How can I deploy Azure WebJobs from an SDK-style project using Azure DevOps?

Since the direct use of webjobs-list.json is no longer supported, you can manually structure the WebJobs in the desired deployment folder hierarchy. You can automate this in your build/publish process using MSBuild or scripts.

• Add a custom target to the Web App .csproj to copy the WebJob binaries during publish.

XMLCopied
<Target Name="CopyWebJobs" AfterTargets="AfterPublish">
  <ItemGroup>
    <WebJobFiles Include="$(SolutionDir)MyWebJob\bin\$(Configuration)\**\*" />
  </ItemGroup>
  <Copy SourceFiles="@(WebJobFiles)" 
        DestinationFolder="$(PublishDir)app_data\jobs\triggered\MyWebJob" />
</Target>

• Create a run.csx or run.bat file in the MyWebJob directory to define the entry point for the WebJob.

Below is the Updated Azure DevOps pipeline to build and deploy the Web App along with the WebJobs.

trigger:
- main

pool:

steps:
- task: UseDotNet@2
  inputs:
    packageType: 'sdk'
    version: '6.x' # Specify the required .NET version.

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  inputs:
    command: 'build'
    projects: '**/*.csproj'

- task: DotNetCoreCLI@2
  inputs:
    command: 'publish'
    arguments: '-c Release -o $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'
    publishWebProjects: true

- task: PublishBuildArtifacts@1
  inputs:
    pathToPublish: $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)
    artifactName: 'drop'

- task: AzureRmWebAppDeployment@4
  inputs:
    azureSubscription: '<Your Azure Subscription>'
    appType: 'webApp'
    WebAppName: '<Your Web App Name>'
    package: '$(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)'

According to this MS doc .NET Framework console apps, and it describes functionality that was available in older versions of Visual Studio when working with non-SDK-style projects.

This functionality is effectively deprecated when using modern SDK-style projects, which are the default for new .NET projects, including .NET Core, .NET 5, and later.

The new project system doesn't include these files (
webjobs-list.json and webjob-publish-settings.json) or the associated Visual Studio features for WebJob management.

WebJob deployment must now be handled manually or through custom MSBuild targets.

For those who want to know my solution

First in csproj I added a props file to isolate my Targets

xml<br><Import Project="$(SolutionDir)\webjobs.props" /><br>

Second I define all my WebJobStucture

xml<br><ItemGroup><br> <WebJob Include="AdHoc"><br> <Location>$(SolutionDir)WebJobs/AdHoc</Location><br> <RunMode>Triggered</RunMode><br> </WebJob><br> <WebJob Include="Igor"><br> <Location>$(SolutionDir)WebJobs/Igor</Location><br> <RunMode>Continuous</RunMode><br> </WebJob> <br></ItemGroup><br>

Finaly the Webjobs.props

xml<br><Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003"><br> <!-- Classify WebJobs into Triggered and Continuous --> <br> <Target Name="ClassifyWebJobs" AfterTargets="Publish"><br> <ItemGroup><br> <TriggeredWebJobs Include="@(WebJob)" Condition="'%(WebJob.RunMode)' == 'Triggered'" /><br> <ContinuousWebJobs Include="@(WebJob)" Condition="'%(WebJob.RunMode)' == 'Continuous'" /><br> </ItemGroup><br> </Target><br><br> <!-- Copy Triggered WebJobs --> <br> <Target Name="CopyTriggeredWebJobs" AfterTargets="Publish" DependsOnTargets="ClassifyWebJobs"><br> <Message Text="Copying Triggered WebJobs for $(ProjectName)" Importance="high" /><br><br> <!-- Perform the file copy operation --> <br> <MSBuild Projects="$(MSBuildProjectFile)"<br> Targets="CopySingleWebJob"<br> Properties="WebJobName=%(TriggeredWebJobs.Identity);WebJobLocation=%(TriggeredWebJobs.Location);WebJobDestination=triggered" /><br> </Target><br><br> <!-- Copy Continuous WebJobs --> <br> <Target Name="CopyContinuousWebJobs" AfterTargets="Publish" DependsOnTargets="ClassifyWebJobs"><br> <Message Text="Copying Triggered WebJobs for $(ProjectName)" Importance="high" /><br><br> <!-- Perform the file copy operation --> <br> <MSBuild Projects="$(MSBuildProjectFile)"<br> Targets="CopySingleWebJob"<br> Properties="WebJobName=%(ContinuousWebJobs.Identity);WebJobLocation=%(ContinuousWebJobs.Location);WebJobDestination=continuous" /><br> </Target><br><br> <!-- Copy a single WebJob --> <br> <Target Name="CopySingleWebJob"><br> <Message Text="Copying Triggered WebJob: $(WebJobName) from $(WebJobLocation)" Importance="high" /><br><br> <!-- Include files from the WebJob's bin directory --> <br> <ItemGroup><br> <TriggeredWebJobFiles Include="$(WebJobLocation)\bin\**\*" /><br> </ItemGroup><br><br> <!-- Perform the file copy operation --> <br> <Copy SourceFiles="@(TriggeredWebJobFiles)"<br> DestinationFiles="@(TriggeredWebJobFiles->'$(PublishDir)app_data\jobs\$(WebJobDestination)\$(WebJobName)\%(RecursiveDir)%(Filename)%(Extension)')" /><br> </Target><br></Project><br>
