Answer 1

I suppose this problem occurs because you don't have a specific file that webjob need.

I create a .net core console app, after publish it, I zipped the folder and want to upload it as a webjob.

failed, as yours.

The solution is add a .cmd file in the folder and zip it with other files.

run.cmd:

@echo off

dotnet ConsoleApp1.dll

Now, these are the whole content that will inside the zip:

zip these files and upload.

Finally, works.

I hope this solution can help you. Please let me know if your problem is different from this.

Answer 2

In my case, the problem was in publish profile. You need to configure your publish artifact according to the App Service configuration.

Answer 3

In my case, the executable file (exe, bat, cmd, etc.) needed to be in the root of the zip for it to work.
