`Azure/functions-action@v1` taking 30+ minutes with Github Actions NodeJS Function

[branburciaga]

Hi,

Please let me know if this should be in another repo, but I am using the base config in the linked examples for deploying a NodeJS function app to Azure, and our build/deploy GitHub Action Workflow is taking 30+ minutes every single time.

The Github Action gets stuck on Azure/functions-action@v1.

Any ideas why?

Here is my workflow.yml:

# Docs for the Azure Web Apps Deploy action: https://github.com/azure/functions-action
# More GitHub Actions for Azure: https://github.com/Azure/actions

name: Build and Deploy

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - development
  workflow_dispatch:

env:
  AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PACKAGE_PATH: '.' # set this to the path to your web app project, defaults to the repository root
  NODE_VERSION: '18.x' # set this to the node version to use (supports 8.x, 10.x, 12.x)

jobs:
  build-and-deploy:
    runs-on: windows-latest
    steps:
      - name: 'Checkout GitHub Action'
        uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Setup Node ${{ env.NODE_VERSION }} Environment
        uses: actions/setup-node@v1
        with:
          node-version: ${{ env.NODE_VERSION }}

      - name: 'Resolve Project Dependencies Using Npm'
        shell: pwsh
        run: |
          pushd './${{ env.AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}'
          npm install
          npm run build --if-present
          npm run test --if-present
          popd

      - name: 'Run Azure Functions Action'
        uses: Azure/functions-action@v1
        id: fa
        with:
          app-name: 'my-func'
          slot-name: 'Production'
          package: ${{ env.AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}
          publish-profile: ${{ secrets.AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PUBLISH_PROFILE_DEV }}

And the Github Action debug logs below. It repeats this over and over:

Hi @branburciaga It has been some time but where you able to find a solution to this issue? I am facing the same. :( Thanks!

If I recall correctly, I think I solved this by going into the function app within the Azure portal and adding the following Environment Variable:

WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE = 1

Used to take me 30+ minutes to deploy. Now it's under 3 minutes.
