Unable to deploy a linux typescript functionapp

Not entirely sure if this is where I should write the issue. Technically not an issue of the action, but perhaps an underlying azure platform issue.

When I build and deploy my typescript functionapp, the deploy succeeds, but the function app is totally messed up. Here’s what I’ve found.

1. Github action logs indicate deployment was successful:

##[Initialize]
##[ValidateParameter]
##[ValidateAzureResource]
Using SCM credential for authentication, GitHub Action will not perform resource validation.
Sucessfully acquired app settings from function app (SCM)!
##[PreparePublishContent]
Will directly deploy ./app/app.zip as function app content
Will use api/zipdeploy to deploy (scm credential)
##[PublishContent]

Package deployment using ZIP Deploy initiated.
Deploy logs can be viewed at https://app.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/deployments/<xxxxxx>/log
Successfully deployed web package to App Service.
Successfully updated deployment History at https://app.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/deployments/<xxxx>

1. When I navigate to the function app and click on functions, no functions are present
2. When I click on files, I can see the root files are there (host.json, package.json)
3. When I go to the storage area and download the zip file and try to expand it, it fails saying it is an unsupported format (I’m on a mac).

If I switch over to use azure function core tools and use that to publish the function, it works without issue.

Any updates on this? This is still not working for me for a Linux Consumption plan. I looked at the deployment logs before they disappeared and it seemed like the package that was being generated was pretty much empty:

To get around this issue, I resorted to zipping my project myself and then deploying the zip using:

az functionapp deployment source config-zip -g <resource_group> -n <app_name> --src <zip_file_path>

This works great.

GitHub actions fails for me too. I have tried all the options listed above but none of them seem to work.

Stopping it first before deploying as listed in Azure/functions-action#26 didn’t work either.
