Azure WebJob deployment keeps failing

Since yesterday I'm suddenly having consistent deployment failures for my existing WebJobs. The error I'm getting is

Start Web Deploy Publish the Application/package to https://octotrip-api-test-dev.scm.azurewebsites.net/msdeploy.axd?site=octotrip-api-test__dev ...

An error was encountered when processing operation 'Create Directory' on 'D:\home\site\wwwroot\app_data\jobs\continuous'.
The error code was 0x800700B7.
Cannot create "D:\home\site\wwwroot\app_data\jobs\continuous" because a file or directory with the same name already exists.

at Microsoft.Web.Deployment.DirPathProviderBase.Add(DeploymentObject source, Boolean whatIf)
Publish failed to deploy.

Important to note that at the time of the deployment; there is no app_data folder (I removed it manually using FTP). You can see it is creating the folder structure step by step; app_data, then the jobs folder, then the continuous folder. I confirmed using FTP that he succesfully creates the app_data/jobs folder; but creating the continuous folder consistently crashes.

This happens when deploying using a build definition in VSTS as well as deploying as a WebJob from within Visual Studio; with all the WebJob NuGet up to date.

Thanks

Solution

  • It is very odd that can't create folder for WebJob. I can't repro it in my side. Do you have a try to deploy it to another website to check whether it can be repro? Based on my experience, we could troubleshoot with following ways:

    1. Restart the Website

    2. If it is possible try to redeploy the Website and remove additional files at destination

    1. Scale up and scale down back Service plan

    Note:change will be applied to all WebApps in the ServicePlan
