Azure function error: app does not support remote build as it was created before August 1st, 2019

Question

I am trying to deploy my azure function with VS code using func azure functionapp publish nhtsa --build remote and I am getting below error.

Remote build is a new feature added to function apps. Your function app does not support remote build as it was created before August 1st, 2019. Please use '--build local' or '--build-native-deps'. For more information, please visit https://aka.ms/remotebuild

I thought it's because of the storage account access -tier and access level, so I change my storage account tier to cool and container access to public, and I deploy the function again, and I'm still getting the error.

Any idea how I can resolve this issue.

Thanks

Answer 1

As the error specified, it is not supported for function app created before August 1, 2019 (see documentation):

If you're having issues with remote build, it might be because your app was created before the feature was made available (August 1, 2019). Try creating a new function app, or running az functionapp update -g <RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME> -n <APP_NAME> to update your function app. This command might take two tries to succeed.

Thanks, @Thomas, I updated my function app using this cmd az functionapp update -g <RESOURCE_GROUP_NAME> -n <APP_NAME> and I deployed it again,and I'm still getting the same error. – Nimocks

did you try to update multiple times as suggested in the documentation ? – Ciprian

Yes @Ciprian , i tried multiple times and it's returning some JSON content when i try to update app. I create a new function app in portal and I deploy it again, and that didn't work too. – Nimocks

do I have to change anything in host.json ??? { "version": "2.0", "logging": { "applicationInsights": { "samplingSettings": { "isEnabled": true, "excludedTypes": "Request" } } }, "extensionBundle": { "id": "Microsoft.Azure.Functions.ExtensionBundle", "version": "[1.*, 2.0.0)" } } – Nimocks

I dont think so, could you past your build steps ? how it is configured ? – Ciprian

Is it linux, windows ? for linux you need these two app settings: ENABLE_ORYX_BUILD=true, SCM_DO_BUILD_DURING_DEPLOYMENT=true. It also needs to be zip deploy, not run from package. – Ciprian

Yes it is Iinux,, I added two app settings (added screenshot to post) and also changed the function app runtime version to 2, and still it is not working. – Nimocks

Answer 2

I had the same issue the solution was to fix the "defaultAction" It should be "Allow"
