I have been facing this issue particularly today while deploying my application to the azure environment using Azure Devops.
One of the deployment task fails with the following eror message:
##[debug]Deployment Failed with Error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'scmUri' of undefined
When I retry to deploy a couple of times it succeeds and deployment is successfully done.
What is the issue causing this error?
Microsoft is aware:
We're investigating Intermittent failures of Release Pipelines in West Europe.
Customer using Azure App Service Deploy task in their Release Pipelines might see intermittent errors like: "##[error]TypeError: Cannot read property 'scmUri' of undefined"
Retrying the release may succeed.
