Is WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_CACHE=true compatible GITHUB ACTION DEPLOYMENT ? (Linux app service)

[nklido]

I have setup github actions for deployment of a laravel app in linux app service

When the WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_CACHE is set true, the deployment seems to work as expected

Command: bash deploy.sh

Handling Basic Web Site deployment.

Kudu sync from: '/tmp/zipdeploy/extracted' to: '/home/site/wwwroot'

Ignoring: .deployment
Copying file: '.gitattributes'
Copying file: '.gitignore'
Copying file: '.gitmodules'
Copying file: 'Readme.md'
Copying file: 'artisan'
Copying file: 'composer.json'
Copying file: 'composer.lock'
Ignoring: deploy.sh
...

But then when I go to .scm.azurewebsites.net/webssh/host under home/site/wwwroot
I see only the default hostingstart.html

If I disable the WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_CACHE, then i can see all the project files under home/site/wwwroot

Is there a way to make WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_CACHE work with github actions or must I use a different option like App Service Build Service.?

@nklido I'll point out that WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_CACHE=true is not compatible with "Run from Package" zip deploy (aka Run from Package). Both options copy files to a read only volume share and mount it to /home/site/wwwroot. I hope this helps a little, as I haven't researched the Github action myself. It's been a while since I used it with app service, but I feel like it can use other deploy methods.

** Correcting this. I meant WEBSITES_ENABLE_APP_CACHE isn't compatible with WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE
