Stuck when publishing Web App to Azure with WebJob

Question

I just used the WebJob SDK to add a WebJob to my web app.

Now, when publishing the web app, VS is stuck when publishing (does not hang, but does not progress either).

I know it's caused by the WebJob because when I remove the webjobs-list.json , it publishes perfectly.

Weird thing is, publishing the WebJob alone (using Publish as Azure WebJob ) does not present this problem.

Using .NET Framework 4.5.1 if it matters. Update: 4.5 did not make a difference.

Here's an image of the problem:

Answer 1

Setting the "maximum number of parallel project builds" to 1 (default is 4) solved the problem for me. It is in Tools > Options > Projects and Solutions > Build and Run
