Is it possible to do continuous deployment CI/CD of an Azure Function through a Linux Environment via Azure DevOps?

Question

When creating a function in Azure through a Linux environment it seems CI/CD is completely missing from it's capabilities as I can't see any actual files. My VS code tells me this

Error: This plan does not support viewing files.

and when I try to deploy my files to the server through the Azure pipeline everything works except for the Azure App Service Deploy

Which tells me this.

2020-04-21T19:48:37.6676043Z ##[error]Failed to deploy web package to App Service.
2020-04-21T19:48:37.6689536Z ##[error]Error: Error: Failed to deploy web package to App Service. Conflict (CODE: 409)

I did get it working directly through VS Code with a windows environment and didn't notice any of those issues.

Can you confirm this is not possible through Linux or perhaps there is a solution for what I am looking for.

The answer is Yes.

To deploy a Azure Function, you should use Azure Function App task instead of Azure App Service Deploy task. For below example.

steps:
- task: AzureFunctionApp@1
  inputs:
    azureSubscription: '<Azure service connection>'
    appType: functionAppLinux
    appName: '<Name of function app>'
    #Uncomment the next lines to deploy to a deployment slot
    #Note that deployment slots is not supported for Linux Dynamic SKU
    #deployToSlotOrASE: true
    #resourceGroupName: '<Resource Group Name>'
    #slotName: '<Slot name>'
