How do I deploy (release) a static web app from a pipeline artifact?

Question

I have a build pipeline that creates a pipeline artifact that contains two zip files. I'd like to use AzureStaticWebApp@0 to deploy the static web app in a release pipeline. I've filled out the fields, but the 'working directory' points at the zip file, and I don't know if that's correct.

Hi @Oblio
Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.
To deploy a static web app from a pipeline artifact using the AzureStaticWebApp@0 task, make sure the 'working directory' points to the folder with the files to be deployed, not the zip file itself. The workingDirectory should be set to where the artifact is extracted or where the files are located.

If your build pipeline creates a zip file, you might need to extract that zip in the release pipeline before pointing to the directory with the extracted files. Also, double-check that the APP_LOCATION and OUTPUT_LOCATION in your pipeline config match your project's structure.
