Unable to Set Up Continuous Deployment in Azure

Question

Looking at the docs, it would appear that this would be super simple...perhaps it's something with my Azure Configuration. I'm simply setting up a demo project in Azure (which will be a Node app). I set up a Web App (have tried standard, basic, and free levels) and try to follow the instructions here which seem very straightforward.

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-publish-source-control/

But when I go to "All Settings" on my web app, there is no "Continuous deployment" option under the Publishing settings.

So I thought that perhaps I needed to set my deployment credentials. When I go to Deployment Credentials, it states that I need to create a deployment username and password. But even when I enter credentials that satisfy the requirements, the Save button is never enabled!

Any ideas on what is going on here would be greatly appreciated. I though perhaps it was some kind of regional limitation, but that seems unlikely as I've tried both West and SouthCentral regions. I'm convinced I'm doing something obviously dumb and just missing it.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I just encounter the same issue, no Continuous Deployment option and cannot save deployment credentials. I just switch back to classic portal and set it from there(click the app > go to dashboard > quick glance > Set up deployment from source control). After setting up and then I switch back to the new portal and the option appears. Really weird issue.

Answer 2

Not much to say...I basically deleted and totally cleaned up everything from Azure and started over and miraculously the 3rd or 4th time, the option just appeared.... Not very reassuring...no idea what altered the situation.

Answer 3

Same issue here, but just copy paste deployment hook (Settings/Deployment Source) and add it to the github repository webhooks and it worked.
