Azure App service zip deploy failure that used to work (Legacy react app)

I am trying to redeploy a legacy react application via Zip Deploy. The application hasn't changed, but the deployment is now failing. I reverted to a previous deployment zip (that was successfully deploy in November 2022) and it fails with the same error message. Here is the error trace:

Any ideas what could have changed on the Azure App Service Zip Deploy?
Solution

  • I got it working. The WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION application setting was set to an older Node version. This worked previously, but I am guessing that the older Node version was no longer available and the ZIPDeploy deployment scripts must be relying on a newer version. I updated it in the app setting and now everything it working with the ZipDeploy.
