Azure Function - Portal Code Deployment feature is skipping build

Question

I have create a function app using visual studio code and then published it. Function app works fine. I am now using code deployment feature(KUDU) in the function portal and its skipping the build. Below is the log

9:55:46 AM       Updating submodules.   
9:55:47 AM       Preparing deployment for commit id '5642d3aeec'.   
9:55:48 AM       Skipping build. Project type: Run-From-Zip 
9:55:48 AM       Skipping post build. Project type: Run-From-Zip    
9:55:48 AM      Triggering recycle (preview mode disabled). 
9:55:49 AM      Syncing 4 function triggers with payload size 452 bytes successful. 
9:55:50 AM      Deployment successful.

Deployment is happening when ever the code is checked in to Github. But its not picking the latest code. I did set the app setting WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE to "1".

What changes do I need to make to pick the latest build.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

I have had a similar scenario and a similar experience, but I did not manually set WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE, though I found it set to 1. I assume it was set by the VS Code deployment, which first created the Azure Functions App. Then when I switched to using Kudu Continuous Integration, the setting was still around. I deleted that setting from Configuration, and now the problem is fixed.
