Using 'Redeploy' command doesn't work, results in 'Failed to get status of deployment' message

[bengrah-miller]

Hi there,

In the Deployments section of our service, you can see a list of deployments that have been done previously as well as the one that is active. If you right click on one of these items, you can Redploy that commit, I'm assuming meaning that you make that commit live as opposed to the latest commit that you've deployed.

However, when I try this, I get the following message:

2:48:39 PM MyApp-dev: Redeploying commit "bab3bd768e2f4b0ba27ffd1110058e86" to "MyApp-dev"...
12:49:44 PM: Error: Failed to get status of deployment.

Any ideas why this would be?

Hi @bengrah-miller

Do you know what your app's deployment configuration is? Redeploy only works if it's a git based deployment.

Also, could you let us know what kind of app this is? The azuretools team is responsible for both app service and functions, so I can't really tell which extension this is.

Hi @nturinski - I hadn't realised it was a Git project related function, I thought it was used to redeploy an earlier commit. Basically we're using the VSCode extensions Azure Resources and Azure App Services. I was using the Re-deploy functionality thinking I could redeploy an earlier update if required:

The project we're getting this issue on isn't a Git-integrated project, it's just an app service.

Thanks.

@nturinski should this be moved to one of the extension repos?

Similar to the other issue-- it's technically something the appservice package. That being said, I think that we can close this issue since redeploy is only intended to work for git-based deployments. This user was using zip deployment, so it just shows a history of all of their pushes.

It may be worth changing the error message or disabling the ability to redeploy, perhaps?
