Hi,

We receive constantly today this error in our NEXT project Release deployment:
Downloading artifact BusinessSite/Deployment/Package-Release.zip to temporary location...OK

The deploy is working to other instances, and Kudu is accessible at https://pfrbusiness-staging.scm.azurewebsites.net/ via browser.
Already restarted the staging and there were no changes on the stage or production Azure web app.
Any idea?

Ok, we have found the reason.
There was an app configuration change in Azure, and the new size exceeded the limits and the csc cannot compile it. Nice.
"The environment block used to start a process cannot be longer than 65535 bytes."
Sorry, you can close this discussion.
