Team Services Azure App Service Deploy failure - Virtual Application characters?

Question

I have 2 Azure App Service Deploy steps in a Team Services build, they have the same Subscription details. The only difference is that they target different virtual applications - the one that fails contains an é character, could that be the cause? Here the step output:

It's almost as if the Powershell command itself is broken, I'm guessing by the special character.

Answer 1

It maybe not the special character causes that issue. I try to deploy the virtual Application with the special characters é , following is my detail steps. Hope it is useful. We also can get moreinfo about WebDeploy error code please refer to document .

1.Create a new build definition for the project

2.Select build solution corresponding VS version.

3. Before config Azure App Service Deployment, we need to create a WebApp in the Azure portal and the edit the appsetting to add the Virtual applications info

4. Config the Azure App Service Deployment with service name and Virtual application created in the step3

5.New Queue build for the build definition

6. Then we can check that it deployed successfully from deployment log or from kudu.

Answer 2

This is now working as expected, without me making any changes. Having informed MS of the issue, I can only conclude they've released a fix to the build task.
