to deploy a json file in a .NET application to Azure App Service running in/on a linux based container.

In our nuget package, built by Team City we have a file App_Data\StubData.json.

When we deploy Azure the StubData.json file does not end up in the App_Data folder or deployed anywhere.

The Preserve App_Data setting in process step is not set so should be false by all accounts.

Any ideas?

Regards

John

Hi @john2

Thanks for getting in touch! Sorry to hear that you’ve run into an issue with a missing json file after deployment.

It sounds like you could set the Preserve App_Data setting in the step to true so that the delete operations in the App_Data directory are skipped.

Could you try that and let me know how you get on, please?

Regards,

Hi Stuart,

That hasn’t seemed to have any effect. I altered the Project process such that Preserve App_Data was true. Re-ran and an old deployment with an old build, then created a Release with the current build and deployed. No joy :slightly_frowning_face:

For Preserve App_Data from the UI we have “Select to preserve files in the App_Data folder before deployment.” which I read as it will keep the data in there if set, but whatever it does it does it before deployment.

I have retrieved the Octopus logs from the deployment server and our file does get mention so suspect it is going somewhere - just can’t figure out where.

Regards

Ok think found the file now - it is out there - just perhaps not where we thought is was going to be. Sorry for the bother.
