az functionapp deployment source config-zip - does not deploy .zip as expected

[JamesPScottPharm3r]

Describe the bug

We've been using az functionapp deployment source config-zip to deploy our Azure functions to linux successfully for a year.

On the weekend when the Azure Function was deployed it was no longer finding any of our routes.

When I investigated further it was because the .zip file parameter (--src) was no longer using the contents of the specified .zip file. Instead it seemed to be writing the .zip filename string as txt in the .zip file and then that was the uploaded code. (So ya, no routes).

e.g. az functionapp deployment source config-zip --src ./someapp.zip

Instead of using the contents of the someapp.zip file it uploads a file named someapp.zip with ./someapp.zip echoed in its contents.

This was in production, so not a very ideal behavior to have all our function routes disappear.

The only way I could fix it was to hardcode a previous az cli version and run that through the github actions pipeline.

Related command

az functionapp deployment source config-zip --src ./nolongerworks.zip

Errors

No errors, it acts like everything is fine, but your Azure Function is dead in the water with no routes, paths etc.

Issue script & Debug output

--debug

Expected behavior

It should deploy as expected.

Environment Summary

2.77.0 - latest version that would be deployed in github actions.

Additional context

Should likely be fixed quickly before it impacts other customers too.

Possible solution (Extracted from existing issue, might be incorrect; please verify carefully)

Solution 1:

I've temporarily worked around this in ADO classic releases by putting a task in the stage that just runs this: pip install azure-cli==2.76.0 and it works for me.

Solution 2:

As a workaround, this is what we're doing in our release pipelines. We're using the Azure CLI task then we use the azure cli docker image within the Inline Script within the task:

docker run --rm \
  -v "$AZURE_CONFIG_DIR":/root/.azure \
  -v "$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/_MyApp/drop":/workspace \
  -w /workspace \
  mcr.microsoft.com/azure-cli:2.76.0 \
  az functionapp deployment source config-zip \
  --name my-function \
  --resource-group my-resource-group \
  --src MyApp.zip \
  --subscription my-subscription \
  --debug

Solution 3:

If you need the downgrade script for in a dockerfile:

# Install latest azure cli
RUN curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | bash
# Downgrade it
RUN apt-get install -y --allow-downgrades  azure-cli=2.76.0-1~bookworm

The lsb (bookworm) can be different depending on your base image.
