Azure App Service Deployment: Unable to Find Artifacts in GitHub Actions Workflow

Question

I am encountering an issue while attempting to deploy a Spring Boot application to Azure App Service using GitHub Actions. The build process on GitHub is successful; however, the deployment step is failing with the following error message: "Error: Unable to find any artifacts for the associated workflow."

GitHub Actions Workflow Configuration:

I tried a simple Java Spring Boot application and successfully deployed it to Azure App Service via GitHub.

For deployment purposes, I ran the following command.

mvn clean install

Local output:

Ensure that the Build Success response is present after running the build with Maven, as shown below:

In the build run, ensure that artifacts are successfully uploaded, as shown below:

I downloaded the artifact without any errors.
