Build not working on Azure

[steve1607]

Hi everyone,
the issue is a result of deploy.cmd:104.
Locally I could run the server but when running the deployment script on Azure the following error ocurred:

Command: deploy.cmd

My workaround to resolve this issue: Comment out deploy.cmd:104-109 and do the build process locally by running gulp on my local machine. Then push everything to azure app service.

It seems like gulp is not working like it should. Maybe here is a compatibility issue with some package versions?

Best regards,
Steven

This should be resolved in the new version
