Unable to prevent removing old files

[alessioGit83]

Hello,
I'm trying to use the tool to deploy code into Azure App Service.
The deploy process works but even if I not declare the /d parameter, the deploy process remove all old files not present in the new deployment.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Alessio

I just tried and was not able to repro. Steps I used:

• Create new Azure Web App, which comes with a hostingstart.html
• Download the publish profile
• Use WAWSdeploy to publish a folder with one test file (just a foo.txt at the root), without passing any flags

Result: the new file gets published, and the existing hostingstart.html is still there

Please try these exact steps.

Hello, Try to deploy the same folder with a different file. In my case the file deployed previously has been removed by the new deployment. Thanks Alessio Il mar 28 mag 2024, 17:11 David Ebbo ***@***.***> ha scritto:

It does not happen for me. After redeploying with a different file, I still have all the original files.

To help isolate, please try again with a fresh site as per my steps above.

Can you attach the publishSetting used for deploy? Thanks Alessio Il mar 28 mag 2024, 17:49 David Ebbo ***@***.***> ha scritto:

I used the publishSetting file provided by azure portal. Do you use the same approach? Il mar 28 mag 2024, 17:52 Alessio Fabriziani ***@***.***> ha scritto:

Yes, I just downloaded it from the portal.

Have you tried with a fresh new app, just to make sure that there is nothing unusual about yours?

[alessioGit83]

I can't test on a new app unfortunately. Can you send me some examples about the usage? Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Thanks Il mar 28 mag 2024, 18:21 David Ebbo ***@***.***> ha scritto:

Why can't you test on a new app? I just created a free app, and it's ready in a minute at no cost.

Usage wise, all I did is run wawsdeploy c:\testfolder testsite.PublishSettings.

[alessioGit83]

I tested with new service app. First deploy under wwwroot: deployed 10 folders with 10 files inside each folder. Second deploy under wwwroot: change only some files inside one folder...after deploy all other folders removed. Inside the folder with modified files, only this files are present, all others deleted.

Strange, I cannot explain it. Note that WAWSDeploy is just a thin wrapper on top of msdeploy.exe. See https://blog.davidebbo.com/2014/03/WAWSDeploy.html for details (and also look at the WAWSDeploy code to see how it calls it).

It would be interesting to see if you get the same results when using msdeploy.exe directly. If so, that takes WAWSDeploy out of the equation.
