VSTS Web Deploy Arguments produce error

Question

I'm deploying an Angular JS app using web deploy on VSTS. I'm also trying to target a specific path on the Azure app service, specifically /home/site/ to deploy the project files.

If not specified, the app will just deploy to /home/site/wwwroot/

To target this specific path, I'm using arguments, here is the argument:

-verb:sync -source:contentPath="$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/Atlas-CI-Develop/atla s-ui/*.zip" -dest:contentPath="D:\home\site\PS.UI"
This is the only place I’m using the attribute verb, source or dest.
I’m getting an error

Answer 1

You can’t specify the -verb parameter if you’ve already used it once in build/release task.

Also -dest, -source will already be specified in the code of build/release task, You just the include them in the task UI.

Regarding the target path, you can add new virtual directory to Azure app service (Application settings=> Virtual applications and directories), then specify Virtual application in Azure App Service Deploy task.
