##[error]Error: Error : No such deploying method exists
Finishing: AzureRmWebAppDeployment
Using the code:
- task: AzureRmWebAppDeployment@4
inputs:
ConnectionType: 'PublishProfile'
PublishProfilePath: '$(publishprofile.secureFilePath)'
PublishProfilePassword: '<redacted>'
appType: 'webApp'
WebAppName: '<redacted>'
Package: '$(Pipeline.Workspace)/$(projectName).$(buildNumber)/published.zip'
DeploymentType: zipDeploy
I've tried using the publish profile generated by the Azure Portal and I've tried using the pubxml from Visual Studio.
Publishing through Visual Studio works without issue.
The following is an example of the pubxml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
