Azure deploy from Github broke

Question

I've been deploying from archive to Azure for a while. All of a sudden it stopped working. I can still build locally and on AppVeyor's CI. I finally gave up and Web deployed from Visual Studio. Site is working just fine. There's not much I can find on how to fix this. There also does not seem to be a way to remove the deployment slot from the Azure web site. Sure would like to get deployment from source control working again.

Here's the log.

  Restoring NuGet packages...
  To prevent NuGet from downloading packages during build, open the Visual Studio Options dialog, click on the Package Manager node and uncheck 'Allow NuGet to download missing packages'.

Answer 1

Based on the error, I'd guess that you forgot to add cdn\images\blog\VistaWeatherGadgetUpdated_108DB\image_4.png to your repo. Please see this page for advice on investigating this kind of issues.
