Running incorrect file on Azure through Github Actions Workflow ASP .Net multifile project

Question

i am trying to deploy my ASP .Net MVC Core web-app to Azure through Github actions. When running it on localhost everything works, but when deploying (the deploy process goes perfectly) to Azure it shows the error 500. enter image description here

I have set connection string and everything well (i guess), I think there could be problems with my Workflow. When trying to check it from Kudu and run the file that i run on localhost it works finemy Web file is the main one

I have tried writing different things in my Workflow, which looks like this:

# Docs for the Azure Web Apps Deploy action: https://github.com/Azure/webapps-deploy
# More GitHub Actions for Azure: https://github.com/Azure/actions

I tried your code, made few changes, and was able to deploy the app to Azure App Service via GitHub actions.

This is my .yml file :

name: Build and deploy ASP.Net Core app to Azure Web App - Dotnetapptest
on:
push:
branches:
- master
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
build:
runs-on: windows-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- name: Set up .NET Core
uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v1
with:
dotnet-version: '8.x'
include-prerelease: true
- name: Build with dotnet
run: dotnet build --configuration Release
- name: dotnet publish
run: dotnet publish -c Release -o ${{env.DOTNET_ROOT}}/myapp
- name: Upload artifact for deployment job
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
with
name: .net-app
path: ${{env.DOTNET_ROOT}}/myapp
deploy:
runs-on: windows-latest
needs: build
environment
name: 'Production'
url: ${{ steps.deploy-to-webapp.outputs.webapp-url }}
steps:
- name: Download artifact from build job
uses: actions/download-artifact@v3
with:
name: .net-app
- name: Deploy to Azure Web App
id: deploy-to-webapp
uses: azure/webapps-deploy@v2
with:
app-name: 'Dotnetapptest'
slot-name: 'Production'
publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AZUREAPPSERVICE_PUBLISHPROFILE_7DFA6BD4ADDE43EA98EAC01EEFCA5CD0 }}
package: .

Ensure that you add the ClientID and Client Secret correctly in your application settings for your Azure App Service.

I deployed the app through GitHub.

This is local output :

Here's the output after deployment:
