Unable to correctly deploy function with sample_yaml_builds/dotnet-windows.yml

[zahess]

I am using sample_yaml_builds/dotnet-windows.yml as a template for building and publishing an azure function project in Azure DevOps. I am not building and deploying in the same step, rather I intend to publish the zip file as a build artifact and deploy from a separate pipeline.

I have both pipelines (build and deploy) set up, and they both run successfully, however I am unable to see my functions through azure portal after deployment. The portal does show that a package has been deployed and even correctly indiactes the build from which it is deployed. However the functions are not available.

I examined my build artifact and compared that to the results of publishing to a folder from Visual Studio and found that the build artifact zip contained an additional root folder (with the same name as my solution file) that then contained the published outputs; the results of publishing to a folder from VS did not contain this additional directory layer.

I modified my build file, setting modifyOutputPath: false for the DotNetCoreCLI task, and this result was then consistent with VS publish. The new artifact deployed successfully to Azure with expected results.

I am submitting this issue for repro with the suggestion that modifyOutputPath be set to false if generated build artifacts do not deploy as expected
