Azure WebApp - Unable to auto-detect the runtime stack of your app

I'm trying to create Web App which is just having a Static HTML. I'm following this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/app-service-web-get-started-html. But when I execute the following command

az webapp up --location westeurope --name .

Got the error - " Could not auto-detect the runtime stack of your app" .

To overcome this error you will need to:

cd {directory}
pip freeze > requirements.txt

The file does not need to have anything just needs to exist as azure looks for the files presence when running the deployment

at end of az webapp command you have give run time stack if you are using an html page then --html you must give

Ex: az webapp up --location westeurope --name az204samplewebapphtml1 --html

Make sure you're running the command "az webapp up --location westeurope --name" from your application root, ie inside 'html-docs-hello-world' folder.

I had the same problem. I solved it by using the flag --html to define explicitly the runtime according to the documentation of the runtime detection. https://github.com/Azure/app-service-linux-docs/blob/master/AzWebAppUP/runtime_detection.md

So, the solution is the following line of code:

az webapp up --location westeurope --name <name> --html

N.B: I used Azure cloud shell.

I tried the following, but added the --html flag at the end of the az webapp up command to bypass auto detection:

mkdir quickstart
cd quickstart
git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/html-docs-hello-world.git
cd html-docs-hello-world
az webapp up --location westeurope --name azurewebapptest123 --html

That forces HTML. In the help for the command it implies auto-detection works for a bunch of language, but not for static HTML.

I have tried the similar steps using the sample repo and was able to reproduce it.

enter image description here

Here is the version:

enter image description here

It's a known bug for Azure CLI 2.0.78 and team is working on it, Which you can track it here:

https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/43633

Work around of this issue is to use the older version of Azure CLi e.g. 2.0.75 * for deploying the solution.

Hope it helps.

mkdir quickstart
cd quickstart
git clone https://github.com/Azure-Samples/html-docs-hello-world.git
cd html-docs-hello-world
az webapp up --location westeurope --name azurewebapptest123

Try to manually include a web.config file and/or select the stack on General Settings:

If you have no backend, the best option to host a static site is through Azure Storage:
