Migration scripts not found when using Azure App Service

Configuration: C# .Net 4.6.2 Azure SQL Server V12 Azure App Service

Migration Launcher:

try
{
	string connectionString = Settings.GetSettings().DatabaseConnectionString;
	SqlConnection cnx = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
	Evolve.Evolve evolve = new Evolve.Evolve(cnx, msg => Trace.TraceInformation(msg))
	{
		Driver = "SqlClient", //Connect to SQL Server
		Locations = new List<string> { "db/migrations" },
		IsEraseDisabled = true, //Do not allow Erasing of schema
		EnableClusterMode = true //Ensure that no other instances also attempt to migrate the database as the same time
	};

	evolve.Migrate();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
	Trace.TraceError("Database migration failed.", ex);
	throw;
}
}

SQL files have been written and are uploaded to the web server:

During start the following logs are provided

Application: 2018-08-30T14:46:57  PID[5928] Information Executing Migrate...
Application: 2018-08-30T14:46:57  PID[5928] Information Evolve initialized.
Application: 2018-08-30T14:46:57  PID[5928] Information No metadata found.
Application: 2018-08-30T14:46:57  PID[5928] Information Database is up to date. No migration needed.

And a single blank changelog table has been created:

As far as I can tell I’ve followed all the requirements for using Evolve but I’m unsure of how to troubleshoot this issue further, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all your assistance, after a few experiments I discovered that the working directory on an Azure App Service is fixed to D:\Windows\System32. thus all uses of DirectoryInfo where branching off of there. using …/db/migrations" didn’t help either as this returned to the root of the D drive. To fix I added the following code:

string currentPath = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~");
Locations = new List<string> { currentPath + "db\\migrations" },

This maps to the correct root folder which can then be changed to the correct relative folder.

To assist with future debugging may I suggest a branch from here: https://github.com/lecaillon/Evolve/blob/25dab78a7dd969ef4316063aa43b2fa1ed990329/src/Evolve/Migration/FileMigrationLoader.cs#L29 which would write a message if it was unable to locate the directory (ideally with the offending path)?

Nice, i did not know. I will think about a way of logging locations that do not exist.

Can I change your title issue to something like: “Scripts not found in Azure App Service” ?
