Problem with pipelines deploy to Azure App service

[Mike Howarth _Administrator_]

During the deployment phase of the pipeline the az login succeeds but the deploy command  seems to be return invalid json(see below)

No changes have been made to the pipelines yaml config file since the last successful deploy. The previous successful deploy was only 1 hour prior to the failed deploy.

Any help would be appreciated.

I appreciate the response.

@Mike Howarth _Administrator_ hi. Don't know exactly how to solve your initial problem.

But have you tried to use Bitbucket Pipes for Azure?

Maybe some of them will cover your case.

Regards, Igor

Thanks Igor. As it happens the pipeline has stated working again without any action from ourselves so it looks like it was an issue with Pipelines yesterday.

I have been successfully using the microsoft/azure-web-apps-deploy pipe from Bitbucket Pipes for Azure for deployment to azure app services for several years now but after following your link I see their is a new version (1.1.0) rather than the older 1.0.3 that I have been using). Thanks for that suggestion.

I appreciate the response Igor, thanks once again.
