Visual Studio 2019 IIS 配置文件创建 web.config 文件，该文件破坏了 Azure 应用服务

Question

When creating a new Debug profile with Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.6.3 on a ASP.NET Core Web 3.1 project a web.config file is created.

The file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
    <system.webServer>
      <handlers>
        <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModuleV2" resourceType="Unspecified" />
      </handlers>
      <aspNetCore processPath="C:\Users\<USER>\Source\Project\Project.Web\bin\Debug\netcoreapp3.1\Project.Web.exe" arguments="" stdoutLogEnabled="false" hostingModel="InProcess">
        <environmentVariables>
          <environmentVariable name="ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT" value="Development" />
        </environmentVariables>
      </aspNetCore>
    </system.webServer>
  </location>
</configuration>

Errors present when accessing the site with web.config:

AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. (One or more errors occurred. (The NPM script 'start' exited without indicating that the create-react-app server was listening for requests. The error output was: )) System.Threading.Tasks.Task.ThrowIfExceptional(bool includeTaskCanceledExceptions)

InvalidOperationException: The NPM script 'start' exited without indicating that the create-react-app server was listening for requests. The error output was: Microsoft.AspNetCore.SpaServices.ReactDevelopmentServer.ReactDevelopmentServerMiddleware.StartCreateReactAppServerAsync(string sourcePath, string npmScriptName, ILogger logger)

Answer 1

I first thought that the exact aspNetCore processPath was the culprit but given the error it more looked like code from Startup.cs .

if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
    spa.UseReactDevelopmentServer(npmScript: "start");
}

Looking at the actual file deployed it confirmed my suspicions, the path was relative here.

I needed to set ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT as Production . Solved this by creating a new web.release.config file since I needed to test the application on an actual IIS with ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT as Development . With this transformation everything worked:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">

  <!-- To customize the asp.net core module uncomment and edit the following section. 
  For more info see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=838655 -->
  <!--
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <remove name="aspNetCore"/>
      <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModule" resourceType="Unspecified"/>
    </handlers>
    <aspNetCore processPath="%LAUNCHER_PATH%" arguments="%LAUNCHER_ARGS%" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" />
  </system.webServer>
  -->

  <location>
    <system.webServer>
      <aspNetCore>
        <environmentVariables>
          <environmentVariable name="ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT" value="Production" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" />
        </environmentVariables>
      </aspNetCore>
    </system.webServer>
  </location>

</configuration>
