Expected behavior

2 folders "lib" and "resources" under wwwroot and one app.jar.
the "lib" folder contains the dependencies (.jar files) that are needed for the application

Actual behavior

Libraries under "lib" replace the app.jar directly in wwwroot and the server does not start, no "lib" and "resources" folder is created

Steps to reproduce the problem

Use maven to deploy the target

cd ..\..\AppServer
rmdir /s /q target
rmdir /s /q lib
call mvn clean package
call mvn package
call mvn package azure-webapp:deploy

Update: it works as expected with version 1.14.0

@dsteindo Thanks for your report, we have migrated to kudu deployment which need to specify the deployment type for each resource, or we will deploy it as a jar file by default. Could you please try deploy with following configuration? You may find more details about kudu deployment here

            <resources>
                <!-- Upload executable jar -->
                <resource>
                    <directory>${project.basedir}/target/production</directory>
                    <includes>
                        <include>*.jar</include>
                    </includes>
                </resource>
                <!-- Upload resource folder with additional content -->
                <resource>
                    <type>static</type>

Hi @Flanker32 Thank you for your suggestion, it worked as expected and the structure was considered, however I have an question regarding the deployment logs now.
Before with 1.14.0 the deployment logs looked like this in azure

And it seems that the whole "wwwroot" directory was cleaned up before the files were uploaded

Now with 2.6.0 I get a dozen deployment logs in this format

There is no info which files were uploaded and it seems to replace existing files and leaving old ones behind.
I tried to set this clean attribute but it was not considered and the build failed, so I am not sure where it should be positioned.
Is this wanted behavior and is there a possibility to restart the application only once the final file is uploaded?
(same here, I do not know where this restart attribute needs to be positioned, as it complains when I add it to the resource)

[Flanker32]

@dsteindo Sorry for the late response, currently maven toolkit did not support deploy options like clean and restart in one deploy. We are working on the support and will update here once there are updates.
If you want to restart the application after deployment, you may set <stopAppDuringDeployment> to true in configuration, we will stop the app before deployment and restart it after deploy done.

[dsteindo]

Thank you for the support so far @Flanker32 and I am looking forward to future improvements.
In the meanwhile I can work with the latest version as of now :)
