WebJob cannot be added from portal if deployment form source control is configured

Question

Today we experienced the following message in Azure Portal

WebJob cannot be added from portal if deployment form source control is configured.

Answer 1

I used Kudu console to upload the webjobs

You can go to the path D:\home\site\wwwroot\App_Data\jobs\ and then upload the webjob folder here and then this shows up in your Webjobs portal as well

Answer 2

We had the same issue and noticed there was an old deployment pipeline connected to our web job in the Deployment Center blade. Disconnecting this solved the problem for us and we were able to manually deploy.

Answer 3

Kudu Console

The workaround that worked for me was uploading the webjob directly via the Kudu Console.

Open the Kudu Console by selecting "Advanced Tool" --> "Go" in Your App Service on the Azure Portal.

Once on the Kudu portal open a "Debug Console" --> "CMD"

Go to the directory for your webjobs: "d:\home\site\wwwroot\app_data\jobs\continuous\{job name}" (https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/WebJobs)

Then drag and drop the .zip file you prepared to upload your webjob (https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Kudu-console)

The job will now be listed on the Azure Portal and be started.

Answer 4

We solved it by not disconnecting a pipeline.

We solved it by implementing a seperate WebJob Build/Release Pipeline.

Here are the steps that worked for us:

In Azure Portal

• Create a virtual application in your app service

In DevOps

• In your build pipeline Important Notice: add the following Argument: --output $(build.artifactstagingdirectory) to the build step.

• In your release pipeline

This deploys the WebJob to the correct directory. In our case: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/_ms-reporting-webjob-dev-CI/drop

Having a look at the Kudo Console in our App Service the file location for our WebJob is:

Answer 5

I used the following physical path in the Virtual Application and it solved it for us

site\wwwroot\App_Data\jobs\triggered\jobname
