How can I retrieve files within a repo in Azure within a Powershell script?

I need to (within a Powershell script) determine all the possible controller file names within a repository. This is for a test that will hit every controller and verify it is functioning and not missing from the startup file. (MVC app)

Since all the files are DLLs I cannot simply ask for the files in the folder nor do I want to hard code the names. How can I get a listing of files within a certain folder in order call each one to test within a powershell script?

Perhaps a better way to ask this is: How can I list files within a folder that is inside a repo? (using a Powershell script)

You could refer to this doc:Interacting with Azure Web Apps Virtual File System using PowerShell and the Kudu API. It uses the VFS API in the wiki doc. And there is a api to list files at directory specified by path.

GET /api/vfs/{path}/
Lists files at directory specified by path.

And in the previous doc, under the title Downloading a File from an App Service, there is a scripts to download the files. I use the path without $kuduPath to list files. And you need to Getting the Kudu REST API Authorisation header via PowerShell. And then the scripts would be like this.

$kuduApiUrl="https://<webname>.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/vfs/site/wwwroot/"
 Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $kuduApiUrl `
 -Headers @{"Authorization"=$kuduApiAuthorisationToken;"If-Match"="*"} `
 -Method GET `
 -OutFile $localPath `
 -ContentType "multipart/form-data"

And here is the result pic.It will list all files and the folders.

hope this could help you, if you still have other questions,please let me know.
