Hi -

On a certain server (that is pretty locked down when it comes to access), when I start the Deployment Service, it eventually crashes with the stack below logged in the Event Viewer. Is there a way to get more information and figure out exactly what may be going on?

Stack:
at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.AsyncMethodBuilderCore.b__1(System.Object) at System.Threading.QueueUserWorkItemCallback.WaitCallback_Context(System.Object) at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.RunInternal(System.Threading.ExecutionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback, System.Object, Boolean) at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(System.Threading.ExecutionContext, System.Threading.ContextCallback, System.Object, Boolean) at System.Threading.QueueUserWorkItemCallback.System.Threading.IThreadPoolWorkItem.ExecuteWorkItem() at System.Threading.ThreadPoolWorkQueue.Dispatch() at System.Threading._ThreadPoolWaitCallback.PerformWaitCallback()

    I should also add that on other servers, the event log indicates that SignalR is connected via WebSockets but on the server that has problems, SignalR is connected via serverSentEvents. I don't know if that makes a difference.

    What are other events before this crash in Deployment Agent event log?

    Hm, not much. Is it ever trying to connect after that? Have you tried
    rinstalling the app?

    LOL. I was just doing that and it seems to be working better
    now...although I get this in the logs.

    System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of
    an object.
       at
    Microsoft.Web.Deployment.WebDeployTelemetryService.LogWebDeployVersion()

    Additionally, when I wipe the directory and site and try to redeploy, I
    also get this:

    Deployment job huq1bgn2lc2dq7gw error: Filename:
    Error: Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'add' with unique key
    attribute 'name' set to 'My Release'

    This wasn't happening before.

    Thanks for all your help.

    I don't know if this helps but the OS is Windows 2008R2. After
    reinstalling, I have also experienced that after restarting the service it
    will randomly crash.

    Thanks.

    Yeah, thanks.

    Do you have .NET 4.5.1 installed or it's just 4.5?
    What does "My Release" stand for?

    Will check level of framework...

    Error: Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'add' with unique key
    attribute 'name' set to 'My Release'

    My Release is the value of the site_name property. I get this anytime I
    try to redeploy to an environment where the site was removed and backing
    directory deleted.

    I will take a look what might be wrong. Could you please drop a screenshot of the environment settings?

    This behavior seems new as I don't think I experienced this yesterday.

    Thanks.

    Some additional info...

    If I create the website via IIS Manager and leave it empty, then there is
    no error. So it does have something to do with the fact that the site
    existed, was deleted, and now I'm trying to have AppVeyor recreate it.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    So, to reproduce the problem I'm doing first deployment then deleting website in IIS manager and then deploying again, right?

    That's correct.

    I see Deployment Agent constantly crashes on Windows 2008 R2 after 30 seconds of working. This is not good - checking what's wrong.

    Ok. That's definitely something I experienced as well.

    The update. If a client is on Windows 7 (Windows 2008 R2) and earlier SignalR's communication protocol falls to Server-Side Events (SSE) or long-polling (LP). Web Sockets are supported on Windows 8 (Windows Server 2012) only or later. The problem is that while connected via SSE or LP adding to SignalR groups is not working. I'm currently investigating the issue to see if it's just AppVeyor setup (we use Service Bus backplane) or it's a more common issue.

    Also experiencing the same things on Windows 7.

    Well, it's getting even more interesting. it's somehow related to the client. If I run Fiddler and do the same test it's successfully connected and added to the group...

    Interesting. It does work "sometimes" but definitely not consistently.

    OK, after spending hours trying to nail down this issue I came up with the following issue: https://github.com/SignalR/SignalR/issues/3042

    Let's wait for the response from SignalR team, but until then we'll be considering Windows Server 2012 (or Windows 8) or later as a minimum requirement for running AppVeyor Deployment Agent.
