Visual Studio Team Services Azure部署（无法对指定目录执行操作（“删除文件”））

Question

Heys guys,

I'm trying to deploy my NodeJS web app from Visual Studio Team Services to Azure using the build steps:

1. npm
2. Gulp
3. Azure Web App Deployment

Everything works fine when I stopped the app in Azure manually before deploying. But when I deploy while the app is running I get the following error on the last build step (3):

Unable to perform the operation ("Delete File") for the specified directory ("D:\home\site\wwwroot\logs\error.log"). This can occur if the server administrator has not authorized this operation for the user credentials you are using. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS_TO_SITE_FOLDER.

I doubt the build process has insufficient rights, but think the log file to override is still in use by the running web app.

I did not include the logs folder in my repository.

Anyone experienced this issue and can give some hints (might be automatically stopping and starting the services or prevent the build process from touching the file generally because it is not really necessary)?

For everybody stumbling across:

The solution was to stop the services before the Azure Web App Deployment with a Powershell script and to start them afterwards.
